Answer : The resonance structure of is shown below.
Explanation :
Resonance structure : It is defined as when more than one Lewis structure can be drawn, the molecule or ion is said to have resonance.
Resonance is the concept where electrons (bonds) are delocalized over three or more atoms which cannot be depicted with one simple Lewis structure.
First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure.
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,
As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, carbon has '6' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electron.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 7 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.
In SCN, carbon atom is the central atom and sulfur and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.
The resonance structure of is shown below.
Answer: The value of for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.
Explanation:
Equation for solubility equilibrium is as follows.
Its solubility product will be as follows.
Cell reaction for this equation is as follows.
Reduction half-reaction: ,
Oxidation half-reaction: , = ?
Cell reaction:
So, for this cell reaction the number of moles of electrons transferred are n = 1.
Solubility product,
=
Therefore, according to the Nernst equation
At equilibrium, = 0.00 V
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
=
= 0.577 V
Hence, we will calculate the standard cell potential as follows.
= 0.222 V
Thus, we can conclude that value of for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.
