Atomic Number of Lithium is 3, so it has 3 electrons in its neutral state. Also, Li₂ will have 6 electrons. But the chemical formula we are given has a negative charge on it (i.e Li₂⁻) so there is an additional electron (RED) present on this compound. So, the total number of electrons are 7. The MOT diagram for this compound is shown below. According to diagram we are having 4 electrons in Bonding Molecular Orbitals (BMO) and 3 electrons in Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals (ABMO). Bond Order is calculated as,

Bond Order = (# of e⁻s in BMO - # of e⁻s in ABMO) ÷ 2

Bond Order = (4 - 3) ÷ 2

Bond Order = 1 ÷ 2
Or,
Bond Order = 1/2
Or,
Bond Order = 0.5

A same of gas in a rigid container is at 25.0Cand 1.00atm. What is the pressure of the sample when heated to 220.0C

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1.654 atm.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:

(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁)

Knowing that:

P₁ = 1.0 atm, T₁ = 25°C + 273 = 298 K,

P₂ = ??? atm, T₂ = 220°C + 273 = 493 K,

Applying in the above equation

(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁)

∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(T₁) = (1.0 atm)(493 K)/(298 K) = 1.654 atm.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

0.257 L

Explanation:

The values missing in the question has been assumed with common sense so that the concept could be applied

Initial volume of the AICI3 solution $=23.1 \mathrm{mL}$

Initial Molarity of the solution $=833 \mathrm{mM}$

Final molarity of the solution $=75.0 \mathrm{mM}$

Final volume of the solution $=?$

From Law of Dilution, $M_{f} V_{f}=M_{i} V_{i}$

$\Rightarrow V_{f}=\frac{M_{i} V_{i}}{M_{f}}=\frac{833 \mathrm{mM} \times 23.1 \mathrm{mL}}{75.0 \mathrm{mM}}=256.564 \mathrm{mL}=0.256564 \mathrm{L}=0.257 L$

Final Volume of the solution $=0.257$
