A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the

right side of Mg. Cl has seven dots around it. An arrow is shown from one dot on Mg toward the vacant space around Cl. Another arrow is shown from the other dot on Mg toward the vacant space around Cl. On the top, the art title is written as Students Lewis Dot Model. What is the error in the Lewis dot diagram?

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. A measure of how quickly velocity is changing is the acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. The rate at which a body is changing its velocity is known as the acceleration.

It is measured in the unit m/s²

2. Speed in a given direction is the velocity

Velocity is a vector quantity which measures the magnitude of motion in a specific direction. It is simply speed in a given direction.

When we say a motorcycle travels at the rate of 5m/s due east, we are describing the velocity of such body.

3. Force that resists moving one object against another is the friction

Friction is a force that opposes motion. It prevents a body from moving.

4. Measure of the pull of gravity on an object Weight

Weight is a measure of the amount of gravitational force on a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

         W = mg

W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity

5 Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is inertia

Inertia is the tendency of body to resist change in motion. It is the ability of a body to remain in a perpetual state of rest.

6 Size is the magnitude

Is Carbon combustible? Why or why not?
valkas [14]
Carbon is not combustible because when it combines with oxygen its energy increases thus it doesnt combust.

Consider a solution that is 0.05 M HCl. Your goal is to neutralize 1 L of this solution (i.e. bring the pH to 7). You also have
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The volume of NaOH required is - 0.01 L

Explanation:

At equivalence point ,

Moles of HCl = Moles of NaOH

Considering :-

Molarity_{HCl}\times Volume_{HCl}=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}

Given  that:

Molarity_{NaOH}=5\ M

Volume_{NaOH}=?\ L

Volume_{HCl}=1\ L

Molarity_{HCl}=0.05\ M

So,  

Molarity_{HCl}\times Volume_{HCl}=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}

0.05\times 1=5\times Volume_{NaOH}

Volume_{NaOH}=\frac{0.05\times 1}{5}=0.01\ L

<u>The volume of NaOH required is - 0.01 L</u>

What is the mass, in pounds, of 389 mL of a gas that has a density of 1.29 g/L?
devlian [24]

Answer: Mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of gas = ?

Density of gas = 1.29g/L

Volume of gas = 389 ml = 0.389 L     (1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

1.29g/L=\frac{mass}{0.389L}

mass=0.5grams  

mass=0.5\times 0.002lb=0.001lb       (1g =0.002 lb)

Thus the mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.
