There are 10 hydrogen atoms that bind and there are 2 pairs of free electrons in the non-binding O atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Aldehydes are alkane-derived compounds containing carbonyl groups (-CO-) where one bond binds to an alkyl group while another binds to a hydrogen atom.

The general structure is R-CHO with the molecular formula :

\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{C_nH_{2n}O}}}

Naming is generally the same as the alkane by replacing the suffix with -al

Butanal or butyraldehyde is an aldehyde which has 4 C atoms

Inside the structure there are 3 atoms involved in bonding:

  • 1. Atom C with 4 valence electrons, requires 4 electrons to reach the octet
  • 2. Atom O with 6 valence electrons, requires 2 electrons to reach the octet
  • 3. Atom H with 1 valence electron, requires 1 electron to reach a duplet

In describing Lewis's structure the steps that can be taken are:

  •  1. Count the number of valence electrons from atoms in a molecule
  • 2. Give each bond a pair of electrons
  • 3. The remaining electrons are given to the atomic terminal so that an octet is reached
  • 4. The remaining electrons that still exist in the central atom
  • 5. If the central atom is not yet octet, free electrons are drawn to the central atom to form double bonds

In the Butanal structure (C₄H₈O) there is 1 double bond of the functional group (-CHO) between the C atom and the O atom

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 40.0 mL of water at 17.0°C. The water reaches a temperatur
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 502 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{40.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 40.0mL)=40.0g

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by lead will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

q=m\times c\times \Delta T

q = heat absorbed by water

m = mass of water = 40.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 20.0°C

T_{initial = initial temperature of water = 17.0°C

c = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q=40.0\times 4.186\times (20.0-17.0)]

q=502J

Hence, the joules of heat were re-leased by the lead is 502
