Why does sulfur have more than 8 electrons in its valence?

1 answer:

3 0

The octet rules says that an atom can only have a maximum of 8 electrons in its valence shell. This applies from non-metals to metalloids to metals. In this case, sulfur can have <span>more than 8 electrons in its valence when it acquires a larger state specifically in an ionic state. For example SO4 2- where the 2- adds to the number of valence electrons</span>

Solid ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, is formed by the reaction of gaseous ammonia, NH3, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. NH3(g)+HCl(g)⟶NH4

Mashutka [201]

9.41 atm is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask

<h3>What is the pressure in atmospheres?</h3>

The equation NH3(g) + HCl(g) ==> NH4Cl(s) is balanced.

Divide the moles of each reactant by its coefficient in the balanced equation, and the limiting reagent is identified as the one whose value is less. With the issue we now have...

6.44 g NH3 times 1 mol NH3/17 g equals 0.3688 moles of NH3 ( 1 = 0.3688)

HCl: 6.44 g of HCl times one mole of HCl every 36.5 g equals 0.1764 moles ( 1 = 0.1764). CONTROLLING REAGENT

NH4Cl will this reaction produce in grams

0.1764 moles of HCl multiplied by one mole of NH4Cl per mole of HCl results in 9.44 g of NH4Cl (3 sig. figs.)

the gas pressure, measured in atmospheres, that is still in the flask

NH3(g) plus HCl(g) results in NH4Cl (s)

0.3688......0.1764............0..........

Initial

-0.1764....-0.1764........+0.1764...Change

Equilibrium: 0.1924.......0...............+0.1924

There are 0.1924 moles of NH3 and no other gases in the flask. This is at a temperature of 25 °C (+273 = 298 °K) in a volume of 0.5 L. After that, we may determine the pressure by using the ideal gas law (P).

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V = 0.1924 mol, 0.0821 latm/mol, and 298 Kmol / 0.5 L

P = 9.41 atm

9.41 atm is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask

Given that a theoretical yield for isolating Calcium Carbonate in this experiment would be 100%. From that information and based

Stels [109]

Answer:

It's well Explained below.

Explanation:

First of Excess product of CaCO_3 would be produced due to the fact that there would not be enough CaCl_2 to react with Na_2•CO_3. The main purpose of having stoichiometric quantities is for us to know the correct amount or near the correct amount of each reactant in order to create a product that will be close to the theoretical amount and thus have a higher percent yield.

Use MO diagrams to place B2+, B2, and B2- in order of (a) decreasing bond energy; (b) decreasing bond length.

shepuryov [24]

We use the MO diagram for a homonuclear diatomic species (since C and N are neighbours, we treat them as the "same").

The first two electrons contribute to bonding. The next two are anti-bonding.

The next six contribute to bonding, and the following six are anti-bonding.

So, if we start with CN+, which has 4+5-1 (8) valence electrons, we note that the first two electrons contribute to bonding, while the next two cancel this out; the next four contribute to bonding, so the bond order is 4/2 = 2.

If we add one more electron to get CN, there are now 5 bonding electrons, giving bond order 5/2=2.5.

Adding one more to give CN- would give the bond order 6/2 = 3. (If we added more electrons, each one would lower the bond order.)

Given a series of molecules with identical skeletal structures, the one with the highest bond order has the highest bond energy:

CN+ < CN < CN-

Lewis structures will verify that CN- has a triple bond, but they do not work particularly well for CN+ and CN.

Wich tools are appropriate to determine the densety of an irregular-shaped object ?

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The most accurate way to determine an object's volume, especially in the case of an irregularly shaped object, is to immerse it in water and measure the amount of water it displaces. A graduated cylinder large enough to hold both the object and enough water to fully immerse it is the best tool for this job.
