Dicarbon monoxide, C2O, is found in dust clouds in space. Analysis of it shows that the sequence of atoms in this molecule is C–

C–O. All bonds are double bonds and there are no unpaired electrons. How many lone pairs of electrons are present in a molecule of C2O?

Carbon dioxide has 4 lone pairs of electrons. During bonding, the bonds accounts for 8 electrons of the 16 valence electrons the molecule has. The remaining 8 valence electrons will be placed as lone pairs, two on each oxygen atom. As a result carbon dioxide molecule has a total 4  lone pairs of electrons. Dicarbon monoxide is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.  A lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and is some times called a non-bonding pair. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms.

Solve the ideal gas law equation for pressure.
posledela

Answer:

p=\frac{nRT}{V}

Explanation:

The ideal gas law equation is an equation that relates some of the quantities that describe a gas: pressure, volume and temperature.

The equation is:

pV=nRT

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas (must be expressed in Kelvin)

Here we want to solve the equation isolating p, the pressure of the gas.

We can do that simply by dividing both terms by the volume, V. We find:

p=\frac{nRT}{V}

So, we see that:

- The pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas

- The pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas

Several properties of water are shown. Classify each property as a physical property or a chemical property.
max2010maxim [7]

can be split into hydrogen and oxygen             chemical property

is liquid at room temperature                              physical property

has a density of 1.0 g/cm³                                    physical property

reacts with certain metals                                  chemical property

Explanation:

The physical properties of matter are the properties that occur when no change is occurring to a matter. They are usually observed with our senses or some simple laboratory experiments.

Some of the physical properties are boiling point, density, state of matter, e.t.c

The chemical properties are the properties that occurs when a matter undergoes some chemical changes.

For example rusting, decomposition, reactivity e.t.c

Answer:

Relation between , molality and temperature is as follows.

                T =

It is also known as depression between freezing point where, i is the Van't Hoff factor.

Let us assume that there is 100% dissociation. Hence, the value of i for these given species will be as follows.

         i for  = 3

          i for glucose = 1

          i for NaCl = 2

Depression in freezing point will have a negative sign. Therefore, d

depression in freezing point for the given species is as follows.

       

                 =

       

                  =

     

                   =

Therefore, we can conclude that given species are arranged according to their freezing point depression with the least depression first as follows.

                    Glucose < NaCl <
