How does the formal charge play a role in resonance?

Crank3 years ago

3 0

In a Lewis structure, formal charges can be assigned to each atom by treating each bond as if one-half of the electrons are assigned to each atom. ... Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written.

Will give lots of points if answered correctly. Determine the kb for chloroform when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes t

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: The value of $K_{b}$ for chloroform is $3.62^{o}C/m$ when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Explanation:

Given: Moles of solute = 0.793 mol

Mass of solvent = 0.758

$\Delta T_{b} = 3.80^{o}C$

As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent. Hence, molality of given solution is calculated as follows.

$Molality = \frac{no. of moles}{mass of solvent (in kg)}\\= \frac{0.793 mol}{0.758 kg}\\= 1.05 m$

Now, the values of $K_b$ is calculated as follows.

$\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m$

where,

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for chloroform)

m = molality

$K_{b}$ = molal boiling point elevation constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m\\3.80^{o}C = 1 \times K_{b} \times 1.05 m\\K_{b} = 3.62^{o}C/m$

Thus, we can conclude that the value of $K_{b}$ for chloroform is $3.62^{o}C/m$ when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme

boyakko [2]

Answer: The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

Explanation:

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = $n_i+1=(2+1)=3$

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m$

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

$1m=10^9nm$

So, $6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm$

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

How many traditional areas of study can chemistry be divided into

seraphim [82]

There is five main area of study in Chemistry, these are:

Analytical, this focusses on experimental equipment and methods used in chemistry (e.g., NMR, Spectroscopic methods, etc.)

Biochemistry - focuses on the chemistry of compounds and processes in living things (e.g., amino acids, proteins, DNA, cellular respiration, Krebs cycle, etc.)

Organic - focuses on the chemistry on most carbon-based molecules found in living things (e.g., hydrocarbons, alcohols, carbolic acids. Amines, ester, etc.)

Inorganic - (focuses on all elements other than carbon (e.g., fluorine, silicon, xenon, etc.)

Physical - focuses on the basic structure and energetic son atoms and molecules (e.g., subatomic structure, is nice and covalent bonding, thermodynamics, reactions, etc.)
