Answer:

The structures are shown below.

Explanation:

When the acid reacts with water, it loses one proton (H⁺) and forms a base, which is the conjugate base of its acid.

The formal charge of an atom can be calculated by:

FC = X - (Y + Z/2)

Where X is the valence electrons of the neutral atom, Y is the unshared electrons, and Z is the shared electrons in the molecule.

a) When HCl deprotonates, it forms Cl⁻ as the conjugate base. The neutral atom Cl has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1 The structure is shown below in figure a.

b) When Hbr deprotonates it forms Br- as the conjugate base. The neutral atom has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1. The structure is shown below in figure b.

c) When CH3COOH loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base CH3COO⁻. The carbon as 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has 1 valence electron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The first carbon make simple bonds with each hydrogen and with the second carbon, and so, all the electrons are shared, and it has FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0, as so the hydrogens have FC = 1 - (0 + 2/2) = 0.

The second carbon does 1 simple bond with the first carbon, a double bond with one oxygen, and a simple bond with the other oxygen, and so doesn't have unshared electrons, and FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0.

The first oxygen does a double bond with the carbon, and so it has 4 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0. The second oxygen does a simple bond with the carbon, and so has 5 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (5 + 2/2) = 0.

The structure is shown in figure c.

Lead has a density of 11.3 g/mL. If you have 105 grams of lead,
Elza [17]

Answer:

<h2>Volume = 9.29 mL</h2>

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density( \rho) =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question

Density = 11.3 g/mL

mass = 105 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's

11.3 =  \frac{105}{v}

Cross multiply

11.3v = 105

Divide both sides by 11.3

v =  \frac{105}{11.3}

v = 9.29203

We have the final answer as

<h3>Volume = 9.29 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

To find the Ce4+ content in a solid sample, 4.3718 g of the solid sample were dissolved and treated with excess iodate to precip
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

3.43 %

Explanation:

We need  to calculate first the number of moles of CeO2 produced in the combustion. Given its formula we know how many moles of Ce atom are present. From there calculate the mass this number of moles this represent and then one can calculate the percentage.

0.1848 g CeO2 x 1 mol CeO2/172.114g = 0.00107 mol CeO2

0.00107 mol CeO2 x 1 mol Ce/ 1 mol CeO2 = 0.00107 mol Ce

.00107 mol Ce x 140.116 g Ce/ mol  =  0.150 g Ce

0.150 g Ce/ 4.3718 g sample  x 100 = 3.43 %
