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

What mass of Ba3(PO4)2 is contained in 1575 mL of a 0.35 M solution of Ba3(PO4)2?
irina [24]

Answer:

= 331.81 g

Explanation:

Molarity is calculated by the formula;

Molarity = Moles/volume in liters

Therefore;

Moles = Molarity ×Volume in liters

          = 0.35 M × 1.575 L

          = 0.55125 Moles

But; Molar mass of Ba3(PO4)2 is 601.93 g/mol

Thus;

Mass = 0.55125 moles × 601.93 g/mol

         <u>= 331.81 g</u>
