Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The compound ClO2 has 19 valence electrons. ClO2 is a bent molecule with tetrahedral electron pair geometry but has two lone pairs of electrons. This is indicated by the presence of four electron pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom.

The molecule has an odd number of valence electrons, hence, it is generally regarded as a paramagnetic radical. None of the proposed Lewis structures for the molecule is satisfactory because none of them obeys the octet rule.

From the images attached, one can easily see that the electron dots around the oxygen and chlorine atoms does not satisfy the octet rule in all the resonance structures shown.

Explain why 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane. hint: examine the

Mama L [17]

Answer:-

The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.

The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.

If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.

This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.

How would you prepare 100 ml of 0.4 M MgSO4 from a stock solution of 2 M MgSO4?

miss Akunina [59]

OK, so to answer this question, you will simply use the molality equation which is as follows:
M1V1 = M2V2
In the givens you have:
M1 = 2M
V1 is the unknown
M2 = 0.4M
V2 = 100 ml

plug in the givens in the above equation:
2 x V1 = 0.4 x 100
therefore:
V1 = 20 ml

Based on this: you should take 20 ml of the 2 M solution and make volume exactly 100 ml in a volumetric flask by diluting in water.
