Answer: A molecule of $ClO_3^-$ has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

Explanation:

Lewis-dot structure is defined as the structure which represents the number of valence electrons around the atoms. The electrons are represented as dots.

This structure helps in the determination of bonding electrons and non-bonding electrons.

For the given compound $ClO_3^-$

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron. The negative charge gets add up in the total number of valence electrons.

Total number of valence electrons in $ClO_3^-$ = 7 + 3(6) + 1 = 26

In $ClO_3^-$ , two electrons of 2 oxygen atoms combine with 2 electrons of chlorine and 1 electron of one oxygen atom combines with 1 electron of chlorine atom.

A lone pair remains on the central atom which is chlorine.

Hence, a molecule of $ClO_3^-$ has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

What's the structure of Cl2O? Is it polar or non-polar?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: C) Bent or angular, polar
Explanation:
The central atom oxygen has two lone pairs and two bond pairs in . The number of electron pairs are 4, that means the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral. But as there are two lone pair of atoms around the central oxygen atom, repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent shape.
The compound is polar as the net dipole moment of oxygen - fluoride bonds do not cancel each other out.

If a temperature increase from 21.0 ∘c to 35.0 ∘c triples the rate constant for a reaction, what is the value of the activation

Airida [17]

Answer:

59.077 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

From Arrhenius law: K = Ae(-Ea/RT)

where, K is the rate constant of the reaction.

A is the Arrhenius factor.

Ea is the activation energy.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature.

At different temperatures:

ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R [(T₂-T₁)/(T₁T₂)]

k₂ = 3k₁ , Ea = ??? J/mol, R = 8.314 J/mol.K, T₁ = 294.0 K, T₂ = 308.0 K.

ln(3k₁/k₁) = (Ea / 8.314 J/mol.K) [(308.0 K - 294.0 K) / (294.0 K x 308.0 K)]

∴ ln(3) = 1.859 x 10⁻⁵ Ea

∴ Ea = ln(3) / (1.859 x 10⁻⁵) = 59.077 kJ/mol.
