How do you know whether to use a lone pair or a double bond when drawing a Lewis dot structure?

Well that depends on the central atom. Remember each bond indicates another electron that is being shared with the central atom.
So CO4, carbon would be your central atom, with the 4 oxygen around it. There would be no double bonds because carbon only requires the 4 electrons provided by the oxygens, because of its location on the periodic table.
Nitrogen on the other hand is different. It's found in group 5 (5V) and has 5 valence electrons on its outer shell. So NO4 would have a central Nitrogen atom, with 3 oxygens providing a single bond, and one oxygen providing a double bond, because Nitrogen needs 5 electrons!
We learned it like this, the atom brought x amount of electrons to the party, x representing the valence electrons, and must leave with x electrons. It's silly but it works!
I hope I was able to help and clarify a few things up!

Answer:

b. 760 g

Explanation:

The mass of the solution = 800 g

5% of NaCl by mass of the solution can be determined as follows;

    5% of 800  =  \frac{5}{100} × 800

                       = 5 × 8

                       = 40 g

The mass of NaCl in the solution is 40 g.

The mass of water = mass of solution - mass of NaCl

                               = 800 - 40

                              = 760 g

Therefore, the mass of water required is 760 g.

Kc= [3.1*10^-2]^2. (mol/L^2) divide by [8.5*10^-1] [3.1*10^-3]^3 (mol/L)^4​
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Kc = 12.58

Explanation:

Kc = [0.229]^2*[0.687]^6/[0.221]^4*[0.5685]^3

Kc = (0.052441)(0.10513)/(0.002385)(0.18373)

Kc = 0.0005513/0.000438

Kc = 12.58

Hope that helps!!

Calculate ΔrG∘ at 298 K for the following reactions.CO(g)+H2O(g)→H2(g)+CO2(g)2-Predict the effect on ΔrG∘ of lowering the temper
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1) ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) ΔG°r will decrease with decreasing temperature

Explanation:

  • CO(g) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO2(g)

1) ΔG°r = ∑νiΔG°f,i

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = ΔG°CO2(g) + ΔG°H2(g) - ΔG°H2O(g) - ΔG°CO(g)

from literature, T = 298 K:

∴ ΔG°CO2(g) = - 394.359 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°CO(g) = - 137.152 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°H2(g) = 0 KJ/mol........pure substance

∴ ΔG°H2O(g) = - 228.588 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 394.359 KJ/mol + 0 KJ/mol - ( - 228.588 KJ/mol ) - ( - 137.152 KJ7mol )

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) K = e∧(-ΔG°/RT)

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol

∴ T = 298 K

⇒ K = e∧(-28.619/(8.314 E-3)(298) = 9.624 E-6

⇒ ΔG°r = - RTLnK

If T (↓) ⇒ ΔG°r (↓)

assuming T = 200 K

⇒ ΔG°r(200 K) = - (8.314 E-3)(200)Ln(9.624E-3)

⇒ ΔG°r (200K) = - 19.207 KJ/mol < ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

What is the vapor pressure of an aqueous solution that has a solute mole fraction of 0.1000? The vapor pressure of water is 25.7
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

χsolvent = 1.0000 - 0.1000 = 0.9000

Use Raoult's Law:

Psolution = (χsolvent) (P°solvent)

x = (0.900) (25.756)

x = 23.18 mmHg (to four sig figs)

guapka [62]

Answer:

Accuracy

Explanation:

It is important for scientists to review the work of other scientists, so they can be sure there are no mistakes or lack of judgement. They repeat to compare results to make hypotheses.
