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.

How many atoms are in 1.15 mole Cu?
xxMikexx [17]
6.022x10^23 is Avogadro’s number. Use this whenever you work with Stoichiometry involving Atoms, formula units, or molecules. 1 mol of anything is always Avogadro’s number.

Multiply everything on the top= 6.93 x 10^23
Divide by everything on the bottom = 6.93 x 10^23
Answer: 6.93 x 10^23 atoms Cu.

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

\frac{P}{T} =k

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 2 atm
  • T1= 50 C= 323 K (being 0 C= 273 K)
  • P2= 3.2 atm
  • T2= ?

Replacing:

\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =\frac{3.2 atm}{T2}

Solving:

T2*\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =3.2 atm

T2=3.2 atm*\frac{323 K}{2 atm}

T2= 516.8 K= 243.8 C

<u><em>The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.</em></u>
