Answer:

The electrons in the outermost shell are used to determine the dot structure.

Explanation:

According to Lewis, the structure of a molecule could be determined by accurately determining the number of electrons on the outermost shell of the Central atom. Silicon has four valence electrons on its outermost shell and it is the central atom in silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is a linear molecule as it forms two double bonds with oxygen.

BartSMP [9]

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...

It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.

An equimolar mixture of acetone and ethanol is fed to an evacuated vessel and allowedto come to equilibrium at 65°C and 1.00 atm
frutty [35]

The question is incomplete, the table of the question is given below

Answer:

I) xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

ii) 76.2 mole % vapor

iii) Percentage of vapor volume = 98%

Explanation:

i) xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

 xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

ii)      0.50 = 0.55 nv + 0.34 nL

     Therefore, nV =    0.762 mol vapor and nL = 0.238 mol liquid

This shows 76.2 mole % vapor

iii)  ρA= 0.791 g/cm3 and,  ρE = 0.789 g/cm3

Therefore, ρ = 0.790 g/cm3

Now, we have:

MA = 58.08 g/mol and ME= 46.07 g/mol

So Ml = (0.34 x 58.08)+[(1 -0.34) x 46.07] = 50.15 g/mol

1 mol liquid = (0.762 mol vapor/0.238 mol liquid) = 3.2 mol vapor

Liquid volume = Vl= [1 mol x (50.15 g/mol)] / (0.790 g/cm3) = 63.48 cm3

Vapour volume = Vv = 3.2 mol x(22400 cm3/mol) x [(65+273)/273] = 88747 cm3

Therefore, percentage of vapour volume = 88747 / (88747+63.48) = 99.9 %

Are plant cells affected when water is scarce
boyakko [2]
<span>Water is vital to the existence of plant life. Not only do plants use it to keep their cells from drying out, but they need water to move nutrients and raw materials throughout their systems to areas where photosynthesis and seed production take place. When water stress occurs, whether caused by drought or root impairment, many invisible processes are affected.</span>

A solution at 25 degrees Celslus 1.0*10^ -5 MH 3 O^ + . What the concentration of OH^ - in this solution?
dexar [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

-log(1.0x10^-5) = pH

pH + pOH = 14 (rearrange it)

OH- = 10^-pOH = 1.0 x 10^-9

- Hope that helped! Let me know if you need further explantion.

When considering metal complexation with EDTA, if you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher ____________ will react wi
DENIUS [597]

If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first

<h3>What is EDTA ?</h3>

EDTA is a type of chemical which binds certain metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. some of the functions of EDTA  includes:

  • Preventing blood clotting of blood samples
  • prevention of the formation of Biofilm by bacterias

The EDTA will readily react with metals which have a hiogher number of free ions that it can bind with.

Hence we can conclude that If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first.
