The lewis dot structure for H2CF2 would be in box form with the carbon bonded to the 2 Hydrogens and 2 Fluorines.

Answer: Both H and F atoms are bonded to the central carbon atom with single bonds and it's in a box form.

Explanation: Carbon has four valence electrons, H has one valence electron and F has seven valence electrons. All elements try to complete their nearest noble gas like electron configuration.

Nearest noble gas to H is He and so it wants to complete two valence electrons. Rest of the elements try to complete eight electrons in their valence shell.

As H has one valence electron, it forms a single covalent bond to complete two electrons in its valence shell.

F has seven valence electrons and it needs one more to complete eight electrons in its valence shell and so it also makes a single covalent bond.

Carbon has four valence electrons and it needs four more electrons to complete eight electrons to its valence shell.

So, in Lewis dot structure of H_2CF_2 the carbon atom is the central atom and two H and two F atoms are bonded to it with single covalent bonds.

The molecular geometry of the molecule is tetrahedral(in box form).

Lewis structure of the molecule is attached.

State briefly the similarities and differences between the theories of Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry
ludmilkaskok [199]
My answer to the question above is not the best example but I hope it will help you. <span>The Arrhenius model says that acids always contain H+ and that bases always contain OH-. </span>
<span>The Bronsted-Lowry model thinks of acids as being proton donors and proton acceptors, so bases no longer need to contain OH-, and acids donate a proton to water forming H3O+. </span>
<span>Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, and Lewis bases are electron pair donors. For instance, H+ + OH- => H20. H+ has no electrons, so when it bonds to the Oxygen, it gains an electron pair. OH- "loses" an electron pair.</span>

A 90 lb person is prescribed a drug in the amount of 50mg/kg body per day to be delivered in 2 doses per day. Each tablet contai
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

4 tabletes/dose

Explanation:

mass person = (90 Lb)×(Kg/2.20462 Lb) = 40.823 Kg body

amount of medicine = 50 mg/Kg body.day

frecuency = 2 dose/day

⇒ amount of medicine/day =  (50 mg/kg body.day)×(40.823 Kg body) = 2041.168 mg/day

⇒ mg medicine/dose = (20141.168 mg/day)×(day/ 2 dose) = 1020.584 mg medicine/dose

∴ mg medicine/tablet = 250 mg medicine/tablet

⇒ # tabletes/dose = (1020.584 mg medicine/dose)×(tablet/250 mg medicine) = 4.082 tabletes/dose

⇒ # tabletes/dose ≅ 4 tabletes/dose

Gas y effuses half as fast as o2. what is the molar mass of gas y?
devlian [24]
To solve this question, we will use Graham's law which states that:
(R1 / R2) ^ 2 = M2 / M1 where
R1 and R2 are the rates of effusion and M1 and M2 are the molar masses of the two gases.
From the periodic table, we can calculate the molar mass of O2 as follows:
molar mass of O2 = 2*16 = 32 grams

Therefore we have:
R1 / R2 = Ry / RO2 = 1/2
M1 is My we want to get
M2 is molar mass of O2 = 32 grams
Substitute in the above equation to get the molar mass of y as follows:
(1/2) ^2 = (32/My)
1/4 = 32/My
My = 32*4 = 128

Therefore, molar mass of gas y = 128 grams

In the Energy and Specific Heat lab, what temperature should be recorded as the final temperature of the water when measuring th
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.

Explanation:

Heat or thermal energy is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference between the objects. The units for heat are joules or calories.

Calorimetry is the measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical  reaction. A calorimeter is used in calorimetry. The calorimeter operates on the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is never created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to another or between objects.

In food calorimetry, the energy released when food is burned is measured by recording the rise in temperature of water in a calorimeter when a given mass of a food sample is burned completely.

Energy can be calculated using the formula: Q = mc ∆T

where Q = the energy in joules or calories, m = the mass in grams, c = specific heat and ∆T = the change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature).

The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely is taken as the final temperature of the water. The sample is allowed to smolder for sometime before recording the final  water temperature. This is because the water temperature will continue to rise after the  flame has gone out.
