Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.

The given molecule is, hypochlorite ion.

Chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in hypochlorite ion, $ClO^-$ = 7 + 6 + 1 = 14

According to electron-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of hypochlorite ion is shown below.

Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot diagrams or Lewis dot formulas. This diagrams depict the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. A Lewis structure can be drawn for both covalently bonded molecule and coordination compounds.

The lewis structure of the hypochlorite ion is attached below. From the lewis structure, it can be seen that, in hypochlorite ion Cl and O shares one pair of electrons. Hence, bond order of hypochlorite ion is one.

Answer:

Explanation:

What is the product of a reaction between a strong acid and a sulfite ion (which acts as a base)?

melamori03 [73]

$SO_{2}$ is the product of a reaction between a strong acid and a sulfite ion (which acts as a base).

A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base interact quantitatively is known as neutralisation or neutralisation. By neutralising a reaction in water, surplus hydrogen or hydroxide ions are removed from the solution.

Despite being a weak base, the sulfite ion can hydrolyze to form basic solutions. The equilibria in an acidic solution are changed to create sulphurous acid, which leads to the development of SO2 gas. A colourless gas with a distinctive suffocating smell, sulphur dioxide.

The reaction mechanism is as follows;

$SO_{3}^{2-} (aq) + H_{2} O(l)$ ⇒ $HSO_{3} ^{-} (aq) + OH^{-} (aq)$
