Draw the best Lewis structure for CH 3 -1. What is the formal charge on the C?

Chemistry

djyliett [7]3 years ago

Answer :  The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3^{-1}

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3^{-1} = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1

The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what woul
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10°C  

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by the slice of pizza

Thus,    

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T=Q

<u>For water:  </u>

Volume = 50.0 L

Density of water= 1 kg/L  

So, mass of the water:  

Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}  

Mass\ of\ water=1 kg/L \times {50.0\ L}  

Mass of water  = 50 kg

Specific heat of water = 1 kcal/kg°C  

ΔT = ?

For slice of pizza:  

Q = 500 kcal

So,

50\times 1\times \Delta T=500  

ΔT = 10°C  

Increase in temperature = 10°C

Which of the following statements about the carbon cycle is NOT true?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Plants consume carbon through transpiration

Explanation:

In transpiration, plants lose water vapor through the stomata in their leaves. No carbon is involved in transpiration, which has an outbound direction. Nothing can be consumed through the stomata when vapor is going out of the plant. It´s like trying to get in through the exit.

If 2.00 g of N2 occupies 1.25 L space, how many moles of N2
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

n₂ =1.4 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of nitrogen = 2 g

Initial Volume occupy by nitrogen = 1.25 L

Final volume occupy by nitrogen = 25.0 L

Final number of moles = ?

Solution;

Formula:

V₁ / n₁ = V₂ / n₂

Number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.07 mol

Now we will put the values in formula:

V₁ / n₁ = V₂ / n₂

n₂ = V₂× n₁ /V₁

n₂ = 25 L × 0.07 mol /  1.25 L

n₂ = 1.75 L. mol / 1.25 L

n₂ =1.4 mol

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 148g NaOH in 4.00 L solution? a 0.925 M b 0.0253 M c 0.459 M d 1.363 M
Anton [14]

Answer:

M = 0,925

Explanation:

n= mass/Molecular Weight

n = 148g / 39,99 (g/mol)

n= 3,7mol

M= n/Volumen(L)

M= 3,7mol/4L

M=0,925
