See the sketch attached.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Lewis structure of a molecule describes

  • the number of bonds it has,
  • the source of electrons in each bond, and
  • the position of any lone pairs of electrons.

Atoms are most stable when they have eight or no electrons in their valence shell (or two, in case of hydrogen.)

  • Each oxygen atom contains six valence electrons. It demands <em>two</em> extra electrons to be chemically stable.
  • Each sulfur atom contains six valence electrons. It demands <em>two </em> extra electrons to be chemically stable.
  • Each hydrogen atom demands <em>one</em> extra electron to be stable.

H₂O contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It would take an extra 2 + 2  × 1 = 4 electrons for all its three atoms are stable. Atoms in an H₂O would achieve that need by sharing electrons. It would form a total of 4 / 2 = 2 O-H bonds.

Each O-H bond contains one electron from oxygen and one from hydrogen. Hydrogen has no electron left. Oxygen has six electrons. Two of them have went to the two O-H bonds. The remaining four become 4 / 2 = 2 lone pairs. The lone pairs repel the O-H bonds. By convention, they are placed on top of the two H atoms.

Similarly, atoms in a SO₂ molecule demands an extra 2 × 2 + 2 = 6 electrons for its three atoms to become chemically stable. It would form 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds. Loops are unlikely in molecules without carbon. As a result, one of the two O atoms would form two bonds with the S atom while the other form only one.

Atoms are unstable with an odd number of valence electrons. The S atom in SO₂ would have become unstable if it contribute one electron to each of the three bond. It would end up with 3 × 2 + 3 = 9 valence electrons. One possible solution is that it contributes two electrons in one particular bond. One of the three bonds would be a coordinate covalent bond, with both electrons in that bond from the S atom. In some textbooks this type of bonds are also known as dative bonds.

Dots and crosses denotes the origin of electrons in a bond. Use the same symbol for electrons from the same atom. Electrons from the oxygen atoms O are shown in blue in the sketch. They don't have to be colored.

A mixture of two compounds, A and B, was separated by extraction. After the compounds were dried, their masses were found to be:
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The percent recovery from re crystallization for both compounds A and B is 69.745 and 81.44 % respectively.

Explanation:

Mass of compound A in a mixture  = 119 mg

Mass of compound A after re-crystallization = 83 mg

Percent recovery from re-crystallization :

\frac{\text{Mass after re-crystallization}}{\text{Mass before re-crystallization}}\times 100

Percent recovery of compound A:

\frac{83 mg}{119 mg}\times 100=69.74\%

Mass of compound B in a mixture  = 97 mg

Mass of compound B after re-crystallization = 79 mg

Percent recovery of compound B:

\frac{79 mg}{97 mg}\times 100=81.44\%

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a)  After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise due to the reaction of 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial. b) 4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O ⇒ 16H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7} c) No H_{2} was not the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Generally, hydrogenation is the chemical reaction between a compound or element and molecular hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as platinum.

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise 1-Decene solution was added due to the reaction between 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial.

b)  4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O ⇒ 16H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}

c) H_{2} was not the limiting reactant based on the mol to mol ratio of H_{2} and decane which is 1:1. Therefore, if 0.8 mol of decane was produced then 0.8 mol of H_{2} would also be produced.

If 2 objects have the same volume, but one has more mass than the other, are the densities the same or different? Explain
laiz [17]

The one with higher mass has a higher density because it fits more mass into the same amount of space (volume).
