CO2 = 4+6(2)
= 16
This means there is a total of 16 valance electrons.

1. Choose least electronegative atom in this case C and put it in the center

2. Put oxygen around it

Eg.

O-C-O

Remember one line equals two electrons.

Put electrons around each atom until full.
Hard to show without drawing. Hope that helps

How many moles do you have in 37.3 g of Co(CrO4)3

shutvik [7]

Answer:

0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

37.3 g Co(CrO₄)₃

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Co - 58.93 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cr - 52.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Co(CrO₄)₃ - 58.93 + 3(52.00) + 12(16.00) = 406.93 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$37.3 \ g \ Co(CrO_4)_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ Co(CrO_4)_3}{406.93 \ g \ Co(CrO_4)_3} )$ = 0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

Step 4: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃ ≈ 0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

Between 2014 and 2016, more than 25,000 children in Flint, Michigan, drank water that was contaminated with lead from lead pipes

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Regularly test the water in residents' homes.

Explanation:

The only way to know if tap water contains lead is to do tests to determine the levels of that metal in the water. Therefore, the state is under an obligation to constantly conduct such tests in the resident´s homes and thus determine whether the water supplied is fit for human consumption.

The state after the tests must guarantee the population the treatment of the water to reduce the levels of lead. The main pipes that contain lead pipes must be changed, as well as those parts of the service connections made of lead.

A metal oxide with the formula mo contains 15.44% oxygen. in the box below, type the symbol for the element represented by m.

lana66690 [7]

Answer: The element represented by M is Strontium.

Explanation:

Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.

The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol

It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

$\frac{15.44}{100}\times (x+16)=16g/mol\\\\(x+16)=\frac{16g/mol\times 100}{15.44}\\\\x=(103.626-16)g/mol\\\\x=87.62g/mol$

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.

Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.

The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O and its molecular weight is 90.09 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound will be, $C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$
