As two atoms of fluorine combine to become a molecule of fluorine, a bond is formed as energy is released. A molecule is more stable at a lower eneergy level.

When two atoms of Florine combines, they share an electron pair to complete it's octet. This result is formation of single bond between two fluorine atoms. This process is exothermic in nature, and hence, heat is liberated during the process of bond formation.  <span />

Draw the conjugate base for the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction that occurs when the following acid reacts with water. Show al
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The structures are shown below.

Explanation:

When the acid reacts with water, it loses one proton (H⁺) and forms a base, which is the conjugate base of its acid.

The formal charge of an atom can be calculated by:

FC = X - (Y + Z/2)

Where X is the valence electrons of the neutral atom, Y is the unshared electrons, and Z is the shared electrons in the molecule.

a) When HCl deprotonates, it forms Cl⁻ as the conjugate base. The neutral atom Cl has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1 The structure is shown below in figure a.

b) When Hbr deprotonates it forms Br- as the conjugate base. The neutral atom has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1. The structure is shown below in figure b.

c) When CH3COOH loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base CH3COO⁻. The carbon as 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has 1 valence electron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The first carbon make simple bonds with each hydrogen and with the second carbon, and so, all the electrons are shared, and it has FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0, as so the hydrogens have FC = 1 - (0 + 2/2) = 0.

The second carbon does 1 simple bond with the first carbon, a double bond with one oxygen, and a simple bond with the other oxygen, and so doesn't have unshared electrons, and FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0.

The first oxygen does a double bond with the carbon, and so it has 4 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0. The second oxygen does a simple bond with the carbon, and so has 5 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (5 + 2/2) = 0.

The structure is shown in figure c.

Based on the balanced equation 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O calculate the number of excess reagent units remaining when 52 C2H2 mol
erica [24]

Answer:

20 molecules of oxygen gas remains after the reaction.

Explanation:

2C_2H_2 + 5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2 + 2H_2O

Molecules of ethyne = 52

Molecules of oxygen gas = 150

According to reaction, 2 molecules of ethyne reacts with 5 molecules of oxygen gas.

Then 52 molecules of ethyne will react with:

\frac{5}{2}\times 52=130 molecules of oxygen gas.

As we can see that we have 150 molecules of oxygen gas, but 52 molecules of ethyne will react with 130 molecules of oxygen gas. So, this means that ethyne is a limiting reagent and oxygen gas is an excessive reagent.

Remaining molecules of recessive reagent = 150 - 130 = 20

20 molecules of oxygen gas remains after the reaction.

How many moles of magnesium, Mg, are there in 4.75 grams of magnesium?
Nina [5.8K]
Molar mass Mg = 24.3 g/mol

1 mole mg ------------ 24.3 g
?? moles mg --------- 4.75 g

4.75 x 1 / 24.3 => 0.195 moles of Mg
