Answer:

The most important resonance structure is 4 (attached picture). Its bon order is \frac{7}{4} or 1\frac{3}{4}.

Explanation:

A picture with 4 forms of the perchlorate structure is attached. The first structure has simple bonds. The second structure contains a double bond, the third structure has two double bonds and the fourth structure has three double bonds.

Formal charge = group number of the periodic table - number of bonds (number of bonding electrons / 2) - number of non-shared electrons (lone pairs)

The formal charges in the first structure is +3 in chlorine and -1 in oxygen.

The formal charges in the second structure is +2 in chlorine, -1 in oxygen and 0 in the double bond oxygen.

The formal charges in the third structure is +1 in chlorine, -1 in the single bond oxygens and 0 in the double bond oxygens.

The formal charges in the fourth structure is 0 in chlorine, -1 in the single bond oxygen and 0 in the double bond oxygens.

The most important resonance structure is given by:

  • Most atoms have 0 formal charge.
  • Lowest magnitude of formal charges.
  • If there is a negative formal charge, it's on the most electronegative atom.

Hence, the fourth structure is the mosr important.

The bond order of the structure is:

Total number of bonds: 7

Total number of bond groups: 4

Bond order= \frac{7}{4} =1\frac{3}{4}

Decide which element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of cesium.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take a look at the attachment below

Explanation:

Take a look at the periodic table. As you can see, Rubidium is the closest element to Cesium, and happens to have the closest boiling point to Cesium, with only a difference of about 30 degrees.

Respectively, you would think that fluorine should have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, considering it is the farthest away from the element out of the 4 given. This is not an actual rule, there are no fixed trends of boiling points in the periodic table, there are some but overall the trends vary. However in this case fluorine does have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, a difference of about 1,546.6 degrees.

<em>Hope that helps!</em>

At 25 °C, how many dissociated OH– ions are there in 1243 mL of an aqueous solution whose pH is 2.07?
coldgirl [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of OH^- ions dissociated are 8.57\times 10^{11}

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

pH = 2.07

Calculating the value of pOH by using equation, we get:

2.07+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-2.07=11.93

To calculate hydroxide ion concentration, we use the equation to calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

We are given:

pOH = 11.93

Putting values in above equation, we get:

11.93=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=10^{-11.93}=1.17\times 10^{-12}M

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Molarity of solution = 1.17\times 10^{-12}M

Volume of solution = 1243 mL = 1.243 L  (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.17\times 10^{-12}M=\frac{\text{Moles of }OH^-}{1.243L}\\\\\text{Moles of }OH^-=(1.17\times 10^{-12}mol/L\times 1.243L)=1.424\times 10^{-12}mol

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles

So, 1.424\times 10^{-12}mol number of OH^- will contain = (1.424\times 10^{-12}\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=8.57\times 10^{11} number of ions

Hence, the number of OH^- ions dissociated are 8.57\times 10^{11}
