How does the formal charge play a role in resonance?

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

What is the ph of a 0.40 m h2se solution that has the stepwise dissociation constants k a1 = 1.3 × 10-4 and k a2 = 1.0 × 10-11?
umka2103 [35]
First, we can neglect the Ka2 value and use Ka1:

according to this equation and by using the ICE table:

              H2Se ⇄  H+ +HSe-
initial    0.4 M         0       0 
change  -X             +X        +X 
Equ      (0.4-X)         X           X

so,

Ka1 = [H+][HSe-] / [H2Se]

so by substitution:

1.3 x 10^-4 = X*X / (0.4 -X) by solving for X

∴X  = 0.00715

∴[H+] = 0.00715 m

∴PH = -㏒[H+]
        = -㏒ 0.00715
        = 2.15

In the first step of glycolysis, the given two reactions are coupled. reaction 1:reaction 2:glucose+Pi⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2OAT
vazorg [7]

Answer : The reaction 2 is spontaneous.

Explanation :

As we know that:

\Delta G= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

\Delta G= -ve, reaction is spontaneous

\Delta G= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

For the reaction to be spontaneous, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction must come out to be negative.

Reaction 1:

Glucose + Pi \rightarrow glucose-6-phosphate + H₂O,   ΔG = +13.8 kJ/mol

Reaction 2:

ATP + H₂O \rightarrow ADP + Pi,   ΔG = -30.5 kJ/mol

From this we conclude that the value of ΔG is negative. So, reaction 2 is a spontaneous reaction.
