Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

O_2:-

Valence electrons of oxygen = 6

The total number of the valence electrons  = 2(6) = 12

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So, The Lewis structure is shown in image below.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

Formal charge for oxygen:

\text{Formal charge}=6-4-\frac{4}{2}=0

From the structure,

Number of bond pairs = 4 (Double bond)

Number of lone pairs = 4

<u>Hence, the correct option is:-   None of these</u>

The compound Xe(CF3)2 decomposes in afirst-order reaction to elemental Xe with a half-life of 30. min.If you place 7.50 mg of Xe
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

t=147.24\ min

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life = 30 min

t_{1/2}=\frac{\ln2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{\ln2}{30}\ min^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹

Initial concentration [A_0] = 7.50 mg

Final concentration [A_t] = 0.25 mg

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

0.25=7.50e^{-0.0231\times t}

750e^{-0.0231t}=25

750e^{-0.0231t}=25

x=\frac{\ln \left(30\right)}{0.0231}

t=147.24\ min

In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.

Consider the reaction 3X + 2Y 5C + 4D
xeze [42]

Answer:

This problem is providing a chemical equation between two hypothetical elements, X and Y and asks for the molesof X that are needed to 

produce 21.00 moles of D in excess Y. After the following work, the answer turns out to be 15.75 mol X:Mole ratios:In chemistry, one the most crucial branches is stoichiometry, which allows us to perform calculations with grams, moles and particles (atoms, molecules and ions). It is based on the concept of mole ratios, whereby the moles of a specific substance can be converted to moles of another one, say product to reactant, reactant to reactant, reactant to product and product to product.

Calculations:In such a way, since 21.00 moles of D are given, we need the mole ratio of D to X in order to get the answer, which according to the reaction is 3:4 based on their coefficients in the reaction. Hence, we calculate the required as follows:
