Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of SOCl_2 is shown below.

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 given molecule is, SOCl_2

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in SOCl_2 = 6 + 6 + 2(7) = 26

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on O}=6-6-\frac{2}{2}=-1

\text{Formal charge on }Cl_1=7-6-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }Cl_2=7-6-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on S}=6-3-\frac{6}{2}=+1

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of SOCl_2 is shown below.

A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad
Umnica [9.8K]

We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>

Construction crews sometimes use this reaction for welding underwater structures:
meriva

Answer:

5 moles of iron formed

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of iron formed = ?

Moles of iron oxide react = 2.50 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + 2Al     →     Al₂O₃ + 2Fe

Now we will compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                  Fe₂O₃        :           Fe

                      1             ;            2

                  2.50          :          2×2.50 = 5 mol

If you digested 25 mg of pure ferrocene in nitric acid and then diluted the resulting solution up to 500 mL with 1% aqueous hydr
Vilka [71]

Answer:

1.345*10⁻⁴ mol/L

15.023 mg/L

Explanation:

The chemical <u>formula of ferrocene</u> is Fe(C₅H₅)₂, thus its molecular weight is:

55.845 g/mol + 10*12g/mol + 10 *1g/mol = 185.845 g/mol

  • The moles of Fe contained in 25 mg (or 0.025 g) of ferrocene are:

0.025gFerrocene*\frac{1molFerrocene}{185.845g} *\frac{1mol Fe}{1molFerrocene}=1.345*10^{-4} molFe

  • The final volume is 500 mL, or 0.5 L. So the iron concentration in mol/L is:

\frac{1.345*10^{-4}molFe}{0.5L}= 2.69*10^{-4} mol/L

  • We can convert that value into mg/L:

2.69*10^{-4} \frac{molFe}{L} *\frac{55.845g}{1molFe}*\frac{1000mg}{1g}=15.023 mg/L

2. Why is the flow rate of water out of a tap quite different from the flow rate of honey.
Olin [163]
The flow rate of water differs from honey due to the texture and thickness of the product. Honey’s thickness doesn’t allow it to move as quickly as the water, therefore affecting the flow rate.

In order to prepare 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH you will add _____ mL of 1.00 M NaOH to _____ mL of water
FinnZ [79.3K]

The question requires us to complete the sentence regarding the preparation of a more dilute NaOH solution (0.100 M, 50.0 mL) from a more concentrated NaOH solution (1.00 M).

Analyzing the blank spaces that we need to fill in the sentence, we can see that we must provide the volume of the more concentrated solution and the volume of water necessary to prepare the solution.

We can use the following equation to calculate the volume of more concentrated solution required:

\begin{gathered} C_1\times V_1=C_2\times V_2 \\ V_1=\frac{C_2\times V_2}{C_1} \end{gathered}

where C1 is the concentration of the initial solution (C1 = 1.00 M), V1 is the volume required of the inital solution (that we'll calculate), C2 is the concentration of the final solution (C2 = 0.100 M) and V2 is the volume of the final solution (V2 = 50.0 mL).

Applying the values given by the question to the equation above, we'll have:

\begin{gathered} V_1=\frac{C_2\times V_2}{C_1} \\ V_1=\frac{0.100M_{}\times50.0mL_{}}{1.00M_{}}=5.00mL \end{gathered}

Thus, we would need 5.00 mL of the more concentrated solution.

Since the volume of the final solution is 50.0 mL and it corresponds to the volume of initial solution + volume of water, we can calculate the volume of water necessary as:

\begin{gathered} \text{final volume = volume of initial solution + volume of water} \\ 50.0mL=5.00mL\text{ + volume of water} \\ \text{volume of water = 45.0 mL} \end{gathered}

Thus, we would need 45.0 mL of water to prepare the solution.

Therefore, we can complete the sentence given as:

<em>"In order to prepare 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH you will add </em>5.00 mL<em> of 1.00 M NaOH to </em>45.0 mL<em> of water"</em>
