Answer:

1. For the central boron atom:

A. The number of lone pairs = 0.

B. The number of single bonds = 3.

C. The number of double bonds = 0.

2. The central boron atom B. Has an incomplete octet.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as shown on the attached picture containing the required Lewis structure of boron chloride, we can see that:

1. For the central boron atom:

A. The number of lone pairs = 0 since all the three valance electrons are bonded with the chlorine atoms.

B. The number of single bonds = 3 as each chlorine atom needs only one bond to obey the octet.

C. The number of double bonds = 0 considering the previous explanation.

2. The central boron atom B. Has an incomplete octet since it reaches six electrons only from its initial three and other three provided by the three chlorine atoms.

Regards.

Consider the reaction shown.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

4.43 g Cl₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of Cl₂, you need to (1) convert moles HCl to moles Cl₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients) and then (2) convert moles Cl₂ to grams (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 significant figures like the given value.

4 HCl(g) + O₂(g) -----> 2 Cl₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)
^ ^

Molar Mass (Cl₂): 2(35.453 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Cl₂): 70.906 g/mol

0.125 moles HCl 2 moles Cl₂ 70.906 g
-------------------------- x ---------------------- x ------------------- = 4.43 g Cl₂
4 moles HCl 1 mole

What mass of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, will completely react with 2.00 moles of silver nitrate, AgNO3?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

34g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H2S + 2AgNO3 —> 2HNO3 + Ag2S

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2S required to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

We can see that 1 mole of H2S is required to react completely with 2 moles of AgNO3.

Finally, we shall convert 1 mole of H2S to grams. This is shown below:

Number of mole H2S = 1 mole

Molar mass of H2S = (2x1) + 32 = 34g/mol

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of H2S = 1 x 34

Mass of H2S = 34g

Therefore, 34g of H2S is needed to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

Which of the following is not a property of a buffer solution? a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. b) Resi

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

e) pH is independent of concentration.

Explanation:

a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE. A buffer is defined as a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

b) Resists pH changes because it reacts with added acid or base. TRUE. Thermodynamically, the reaction of added acid or base is faster with the buffer mixture than with H⁺ or OH⁻ ions of the solutions.

c) The maximum buffer capacity is at pH = pKa. TRUE. The buffer capacity is pka±1. For this, buffer capacity is maximum in pka.

d) pH is dependent on the solution ionic strength and temperature. TRUE. Ionic strength and temperature are factors that influence concentrations of ions in solutions as the H⁺ ion that is the responsible

e) pH is independent of concentration. FALSE. pH in a buffer depends completely of concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

I hope it helps!
