The formal charge is = -3 on the central iodine atom
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago

Answer :  The formal charge on the central iodine atom is, Zero (0).

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, IO_3^-

As we know that iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in IO_3^- = 7 + 3(6) + 1 = 26

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on the central iodine atom.

Formula for formal charge :

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

\text{Formal charge on I}=7-2-\frac{10}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of IO_3^- is shown below.

Element Q has an atomic number 68. Consider the isotope Q-136 how many protons are in a neutral atom of this isotope?
mote1985 [20]

Answer: 68

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element have same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Which means isotopes of an element have same atomic number but different mass number.

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons for a neutral atom and is specific to a particular element.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Given : atomic number of element Q = 68 = number of protons

Mass number of isotope Q-136 = 136

But as isotopes have same atomic number, the number of protons will be same and hence there are 68 protons are in a neutral atom of this isotope.

Describe how experimental evidence led each of the following scientists: Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr, to dev
nasty-shy [4]
Dalton Found out there was a small, hard indestructible sphere that is the smalles part of an element.He created his own Atomic Theory:
-All Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
-Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
-All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size. The atoms of one element are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
<span>-Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions.
</span><span>Rutherford had found the positively charged nucleus in the middle of every atom using his Gold Foil Experiment. While doing this experiment, he expected these particles to just pass right through the foil but they bounced right back. He also proposed there were negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.
</span><span>Thompson found negative electrons and inferred atoms also contain negative particles. He inferred there was a lump of positively charged material, with negative electrons throughout. He used the Raisins Bun Model to explain. 
</span>Chadwick <span>proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton "Neutron"  is the name given to the particle</span>
Bohr 
believed Rutherford's prediction was correct, but it wasn't complete. Bohr proposed electrons could only move between energy levels, rather then being able to move everywhere.

Sodium carbonate can be made by heating sodium bicarbonate: 2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) At 25°C, for this reaction,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

401.17 K is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous under standard state conditions.

Explanation:

The expression for the standard change in free energy is:

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\times \Delta S

Where,  

\Delta G is the change in the Gibbs free energy.

T is the absolute temperature. (T in kelvins)

\Delta H is the enthalpy change of the reaction.

\Delta S is the change in entropy.

Given at:-

Temperature = 25.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

\Delta H = 128.9 kJ/mol

\Delta G = 33.1 kJ/mol

Applying in the above equation, we get as:-

33.1=128.9-298.15\times \Delta S

-29815\Delta S=-9580

\Delta S=-9580 = 0.32131 kJ/Kmol

So, For reaction to be spontaneous, \Delta G

Thus, For minimum temperature:-

\Delta H-T\times \Delta S=0

128.9-T\times 0.32131=0

T=\frac{128.9}{0.32131}=401.17\ K

<u>Hence, 401.17 K is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous under standard state conditions.</u>

What will happen to the chemical equilibrium if NH4Cl is added to this solution?
Tresset [83]
The answer to this item depends entirely to the chemical reaction. If the compound, NH4Cl, is in the left hand side of the reaction, when it is added, the reaction will shift to the left. In the same manner, when the compound is in the right-hand side of the reaction, the reaction will shift to the right.

This happens because initially the reaction is in equilibrium and adding another compound to it will most likely lead to the shifting of the reaction.
