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.

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L at 198 ºC. Assuming that the pressure remains constant, what tem

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L

Temperature = 198 °C = 471 K

The volume will be reduced to 2.50 L

Step 2 Calculate the new temperature via Charles' law

V1/T2 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 5.10 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 471 K

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume of the gas = 2.50 L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

5.10 L / 471 K = 2.50 L / T2

T2 = 2.50 L / (5.10 L / 471 K)

T2 = 230.9 K = -42.1

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Learn how changes in binding free energy affect binding and the ratio of unbound and bound molecules.

Delvig [45]

C)[D]/[ED] = 5.20

D)[D]/[ED] = 5.20

E)[D']_T = 1.495* 10 ^-7 M

F)[D'] / [ED'] = 0.0579

Explanation:

E = 250 nM =2.5* 10 ^-7 mol/L , T=298.15 K

Dissociation constant of K_D = 1.3 μM (1.3 *10 ^-6 M)

E + D ⇄ ED → K_a = [ED] / [D][E] (association constant)

ED ⇄ E + D → K_D = [E][D] / [ED] (dissociation constant)

[E] =2.5*10^-7 mol/L

K_D = 1.3* 10^-6 M

K_D = [E][D] / [ED] → [D]/[ED] = K_D / [E]

= [D]/[ED] = 1.3* 10 ^-6 / 2.5 *10^-7

= 13/25 * 10

=130/25 = 5.20

[D]/[ED] = 5.20

ΔG =RTln Kd

ΔG_2 for E and D = 1.987 * 298.15 * ln 1.3*10^-6

ΔG_2 592.454 * [ln 1.3 +ln 10^-6]

ΔG_1 = 592.424 [0.2623 - 13.8155]

ΔG_2 = -592.424 * 13.553

ΔG_1 = -8184.633 cal/ mol

ΔG_1 = -8184.633 * 4.18 J/mol = -34244.508 J?mol

ΔG_1 = -34.245 KL/mol

so, ΔG_2 = ΔG_1 - 10.5 KJ/mol

ΔG_2 = -34.245 - 10.5

ΔG_2 = -44.745KJ / mol

ΔG_2 =RT ln K_D

-44.745 *10^3

=8.314 *298.15 lnK_D

lnK_D' = - 44745 / 2478.81 g

ln K_D' = -18.051

K_D' = -18.051

K_D' = e^-18.051

[D]/[ED] = 5.20

[E] = 2.5* 10 ^-7 mol/ L = a

K_D' = [E][D] / [ED'] E +D' → ED'

K_D' = a/2(x-(a/2) / (a/2)

KD' = x - a/2

=2.447 *10^-8 = (2.5/2) * 10^-7

x=2.447 * 10^-8 + 1.25 * 10^-7

x = 2.447 *10^-8 + 1.25 * 10 ^-7

x= 10^-7 [1.25 + 0.2447]

x = 1.4947 * 10^-7

[D']_T = 1.495* 10 ^-7 M

K_D' = [E][D'] / [ED']

[D'] / [ED'] = KD' / [E]

[D'] / [ED'] = 1.447 *10^-8 / 2.5* 10^-7

[D'] / [ED'] = 0.5788 * 10^-1

[D'] / [ED'] = 0.0579

There are three competing factors at play here: 1. The effective nuclear charge 2. The size of the atom and the force of attract

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

These three factors are required for ionization potential or ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization potential refers to the amount of energy which is required for the removal of outermost electron of the atom. If the atom size is big so the outermost electron is far from the nucleus and low energy is required for its removal due to lower force of attraction between nucleus and outermost electron. If the nuclear charge is higher, so the electron is tightly held by the nucleus and require more energy for its removal. Nuclear charge means number of protons present in the nucleus.
