Write the Lewis structure for the following H20 So2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Find the work done using data from the PV plot for an isothermal system.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

W = - 500 KJ

∴ the work is done on the system

Explanation:

isothermal system:

∴ ΔU = 0; ⇒ Q = W

∴ W = P1V1 -P2V2

⇒ W = ((100KPa)*(25m³)) - ((300KPa)*(10m³))

⇒ W = 2500KPa.m³ - 3000KPa,m³

⇒ W = - 500 KPa.m³ = - 500 KJ

∴ W (-) the work is done on the system

When you combine chocolate powder and milk, the result is best describe as?
NeX [460]
Answer:

The answer to your question would be substance, but chocolate power mixed into milk would be more of a suspension.

Explanation:

Neither chocolate powder nor milk are elements. They are both complex molecules. Their mixture will not result in the formation of a compound since no chemical reaction will take place.

The molecules of the chocolate powder will simply intermingle with the fatty molecules of the milk to form the substance.

When thoroughly mixed the solution will become homogeneous so there will be no lumps of chocolate power visible. But after time, the chocolate will become visible at the bottom of the clear container in which we asked you to prepare the mixture.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

For a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k, calculate the inner diameter if you are designing for
bonufazy [111]

The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m

<h3>What is Stack Height ?</h3>

Stack height means the distance from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack to the crown of the stack.

If a stack arises from a building or other structure, the ground-level elevation of that building or structure will be used as the base elevation of the stack.

Given is a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 cu.m/min of gases

P= 1 atm and

T= 400 K

maximum expected wind speed at stack height of 12 m/s

The formula for the diameter of chimney

\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4Q}{\pi v} }

Q =1200 cu.m/min

= 1200 * 0.0166 = 19.92 cu.m/sec

Velocity = 12m/s

\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 19.92}{3.14*12} }\\

d= 1.45 m

Therefore The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m.

What can you do to make the chicken egg float in the water?Explain your answer.(Science)​
Goryan [66]

Denser salt water makes the eggs to float in the water.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Egg will always sink in water, as egg is denser than water.

But we can make it to float by means of adding excess salt to the water. Adding more salt to water makes it as denser than egg. Denser water makes less dense egg to float in water.

So, making the water as denser one leads to the floating of egg in the water.

sergey [27]

Answer:

occur if two of the ions form an insoluble ionic compound, which precipitates out of solution

Explanation:

When two ionic compounds are dissolved in water, a double replacement reaction takes place if two of the ions form an insoluble ionic compound, which precipitates out of solution. In double displacement reaction ions switch partners. And hence, produce an insoluble precipitate.
