CO₂ has 4 + 2(6) = 16 valence electrons

CO₂ have linear molecular structures with a 180° bond angle. CO₂ is nonpolar  because the individual bond dipoles cancel each other out

XeCl₂ has 8 + 2(7) = 22 valence electrons.

There are five pairs of electrons about the central Xe atom. The structure will be based  on a trigonal bipyramid geometry. The most stable arrangement of the atoms in XeCl₂ is  a linear molecular structure with a 180° bond angle. It is nonpolar because the Xe−Cl bond dipoles  and lone pairs around Xe are arranged in such a manner that they cancel each other out.

(b)

SCl₆ is nonpolar because it has 6 bonding pairs and no lone pairs, giving it an octahedral shape. When you draw the vectors, you can see that the resultant is 0, making it nonpolar.

SCl₄ on the other hand is polar because it has 4 bonding pairs and one lone pair, giving it a trigonal pyramidal shape.

SCl₂ is also polar due to reasons similar to those in the case of SCl₄.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

New experimental methods

Technological inventions

Explanation:

A scientific theory is usually not based on speculation. Scientific theories must have a solid empirical basis.

However, experimental methods are limited to the caliber of equipments available at the time in which a theory is formulated. With advancing years, more technological sophistication leads to the invention of new instruments and ultimately, the development of new experimental methods.

These innovations are likely to alter existing scientific theories as new evidences emerge, hence the answer.

A chemist has a 2.0 M solution of copper (II) sulfate. Is he takes 400 mL of this solution and dilutes it with 1200 mL of water,
Ksenya-84 [330]

0.66 M is the accurate molarity of the new solution of volume of 1200 ml.

Explanation:

Data given:

molarity of copper(II) sulphate, Mconc.= 2M

volume of 2M solution taken Vconc. = 400 ml

volume taken for dilution, Vdilute = 1200 ml

molarity of the diluted solution, Mdilute =?

We will use the formula for dilution as

Mconc Vconc = Mdilute x V dilute  (conc is concentrated)

putting the values in the equation:

2 x 400 = Mdilute x 1200

Mdilute = \frac{800}{1200}

   Mdilute  = 0.66 M

When the solution is diluted to the volume of 1200 ml its molarity changes to 0.66 M.

The halogens, the elements of Family 17 on the periodic table, combine easily with elements from Family 1. When a halogen reacts
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

When halogen elements react with group one metals they form halide salts.

Explanation:

The elements of group 17 are called halogens. These are six elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine. Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their chemical properties are resemble greatly with each other. As we move down the group in periodic table size of halogens increases that's way fluorine is smaller in size as compared to other halogens elements. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states. i.e fluorine is gas while iodine is solid.

When halogen elements react with group one metals they form halide salts.

Alkali metals have one valance electron and halogens needed one electron to complete the octet thus alkali metals loses one electron which is accepted by halogens atom and form ionic compound called halide salts.

For example:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

2K + Cl₂  → 2KCl

2Rb + Cl₂ → 2RbCl

2Li + Cl₂ → 2LiCl

With bromine:

2Na + Br₂ → 2NaBr

2K + Br₂  → 2KBr

2Rb + Br₂ → 2RbBr

2Li + Br₂ → 2LiBr

With iodine:

2Na + I₂ → 2NaI

2K +  I₂ → 2KBI

2Rb + I₂ → 2RbI

2Li + I₂ → 2LiI

Metal carbonates decompose to the metal oxide and CO2 on heating according to this general equation. Mx(CO3)is) → My(s) + yCO2(g
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

84.11 g/mol

Explanation:

A metal from group 2A will form the cation M²⁺, and the ion carbonate is CO₃²⁻, so the metal carbonate must be: MCO₃, and the reaction:

MCO₃(s) → MO(s) + CO₂(g)

For the stoichiometry of the reaction, 1 mol of MCO₃(s) will produce 1 mol of CO₂. Using the ideal gas law, it's possible to calculate the number of moles of CO₂:

PV = nRT , where P is the pressure, V is the volume(0.285 L), R is the gas constant (62.36 mmHg*L/mol*K), n is the number of moles, and T is the temperature (25 + 273 = 298 K).

69.8*0.285 = n*62.36*298

18583.28n = 19.893

n = 0.00107 mol

So, the number of moles of the metal carbonate is 0.00107. The molar mass is the mass divided by the number of moles:

0.0900/0.00107 = 84.11 g/mol
