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.

Chemistry Lab Question: Filtration
tatyana61 [14]

For the first question, salt is soluble while sand is insoluble or not dissolvable in water. The salt should have vanished or melted, but the sand stayed noticeable or visible, making a dark brown solution probably with some sand particles caught on the walls of the container when the boiling water was put in to the mixture of salt and sand. The solubility of a chemical can be disturbed by temperature, and in the case of salt in water, the hot temperature of the boiling water enhanced the salt's capability to melt in it.

For the second question, the melted or dissolved salt should have easily made its way through the filter paper and into the second container, while the undissolved and muddy sand particles is caught on the filter paper. The size of the pores of the filter paper didn’t change. On the contrary, the size of the salt became smaller because it has been dissolved which is also the reason why it was able to go through the filter paper, while the size of the sand may have doubled or even tripled which made it harder to pass through.

Convert 8.876 × 10^12 m^2 to units of km^2.
Darya [45]

Answer:

8.876\times 10^{18}\ km^2

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to convert 8.876 \times 10^{12}\ m^2 to km².

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

⇒ 1 km² = 10⁶ m²

So,

8.876 \times 10^{12}\ m^2=8.876 \times 10^{12}\times 10^6\ km^2\\\\=8.876\times 10^{18}\ km^2

So, 8.876 \times 10^{12}\ m^2 is equal to 8.876\times 10^{18}\ km^2.

Answer:

C. NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Explanation:

» For a balanced equation, the number of atoms of reactants and products must be equal.

» In equation C, the reactant side has one sodium atom while ptoduct side has 2 sodium atoms.

» The balanced equations mus be;

{ \rm{ 2NaHCO _{3(aq)} → Na _{2}CO _{3(s)}+ H _{2} O _{(l)} + }CO _{2(g)} }
