MO Diagram of C₂⁻ is shown below,

Bond order is calculated as,

Bond Order = [# of e⁻s in BMO]-[#of e⁻s in ABMO] / 2
Where,

BMO = Bonding Molecular Orbital

ABMO = Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbital

Putting values,

Bond Order  =  [9]-[4] / 2

Bond Order  =  5 / 2

Bond Order  =  2.5

The bond order of C2− is 1/2 x [m of e- in bonding MO's - n of e- in antibonding MO's]

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

What is the bond order of C2−? express the bond order numerically?

The bond order is a measurement of the number of electrons involved in bonds between two atoms in a molecule. The higher the bond order, the stronger the chemical bond. bond order is equal to the number of bonds between two atoms.

In the case of C2 in a Covalent Bond between two atoms, a single bond has a bond order of one, a double bond has a bond order of two, a triple bond has a bond order of three, and so on

Bond order = 1/2 x [m of e- in bonding MO (Molecular Orbital)'s - n of e- in antibonding MO's]

Molecular orbital (MO) itself is a mathematical function describing the wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. Antibonding orbital is type of molecular orbital (MO) that weakens the chemical bond between two atoms, whereas bonding orbital is used in molecular orbital (MO) theory to describe the attractive interactions between the atomic orbitals of two or more atoms in a molecule.

Thus the bond order of C2^- is 1/2 x (9-4) = 2.5

The bond order of C2− is paramagnetic because it has an odd electron

The fermentation of glucose (C6H12O6) produces ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and CO2:

Jlenok [28]

To answer your question I will use dimensional analysis, which is used by cancelling out the units. I will also use the balanced equation provided as a conversion factor.

A) First start out with the 0.300 mol of C6H12O6...
0.300 mol C6H12O6 * (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 0.600 mol CO2

*The significant figures (sig figs) at still three, the 2 is a conversion counting number and does not count*

B) First change 2.00 g of C2H5OH to moles of C2H5OH...
The molecular mass of C2H5OH is...
2(12.01 g/mol) + 5(1.008 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 46.07 g/mol
This can be used as a conversion factor to change grams to moles.
2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) = 0.0434 mol C2H5OH

Second, you can change the moles of C2H5OH to moles of C6H12O6..
0.0434 mol C2H5OH * (1 mol C6H12O6 / 2 mol C6H12O6) = 0.0217 mol C6H12O6

Third, change moles of C6H12O6 to grams...
MM = 6(12.01 g/mol) + 12(1.008 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) = 180.16 g/mol
0.0217 mol C6H12O6 * (180.16 g C6H12O6 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 3.91 g C6H12O6

C) Now I am going to put it all into one long dimensional analysis problem.
MM of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
MM of C2H5OH = 46.07 g/mol

2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) * (2 mol CO2 / 2 mol C2H5OH) * (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 1.91 g CO2

I hope this helped and I am sorry that I talked to much, I just didn't want to miss anything!

There are four equal-sized bowls with equal amounts of milk. Bowl A is covered, and the milk is at room temperature. Bowl B is u

bogdanovich [222]

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by vapour molecules over a liquid surface.

The vapour pressure is a property

a) inter molecular forces: higher the inter molecular forces lower the vapour pressure, In this case we have taken same liquid (milk) hence in all case the inter molecular forces will be same.

b) Temperature: higher the temperature higher the kinetic energy of molecules and more the tendency of liquid molecules to convert to vapor phase.

The vapor pressure will be independent of the container being closes or open.

Thus vapor pressure will be high in Bowl B which is uncovered, and the milk is warmer than room temperature, as it has higher temperature than all other bowl of milk.

How do I find the rate of reaction on a graph

Nonamiya [84]

Rate of reaction can be understood as the rate of change of the materials, such as the rate of depletion of the reactants or the rate of production of products. Therefore, if a graph of concentration and time is plotted, the rate of reaction is simply the slope of the graph.

The atria beat prior to the ventricles. What purpose does this serve?

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The atria and ventricles work together, alternately contracting and relaxing to pump blood through your heart. The electrical system of your heart is the power source that makes this possible.

Your heartbeat is triggered by electrical impulses that travel down a special pathway through your heart:
