How do you calculate bonding capacity in chemistry?

Chemistry

Anna [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

bonding capacity is based on the oxidation number. the pattern throughout families 1-2 and 13-18 is 12343210. depending on wether the elements in a family lose or gain 1-4 valence electrons is what determines the bonding capacity. for example, the elements in family one, or the Alkali family elements, lose one valence electron to become stable. this means the next outer shell has 8 valence electrons and is therefore stable. family two elements lose 2 valence electrons in order to have 8 on the outer shell. family thirteen elements lose 3 valence electrons. family fourteen can either lose or gain their four valence electrons as long as they end up with an outer shell with 8 valence electrons. family fifteen gains 3 valence electrons, 16 gains two, and 17 gains 1. family 18 doesn't lose or gain any since it is already stable. if an element loses valence electrons its oxidation number will be a positive 1,2,3, or 4. if an element gains valence electrons its oxication number will be a negative 1,2,3, or 4. the pattern of oxidation numbers is the same as the bonding capacity and it is +1,+2,+3,+4/-4,-3,-2,-1 or 0. basically if you can find the oxidation number then you can find the bonding capacity

A 28-kg child can consume a maximum of 23 children's acetaminophen tablets in an 8-h period without exceeding the safety-limit m
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

(b)90mg/lb

Explanation:

The child can consume a maximum of 23 tablets with 80mg of acetaminophen, the total acetaminophen ingest is:

23*80=1840mg

This value is for 8 hours, 8 hours is 1/3 of one day. This means that the dose that can be consumed in 24 hours is 3 times 1840mg.

1840*3=5520mg

To obtain the maximum allowable dose in mg per pound of body weight, divide this last value by the weight of the child in pounds.

Conversion of units: 28Kg(\frac{2.20lb}{1Kg} )=61.6lb

\frac{5520}{61.6} =89.61\approx90mg/lb

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of solid iron with aqueous copper sulfate?
lozanna [386]
This is a single replacement reaction. So the final products are a metal and a salt with replaced cation. In this case, the final products are copper (metal) and iron sulfate (salt).

How do the properties of elements in the same column of the periodic table compare
Alik [6]
The columns of the periodic table, also referred to as "groups" contain elements with similar reactive properties, due to these elements having a similar configuration of electrons in their outer shell.

Solution with a ph of 3 has how many times more h+ ions than one with a ph of 4? 5?
Lerok [7]
Solution with a pH of 3 has 10⁻³ moles of H⁺, solution with a pH of 4 has 10⁻⁴ moles of H⁺ and solution with a pH of 5 has 10⁻⁵ moles of H⁺ (in dm³) so the solution with a pH of 3 has 10 times more H⁺ ions than the solution with a pH of 4 and 100 times more H⁺ ions than the solution with a pH of 5.
