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

Answer:

2.1 × 10⁻¹ M

2.0 × 10⁻¹ m

Explanation:

Molarity

The molar mass of aniline (solute) is 93.13 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 3.9 g are:

3.9 g × (1 mol/93.13 g) = 0.042 mol

The volume of the solution is 200 mL (0.200 L). The molarity of aniline is:

M = 0.042 mol/0.200 L = 0.21 M = 2.1 × 10⁻¹ M

Molality

The moles of solute are 0.042 mol.

The density of the solvent is 1.05 g/mL. The mass corresponding to 200 mL is:

200 mL × 1.05 g/mL = 210 g = 0.210 kg

The molality of aniline is:

m = 0.042 mol/0.210 kg = 0.20 m = 2.0 × 10⁻¹ m

Answer:

Chemical reactions that take place inside living things are called biochemical reactions. The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism includes both exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical reactions.
