Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons of oxygen = 6

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1

The total number of the valence electrons = 6 + 2(1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete.

In the water molecule,

<u>Oxygen has 2 bond pairs and two lone pairs which means that the total electrons in the valence shell is 8.</u>

A reaction has activation energy of 85kjper mol. What is the effect on the rate of raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 d

DENIUS [597]

Answer: The rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

$ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]$

where $k_2$ = rate constant at temp $T_2$

$k_1$ = rate constant at temp $T_1$

$E_a$ = activation energy

R= gas constant

$T_1$ = temperature = $20^0C=(20+273)K=293K$

$T_2$ = temperature = $30^0C=(30+273)K=303K$

$ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-85\times 1000J/mol}{8.314J/Kmol}[\frac{1}{303} - \frac{1}{293}]$

$ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=1.15$

$\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=3$

Thus rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree

Of the following substances, ________ has the highest boiling point. Of the following substances, ________ has the highest boili

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Of the following substances, <u>PCl₃</u> has the highest boiling point

Explanation:

The given substances and their boiling point from online resources are;

Krypton, Kr, boiling point = -153.4°C

Chlorine gas, Cl₂, boiling point = -34.6°C

Borane, BH₃, (transient compound), boiling point of the dimer it forms B₂H₆ = -164.85°C

Methane, CH₄, boiling point = -161.6°C

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃, boiling point = 76.1°C

Therefore, given that PCl₃ is a volatile liquid at room temperature, while the other substances are gases and that PCl₃ has the highest boiling point of all the substances of 76.1°C, the substance with the highest boiling point is PCl₃.
