How does silicon dioxide become a covalent bond. (explain)

Chemistry
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]3 years ago
4 0
Silicon dioxide is SiO2.  Silicon has 4 valence electrons, while each oxygen has 6 valence electrons.  This can be shown as 
     **             *                   *
**  O *       *  Si   *        *   O  **
      *               *                 **
At points where there is one valence electron, represented by a lone *, the electrons will be 'shared' between the atoms.  This will make silicon dioxide appear as
   **           *--------------- *
**  O *--*  Si   * ------ *   O  **
      *------- *                 **
, as the lines with no arrows indicate that each electron moves between the atoms, and does not stay with one forever.

Explain how Archimedes' principle determines the buoyant force on an object<br> in any fluid medium.
gladu [14]

Answer:

<em>An object in a fluid medium displaces a set amount of fluid upon immersion. Archimedes' principle states that the weight of the displaced fluid is equal to the buoyant force exerted on the object</em>

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. How many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to
valina [46]

5.451 X 10³ kg of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 5.04×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Sodium carbonate is used to neutralized sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:

                        Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ ----> Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃

  • From a balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of  H₂SO₄.
  • Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol = 0.106 kg/mol and                                Molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol = 0.098 kg/mol.
  • To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, To neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is =  5.451 X 10³ kg.

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?
Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
