Which situation would violate the octet rule?

Chemistry

jolli1 [7]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

According to octet rule there should be 8 electrons in the atom's subshell/valence shell. Giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

among the options:

c) option is correct, as 5 bonds to carbon is violating the octet Rule, 5 bonds means 10 electrons exceeding the noble gas configuration and violets the octet rule.

All the other options are are incorrect, they are following

octet rule. Three bonds of carbon is possible in the case of carbocation.

A sample of CaCO3 (molar mass 100. g) was reported as being 30. percent Ca. Assuming no calcium was present in any impurities, c

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Approximately 75%.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of Ca on a modern periodic table:

Ca: 40.078.

There are one mole of Ca atoms in each mole of CaCO₃ formula unit.

The mass of one mole of CaCO₃ is the same as the molar mass of this compound: $\rm 100\; g$ .
The mass of one mole of Ca atoms is (numerically) the same as the relative atomic mass of this element: $\rm 40.078\; g$ .

Calculate the mass ratio of Ca in a pure sample of CaCO₃:

$\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)} = \frac{40.078}{100} \approx \frac{2}{5}$ .

Let the mass of the sample be 100 g. This sample of CaCO₃ contains 30% Ca by mass. In that 100 grams of this sample, there would be $\rm 30 \% \times 100\; g = 30\; g$ of Ca atoms. Assuming that the impurity does not contain any Ca. In other words, all these Ca atoms belong to CaCO₃. Apply the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)} \approx \frac{2}{5}$ :

$\begin{aligned} m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right) &= m(\mathrm{Ca})\left/\frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)}\right. \cr &\approx 30\; \rm g \left/ \frac{2}{5}\right. \cr &= 75\; \rm g \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, by these assumptions, 100 grams of this sample would contain 75 grams of CaCO₃. The percentage mass of CaCO₃ in this sample would thus be equal to:

$\displaystyle 100\%\times \frac{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)}{m(\text{sample})} = \frac{75}{100} = 75\%$ .
