Answer:

Canonical structures of a chemical specie explain its observed properties from a valence bond theory perspective.

Explanation:

Resonance is a valence bond concept introduced by Linus Pauling to explain the observed properties of certain chemical species such as bond lengths, bond angles, bond order , etc.

There are certain chemical species for which a single chemical structure does not suffice in explaining its observed properties. For instance, the bond order in CO3^2- is about 1.33. Its bond length, shows that the C-O bond present in CO3^2- is neither a pure C-O single bond nor a pure C-O double bond. Hence the structure of CO3^2- is 'somewhere in between' three contributing canonical structures as shown in the image attached to this answer. The resonance structures of NO3^- are also shown.

What is the molarity (M) of the following solutions?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The molarity (M) of the following solutions are :

A. M = 0.88 M

B. M = 0.76 M

Explanation:

A. Molarity (M) of 19.2 g of Al(OH)3 dissolved in water to make 280 mL of solution.

Molar mass of Al(OH)3 = Mass of Al + 3(mass of O + mass of H)

= 27 + 3(16 + 1)

= 27 + 3(17) = 27 + 51

= 78 g/mole

$Al(OH)_3$ = 78 g/mole

Given mass= 19.2 g/mole

$Mole = \frac{Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

$Mole = \frac{19.2}{78}$

Moles = 0.246

$Molarity = \frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ solution(L)}$

Volume = 280 mL = 0.280 L

$Molarity = \frac{0.246}{0.280)}$

Molarity = 0.879 M

Molarity = 0.88 M

B .The molarity (M) of a 2.6 L solution made with 235.9 g of KBr

Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mole

Given mass = 235.9 g

$Mole = \frac{235.9}{119}$

Moles = 1.98

Volume = 2.6 L

$Molarity = \frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ solution(L)}$

$Molarity = \frac{1.98}{2.6)}$

Molarity = 0.762 M

Molarity = 0.76 M

Which statement correctly identifies the nuclide that is most likely to be unstable and describes why?

iVinArrow [24]

The answer would be B.

U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.

It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.

C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.

The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24
