Why does the correct lewis structure of Co2 involve a double bond between each of the oxygen atoms and the carbon atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
kiruha [24]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because both carbon and oxygen are demanded to obey the octet's rule.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, recalling the Lewis dot structure of CO₂ which is basically:

O:=:C:=:O

We know oxygen has six valance electron whereas carbon four valence electrons, it means that oxygen needs two electrons in order to attain eight electrons and carbon needs four electrons for the same purpose. In such a way, as carbon dioxide contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms we infer that each oxygen is providing two electrons for a total of four to allow the carbon obey the octet as well as oxygen and this is attained via two double bonds.

Best regards.

An automobile antifreeze mixture is made by mixing equal volumes of ethylene glycol (d = 1.114 g/ml; = 62.07 g/mol) and water (d
tankabanditka [31]
a) Volume percent

Formula: % v/v = [volume solute / volume solution] * 100

Just to make it easy take a base of 50 volume parts of ethylen glycol and 50 volume parts of water to make 100 volumes of mixture (this assumpion will be valid for all the questions):

% v/v =[ 50 ml ethyleneglycol] / [100 ml mixture] * 100 = 50%

Answer: 50% v/v

b) Mass percent

% m/m = [mass ethylene glycol / mass solution] * 100

mass ethylene glycol = 50 ml * 1.114 g/ ml = 55.7 g

mass of mixture = 100 ml * 1.07 g/ml = 107 g

% m/m = [55.7 / 107 g] * 100 = 52.06 %

Answer: 52.06%

c) Molarity

M = number of moles of solute / liters of solution

number of moles of solute = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles of ehtylene glycol = 55.7 g / 62.07 g/mol = 0.8974 mol

liters of solution = 0.1 liter

M = 0.8974 mol / 0.1 liter = 8.974 M

Answer: 8.974 M

d) Molality

m = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

number of moles of ethylen glycol = 0.8974 mol

mass of water = 50 ml * 1 g/ml = 50 g = 0.05 kg

m = 0.8974 mol / 0.05 kg = 17.95 m

Answer: 17.95 m

e) mole fraction

mole fraction = [number of moles of solute] / [number of moles of mixture] * 100

number of moles of ethylen glycol = 0.8974 mol

number of moles of water = 50 g / 18.01 g /mol = 2.776 mol

mole fraction = 0.8974 mol / [0.8974 mol + 2.776 mol] = 0.244

Answer: 0.244

Please help I’m torn between A and B. I’ve asked many and people say A, but I asked my science teacher and she said B. And also
astraxan [27]
If your science teacher says B, it’s probably because water has a negative and positive end, heat is just a form of energy, as other atoms can’t leave (they’re attracted to the ends) they are being insulated; but notice that ice will melt into gas (where atoms have tons of space) for other atoms to escape. Hence ice and gas aren’t ideal. (Air is a gas here.)
It’s not a 100% but hopefully it helps with some kind of analogy.
