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.

How many grams of hydrogen are needed to react with 1.40 g of nitrogen to produce ammonia?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Write a balanced chemical reaction:

N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3

Looking at the mole ratios in this balanced equation you can see it takes 3 moles H2 to make 2 moles NH3.  So, next calculate the moles of NH3 represented by 1.80 g and then convert to moles of H2 needed:

moles of NH3 = 1.80 g x 1 mole/17 g = 0.106 moles NH3

Moles H2 needed = 0.106 moles NH3 x 3 moles H2/2 moles NH3 = 0.159 moles H2 needed

Grams H2 needed = 0.159 moles x 2 g/mole = 0.318 grams H2 needed

What happens at the cathode in an electrolytic cell?<br><br> (Answer is reduction)
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

At the cathode in an electrolytic cell, ions in the surrounding solution are reduced into atoms, which precipitate or plate out on to the solid cathode. The anode is where oxidation takes place, and the cathode is where reduction takes place.

Norma-Jean [14]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

At a certain temperature this reaction follows second-order kinetics with a rate constant of 14.1 M⁻¹s⁻¹

2SO_3(g)\rightarrow 2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)

Suppose a vessel contains SO₃ at a concentration of 1.44 M. Calculate the concentration of SO₃ in the vessel 0.240 seconds later. You may assume no other reaction is important. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of SO_3 in the vessel after 0.240 seconds is 0.24 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

2SO_3(g)\rightarrow 2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)

where,

k = rate constant = 14.1M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time taken= 0.240 second

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = ?

[A]_o = Initial concentration = 1.44 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

14.1=\frac{1}{0.240}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{1.44}\right)

[A]=0.245M

Hence, the concentration of SO_3 in the vessel after 0.240 seconds is 0.24 M
