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

Is mud a suspension, solution, or colloid?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Mud is a suspension because it is a heterogeneous mixture that has many solid particles that have sedimented in various parts of the mixture, meaning they can be easily seen or removed. A solution is homogeneous like putting sugar in water or similar.

3. Which one is part of the kinetic molecular theory? Yes = part of KMT, No = not part
lidiya [134]

Explanation:

a. Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to absolute Kelvin temperature of a gas.

Yes

b. There are no attractive forces and repulsive forces between gas molecules.

Yes

C. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed by ordinary chemical reactions.

No

d. The volume occupied by all of the gas molecules in a container is negligible compared to  the volume of the container

Yes

The kinetic molecular theory is one of such theories used to explain the forces between molecules and the energy they posses.

According to the theory;

  • The temperature of gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy.
  • Molecules are independent of one another and the force of attraction and repulsion between them is negligible.
  • volume occupied by gases is negligible compared to the volume of the container.

Law of conservation of matter states that "atoms are neither created nor destroyed by ordinary chemical reactions".

A chemist dissolves of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The t
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

12.99

Explanation:

<em>A chemist dissolves 716. mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 130. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.) Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of KOH: 716. mg (0.716 g)
  • Volume of the solution: 130. mL (0.130 L)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.716 g of KOH

The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

0.716 g × 1 mol/56.11 g = 0.0128 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KOH

[KOH] = 0.0128 mol/0.130 L = 0.0985 M

Step 4: Write the ionization reaction of KOH

KOH(aq) ⇒ K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The molar ratio of KOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Then, [OH⁻] = 0.0985 M

Step 5: Calculate the pOH

We will use the following expression.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.0985 = 1.01

Step 6: Calculate the pH

We will use the following expression.

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -1.01 = 12.99

How many moles of carbon dioxide gas should be produced when 10.0 g of C2H6 are combusted at STP?
Finger [1]

Answer:

                    0.665 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for the combustion of Ethane is as follow:

                            2 C₂H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Step 1: <u>Calculate moles of C₂H₆ as;</u>

                              Moles  =  Mass  /  M.Mass

Putting values,

                              Moles  =  10.0 g / 30.07 g/mol

                              Moles  =  0.3325 moles

Step 2: <u>Calculate Moles of CO₂ as;</u>

According to balance chemical equation,

                    2 moles of C₂H₆ produced  =  4 moles of CO₂

So,

             0.3325 moles of C₂H₆ will produce  =  X moles of CO₂

Solving for X,

                      X  =  0.3325 mol × 4 mol ÷ 2 mol

                      X = 0.665 moles of CO₂
