Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $COCl_2$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $COCl_2$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, chlorine has '7' valence electron and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $COCl_2$ = 1(4) + 2(7) + 1(6) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

How many grams are there in 7.4 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4?

bazaltina [42]

7.4x10^23 = molecules of silver nitrate sample

6.022x10^23 number of molecules per mole (Avogadro's number)

Divide molecules of AgNO3 by # of molecules per mol

7.4/6.022 = 1.229 mols AgNO3 (Sig Figs would put this at 1.3)

(I leave off the x10^23 because they both will divide out)

Use your periodic table to find the molar weight of silver nitrate.

107.868(Ag) + 14(N) + 3(16[O]) = 169.868g/mol AgNO3

Now multiply your moles of AgNO3 with your molar weight of AgNO3

1.229mol x 169.868g/mol = 208.767g AgNO3

Explain how a redox reacation involves electrons in the same way that a neutralization reaction involves protons

lidiya [134]

For the neutralization process: an acid acts as a donor and donates protons to the base. On the other hand, the base acts as an acceptor and accepts the transferred protons. In a nutshell, neutralization is mainly proton transfer process.

As for the redox process: the oxidized material usually transfers electrons to the reduced material. In a nutshell, redox is mainly electron transfer process.
