Answer:

a) 7.94 x 10²³ molecules, b) 5.62 g SO2, c) 1.97 L

Explanation:

a) We need to first convert Cu2S to moles. Since molar mass of Cu2S is 159.14 g/mol, 14.0 g = 0.0880 mol. Using molar ratios (3 mol O2/2 mol Cu2S, 0.0880 mol of Cu2S = 0.132 mol O2. Since 1 mol contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules, 0.132 mol O2 = 7.94 x 10²² molecules O2.

b) Since the molar ratios of Cu2S to SO2 is 1:1, 0.0880 mol of Cu2S produces 0.0880 mol SO2. To convert mol to grams, we use the molar mass of SO2 (64.06 g/mol) to figure out that 0.0880 mol SO2 = 5.63 g SO2.

c) At STP, 1 mol occupies 22.4 liters. 0.0880 mol SO2 x 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.97 L

Assuming you have 6.24 x 1014 electrons and the surface area of the pail is 0.2 m2, what is the charge density (C/m2)?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

σ = 4.998 E-4 C/m²

Explanation:

1 Coulomb (C) ≡ 6.241509 E18 electrons (e)

∴ # elect = 6.24 E14 elect

charge (Q):

⇒ Q = (6.24 E14 elect)/( 1 C /6.241509 E18 elect) = 9.998 E-5 C

charge density (σ):

σ = Q/S

∴ surface area (S) = 0.2 m²

⇒ σ = ( 9.998 E-5 C ) / ( 0.2 m²)

⇒ σ = 4.998 E-4 C/m²

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms

kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

Incomplete octet
Double bond
Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.
