Answer : The number of lone pairs of electrons around the central iodine atom are, 6 electrons

Explanation :

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 representation of valence electrons of an atom by dots around the symbol of an element is said to be the Lewis-dot symbol.

In the representation of Lewis-symbol, one electron dot must put on each side of the element symbol then paired the electrons.

The given molecule is, $ICl_2^-$

As we know that iodine ans chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $ICl_2^-$ = 7 + 2(7) + 1 = 22

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 4 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the number of lone pairs of electrons around the central iodine atom are, 6 electrons

A research team has just discovered a new element called Likhitium. Now they need to determine the average atomic mass in order

earnstyle [38]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

139.13

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of the element Likhitium is the sum of the relative abundance of all the isotopes of Likhitium.

We obtain the relative atomic mass of Likhitium as follows;

(44.7/100 * 138) + (52.3/100 * 139) + (0.5/100 * 140) + (2.5/100 * 141)

61.7 + 73.2 + 0.7 + 3.53 = 139.13

Hence the relative abundance of Likhitium is 139.13

1. For one atom of lithium -6 I will need_____ atom of lithium -7 for an average atomic mass of 6.944? 2. For one atom of lithiu

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

For one atom of lithium -6 I will need_16.85____ atom of lithium -7 for an average atomic mass of 6.944 .

Explanation:

1 ) Let required atom be m .

$\frac{6\times 1 + 7\times m}{1 + m} = 6.944$

6 + 7m = 6.944 + 6.944m

7 m - 6.944 m = .944

.056 m = .944

m = 16.85

The tabulated data were collected for this reaction:

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

ai) Rate law, $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

aii) Rate constant, k = 1.25

b) Overall order of reaction = 1.5

Explanation:

Equation of Reaction:

$CH_{3} Cl (g) + 3 Cl_2 (g) \rightarrow CCl_4 (g) + 3 HCl (g)$

If $A + B \rightarrow C + D$ , the rate of backward reaction is given by:

$Rate = k [A]^{a} [B]^{b}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [A]^{a} [B]^{b}}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$

k is constant for all the stages

Using the information provided in lines 1 and 2 of the table:

$0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [0.100]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [2*0.05]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / = 0.029/ 2^a\\2^a = 2.07\\a = 1$

Using the information provided in lines 3 and 4 of the table and insering the value of a:

$0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [0.200]^a [0.200]^b\\0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [2 * 0.100]^a [2 * 0.100]^b\\$

$0.041 = 0.115 / [2 ]^a [2]^b\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 0.115/0.041\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2 ]^1 [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2]^b = 1.40\\b = \frac{ln 1.4}{ln 2} \\b = 0.5$

The rate law is: $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

The rate constant $k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$ then becomes:

$k = 0.014 / ( [0.050] [0.050]^(0.5) )\\k = 1.25$

b) Overall order of reaction = a + b

Overall order of reaction = 1 + 0.5

Overall order of reaction = 1.5

Before we begin, let's first establish an understanding of basic terminology It may be harder than you think lo clearly define w

pentagon [3]

Answer:

oranges: contains chemical

heat: neither

sunlight: neither

photosynthesis: chemical reaction

bleaching protein: contains chemical

neutralization: chemical reaction

combustion: chemical reaction

vitamin K: contains chemical

rainbow: neither

marble: contains chemical

Explanation:

A chemical is a substance that is used in or made by chemical reactions. It is a matter with compositions related to the science of chemistry. In the question,

- orange contains chemical like vitamins, protein molecules etc.

- Bleaching protein contains chemicals that bring about the bleaching process.

- Vitamin k contains chemical elements

- marble contains Calcium, oxygen etc elements

A chemical reaction is that which involves the change in chemical properties of involved substances.

- Photosynthesis is the chemical reaction between carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to give glucose.

- Neutralization is the chemical reaction where an acid neutralizes a base to form a salt and water molecule.

- Combustion is the chemical reaction involving the burning of a chemical substance.

Some substances like sunlight, heat and rainbow are neither a chemical or chemical reaction.
