Answer:

<u>The molecular formula of the gas sample = C_2Cl_2 </u>

<u>Lewis structure is shown in the image below.</u>

<u>The geometry around each carbon atom is linear.</u>

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 294.0 K

V = 10.0 mL = 0.01 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L )

Pressure = 1.10 atm

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol  

Applying the equation as:

1.10 atm × 0.01 L = n ×0.0821 L atm/ K mol  × 294.0 K  

⇒n = 0.0004557 mol

Given, mass = 0.04328 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0004557\ mole= \frac{0.04328\ g}{Molar\ mass}

<u>Molar mass of the gas sample = 94.9747 g/mol</u>

Given that:-

% of C = 25.305

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 25.305 / 12.0107 = 2.1069

% of Cl = 74.695

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

% moles of Cl = 74.695 / 35.453 = 2.1069

Taking the simplest ratio for C and Cl as:

2.1069 : 2.1069  = 1 : 1

<u>The empirical formula is = CCl</u>

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 35.5 = 47.5 g/mol

Molar mass = 94.9747 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

94.9747 = n × 47.5

⇒ n = 2

<u>The molecular formula of the gas sample = C_2Cl_2 </u>

Also,

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of Chlorine = 7  

The total number of the valence electrons  = 4*2 + 7*2 = 22

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom in the molecule is complete. So,  

The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

According to the theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability.  The carbon atoms are sp hybridized.

<u>So, it is of linear shape.</u>

Salutations!

_____ Is a process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution?

Distillation is the process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution. Distillation best works when liquids have unalike boiling points. It is widely used to to isolate ethanol.

When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients, the coefficient for nitrogen dioxide will
Phoenix [80]

In a redox reaction, electron could be lost or gained. The coefficients in the balanced redox reaction are;  1/2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1.

<h3>What is a redox reaction equation?</h3>

A redox reaction equation shows the species that were oxidized or reduced in a redox reaction. In this case, we are asked for the coefficients in a balanced redox reaction equation.

We must recall that five electrons were lost/gained in the process hence the balanced reaction equation is;

1/2I2 + 5HNO3 -----> IO3^- + 5NO2 + 2H2O + H^+

The coefficients in the balanced equation therefore are; 1/2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1.
