Explanation:

The Lewis dot diagram shows how electrons participate in a bond with Carbon and Chlorine. This is shown by the sticks and the 2 paired electrons near the carbon atom which represent the bonds. These electrons form these bonds because they form octets when they are bonded which most molecules and compounds follow

Answer: Chlorine and Carbon exhibits covalent bonding which involves the sharing if electrons. Carbon is less electronegative than Chlorine so it is considered as the central atom on this compound. Carbon shares it 4 valence electrons on Cl to attain octet. Now Chlorine is more electronegative so it will receive the lone pairs based from the Lewis structure.

Since C os in group 4 and Cl in group 7 the number of electrons will be:

C = 4

Cl= 7 x 4

# of e- = 32 - 8 ( the number of bonds)

Total number of e-. = 26 e-

Distribute the electrons to the most electronegative atom which is Cl have 6 e- each to attain octet.

For the following reaction, 4.31 grams of iron are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 5.17 grams of iron(II) oxi

natka813 [3]

Answer: The theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For Iron:

Given mass of iron = 4.31 g

Molar mass of iron = 53.85 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{4.31g}{53.85g/mol}=0.0771mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (ii) oxide.

So, 0.0771 moles of iron will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.0771=0.0771mol$ of iron (ii) oxide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide using equation 1, we get:

Moles of of iron (II) oxide = 0.0771 moles

Molar mass of iron (II) oxide = 71.844 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0771mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of iron(ii) oxide}}{71.844g/mol}=5.53g$

To calculate the percentage yield of iron (ii) oxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.17 g

Theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.53 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of iron (ii) oxide}=\frac{5.17g}{5.53g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of iron (ii) oxide}=93.49\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %
