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.

Consider the following reaction mechanism: Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 ↔ (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast) Step 2: (CH3)3Au → C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)
netineya [11]

Answer: The balanced equation for overall reaction is:

(CH3)3AuPH3 ----> C2H6 + (CH3)AuPH3

Explanation:

The reaction mechanism is given as follows:

Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 ↔ (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast)

Step 2: (CH3)3Au → C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)

Step 3: (CH3)Au + PH3 → (CH3)AuPH3 (fast)

To balance this equation, firstly, we conduct proper atom count for each steps of the reaction mechanism.

It is important to note that for a reaction that involves several steps, the rate law is normally derived from the slow step ( which is step2 from the above mechanism).

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation for the overall reaction is:

(CH3)3AuPH3 ----> C2H6 + (CH3)AuPH3
