Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have to remember that the formula of <u>sulfur dioxide</u> is SO_2. So, the "S" atom is the central one and the "O" atoms are in the left and right of S. Additionally, "S" and "O" atom has <u>6 valence electrons each</u>. With this in mind, we can start with a structure in which the left oxygen has 2 lone pairs and a double bond, the S atom can have a double bond a single bond and a lone pair and the right oxygen with 3 lone pairs with a single bond <u>(structure A)</u>. Now, if we move the negative charge in the right  (resonance) to the middle and the double bond to the left oxygen we will obtain <u>structure B</u>. Finally, we can move the negative charge in the left to the middle and we will obtain structure C. (See figure 1).

Science, compare and contrast Quantitative and Qualitative observations
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Quantitative observation have accuracy over qualitative observation as in Quantitative observation data is recorded in terms of number .

Explanation:
Qualitative observations are descriptive observations that don't involve numbers. " The freezing point of water is colder than the boiling point " is an example. Quantitative observations are numerical measurements. "The freezing point of watrr is 0 c and boiling point is 100 c" is a quantitative observation.

How many grams of H2 are needed to produce 10.42 g of NH3
tamaranim1 [39]
N2 + 3 H2 >> 2 NH3 moles NH3 = 11.50 g /17.0307 g/mol=0.6753 the ratio between H2 and NH3 is 3 : 2 moles H2 needed = 0.6753 x 3/2 =1.013 mass H2 = 1.013 mol x 2.106 g/mol=2.042 g

Calculate the mass/volume percent of a NaCl solution in which 140 g of NaCl is dissolved in enough water to give a total volume
Len [333]
Mass per volume percent is simply calculated by getting the ratio of the mass in g of solute and the volume in mL of the solution multiplied by 100 percent. In the problem, we are given all the required values. Calculation is as follows:

%w/v = 140 / 1590 x 100 = 8.81%

Explain why mineral oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons does not dissolve in water
Mkey [24]
Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.
