Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of SO_4^{2-}.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, SO_4^{2-}

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in SO_4^{2-} = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations
Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!

A 12.0% sucrose solution by mass has a density of 1.05 gem, what mass of sucrose is present in a 32.0-mL sample of this solution
natulia [17]

Answer:

Option C. 4.03 g

Explanation:

Firstly we analyse data.

12 % by mass, is a sort of concentration. It indicates that in 100 g of SOLUTION, we have 12 g of SOLUTE.

Density is the data that indicates grams of solution in volume of solution.

We need to determine, the volume of solution for the concentration

Density = mass / volume

1.05 g/mL = 100 g / volume

Volume =  100 g / 1.05 g/mL → 95.24 mL

Therefore our 12 g of solute are contained in 95.24 mL

Let's finish this by a rule of three.

95.24 mL contain 12 g of sucrose

Our sample of 32 mL may contain ( 32 . 12) / 95.24 = 4.03 g

Gaseous ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen O2 gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of ox
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer : The number of moles of oxygen needed are, 1.5 moles.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O

Now we have to calculate the moles of oxygen.

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 6 moles of water vapor produces from 5 moles of oxygen

So, 1.80 moles of water vapor produces from \frac{5}{6}\times 1.80=1.5 moles of oxygen

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen needed are, 1.5 moles.
