40 electrons

Explanation:

The N for silicon tetrachloride, SiCl₄ is 40 electrons. The needed electrons that would be used to complete the lewis structure of the compound is actually 40 electrons. This number of electron will help the compound attain a noble configuration.

  • The compound SiCl₄ is a covalent one. Here, there is sharing of electrons between two atoms.
  • In drawing the electron dot formula, one must take into account the Available electrons and the Needed electrons.
  • The Available electrons are sum of the valence electrons that can be accessed for the bonding. Si has 4 valence electrons, Cl has 7 valence electrons this makes a total of 4 + 7(4 atoms of chlorine), 32 available electrons.
  • But to make a complete octet like that of noble gases, each atom most have 8 complete outer most electrons. This is the needed number of electrons. Since there are 5 atoms i.e 4 atoms of chlorine and 1 atom of Silicon, the needed electrons will be 5x8 = 40 electrons.

If you start with 10ml of 0.75 m cu(no3)2 how much cu (s) in grams should be recovered in step #7
LenaWriter [7]
<span>0.48 grams. Not a well worded question since it's assuming I know the reactions. But I'll assume that since there's just 1 atom of copper per molecule of Cu(NO3)2, that the reaction will result in 1 atom of copper per molecule of Cu(NO3)2 used. With that in mind, we will have 0.010 l * 0.75 mol/l = 0.0075 moles of copper produced. To convert the amount in moles, multiply by the atomic weight of copper, which is 63.546 g/mol. So 0.0075 mol * 63.546 g/mol = 0.476595 g. Round the results to 2 significant figures, giving 0.48 grams.</span>

Calculate the work (kJ) done during a reaction in which the internal volume expands from 20 L to 43 L against an outside pressur
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{-10.0 kJ}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the work

w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm

2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules

w = \text{-98.9 L\cdot$atm } \times \dfrac{\text{101.3 J}}{\text{1 L$\cdot$atm }} = \text{-10000 J} = \textbf{-10.0 kJ}\\\\\text{The work done is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-10.0 kJ}}$}

The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.

A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder? 4.01 × 1022 molec
Semmy [17]
The answer is 9.03 × 10²⁴<span> molecules.

</span><span>Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance.
Make the proportion.
</span><span>6.02 × 10²³ molecules per 1 mol
</span>x per 15 mol

6.02 × 10²³ molecules : 1 mol = x : 15 mol
x = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules * 15 mol * 1 mol
x = 90.3 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²³⁺¹ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²⁴ molecules
