A. Describe the molecule chlorine dioxide, CIO in terms of three possible resonance structures.

Chemistry
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago
5 0

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.

T is amount after time t 
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>

<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>

<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>log (At/Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>

<span>HL = t / [( log (At / Ao)) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / [ ( log (12.5 / 50) / log (1/2) ] </span>

Assinale a alternativa incorreta. *
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

<u>The incorrect choice is the last one:</u>

  • <em>In the Leucipo and Democritus atomic model, electrons had negative charges.</em>

Explanation:

The translation of the question is:

Choose the incorrect statement. *

  • Matter is everything that has mass and occupies volume.

  • Mass and weight are different quantities. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and weight is a measure of the gravitational pull force suffered by the object.

  • Dalton's atomic model has similarities to the atomic model described by Leucipo and Democritus.

  • Dalton thought that atoms of the same element could not combine, as they developed mutual repulsion.

  • In the Leucipo and Democritus atomic model, electrons had negative charges.

<h2>Solution</h2>

The <em>last statement is false</em> because Leucipo and Democritus thought that the atom was an indivisible particle. This is, they did not think there were subatomic particles, such as electrons. Furthermore, the idea of a particle with a negative charge was developed much time (centuries) later.

As for the other statements:

  • <em>Matter is everything that has mass and occupies volume</em>: this is the current definition of matter; for instance, wood, air, atoms, have mass and occupy volume. Thougths, feelings do not have either mass or occupy a volume, they are not matter.

  • <em>Mass and weight are different quantities</em>. <em>Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and weight is a measure of the gravitational pull force suffered by the object</em>. Indeed, the mass is determined by the number of atoms of the substance, but weight is the force of attraction from Earth (or other planet, if the object is in other planet). Mass does not change with the location; weight does.

  • <em>Dalton's atomic model has similarities to the atomic model described by Leucipo and Democritus</em>: sure. This is a hystorical question. Leucippus and Democritus were two Greek phylosophers who believed that the matter was formed by tiny solid particles, the atom.

  • <em>Dalton thought that atoms of the same element could not combine, as they developed mutual repulsion</em>. In the times of Dalton, when he developed the law of multiple proportions, atoms of a same kind were thought to repel each other.

What happens to an endothermic reaction when an equilibrium system is heated?
mina [271]

Answer:

The system shifts forward

Explanation:

The forward reaction is favoured in order to reduce the disruption (excess heat) to the system. Position of equilibrium shifts rightwards of the equation for excess heat to be absorbed during the endothermic forward reaction

Which is a chemical property of soda ash?
Ede4ka [16]
The best answer among the choices is the first option. The chemical property of soda is that it is a highly basic substance. Its chemical name is sodium carbonate. It is more basic than sodium bicarbonate. Adding soda ash in a solution would increase the pH of the solution.
