Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?

1 answer:

7 0

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

An aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving 15.6 g of Cu(NO3)2 ⋅ 6 H2O in water and diluting to 345 mL of solution. What is th

Answer: The molarity of $NO_3^-$ ions in the solution is 0.306 M

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of solute $(Cu(NO_3)_2.6H_2O)$ = 15.6 g

Molar mass of $(Cu(NO_3)_2.6H_2O)$ = 295.6 g/mol

Volume of solution = 345 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }Cu(NO_3)_2.6H_2O=\frac{15.6g\times 1000}{295.6g/mol\times 345mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of }Cu(NO_3)_.6H_2O=0.153M$

As, 1 mole of $(Cu(NO_3)_2.6H_2O)$ produces 1 mole of copper (II) ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions.

So, molarity of $NO_3^-$ ions = (2 × 0.153) = 0.306 M

Hence, the molarity of $NO_3^-$ ions in the solution is 0.306 M

50cm3 of 1 mol/dm3 HCl at 30°C was mixed with 50cm3 of 1mol/dm3 NaOH at 30°C in a styrofoam calorimeter. The temperature of the

trapecia [35]

Answer:

-21 kJ·mol⁻¹

Explanation:

Data:

H₃O⁺ + OH⁻ ⟶ 2H₂O

V/mL: 50 50

c/mol·dm⁻³: 1.0 1.0

ΔT = 4.5 °C

C = 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

C_cal = 50 J·°C⁻¹

Calculations:

(a) Moles of acid

$\text{Moles of acid} = \text{0.050 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{0.050 mol}\\\\\text{Moles of base} = \text{0.050 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{0.050 mol}$

So, we have 0.050 mol of reaction

(b) Volume of solution

V = 50 dm³ + 50 dm³ = 100 dm³

(c) Mass of solution

$\text{Mass of solution} = \text{100 dm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.00 g}}{\text{1 dm}^{3}} = \text{100 g}$

(d) Calorimetry

There are three energy flows in this reaction.

q₁ = heat from reaction

q₂ = heat to warm the water

q₃ = heat to warm the calorimeter

q₁ + q₂ + q₃ = 0

nΔH + mCΔT + C_calΔT = 0

0.050ΔH + 100×4.184×4.5 + 50×4.5 = 0

0.050ΔH + 1883 + 225 = 0

0.050ΔH + 2108 = 0

0.050ΔH = -2108

ΔH = -2108/0.0500

= -42 000 J/mol

= -42 kJ/mol

This is the heat of reaction for the formation of 2 mol of water

The heat of reaction for the formation of mol of water is -21 kJ·mol⁻¹.

How many grams of kbr must be dissolved to make 25.0 ml of a solution that has a molarity of 0.85 m?

lyudmila [28]

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
molarity of solution to be prepared is 0.85 M
this means that there should be 0.85 mol of KBr in 1 L of solution
if 1 L contains - 0.85 mol
then 25.0 mL should contain - 0.85 mol / 1000 mL x 25.0 mL = 0.0213 mol
mass of KBr - 0.0213 mol x 119 g/mol = 2.53 g
mass of KBr that should be dissolved in 25.0 mL is 2.53 g
