How important is the resonance structure shown here to the overall structure of carbon dioxide?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
6 0

1. Resonance structures are a better description of a Lewis dot structure .

2. Best resonance structure is the one with the least formal charge.


<u>EXPLAINATION OF RASONANCE STRUCTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE</u>

1.Carbon dioxide has three resonance structures .

2. The CO2 molecule has a total of 16 valence electrons ,

  1C = 4 electrons

  2O= 12 electrons

<u>three resonance structures for  CO2</u>

1. The atoms in all three resonance structures have full octets;

 structure 1 will be more stable because it has no separation of charge.

2. Structures 2 and 3 show charge separation caused by the presence of formal charges on both oxygen atoms.

Use the particle theory to describe each of the three states of matter.
Anna007 [38]
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

What is the molarity of a solution that is made by mixing 35.5 g of Ba(OH)2 in 325 ml of solution?
choli [55]

Answer:

M=0.638M

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is calculated by diving the moles of solute by the volume of solution in liters, we first compute the moles of barium hydroxide in 35.5 g as shown below:

n=35.5g Ba(OH)_2*\frac{1molBa(OH)_2}{171.34gBa(OH)_2}\\\\n=0.207mol

Then, the liters of solution:

V=325mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} =0.325L

Finally, the molarity turns out:

M=\frac{0.207mol}{0.325L}\\\\M=0.638M

Best regards!

A compound is formed when 171.2 g of carbon reacts with 28.8 g of hydrogen. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound
IgorLugansk [536]
Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:

mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%
