7 valance electrons the Lewis structure for a chlorine atom show.

Explanation:

Lewis structure is used to keep track of the valance electrons of each atom and share them in bonding. Every valance electron is represented as a dot around the element to keep their count.

Paired VE’s are shown as ‘:’ and unpaired as ‘.’ in the representation. A chlorine Cl atom has 17 electrons. & of them are valance electrons. Out of the seven six are paired electrons and one is unpaired.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Chlorine is in group 7 or (VII) in Roman numerals, which means it has 7 balance electrons. It only needs one electron to become stable, hence it is next to the noble gases

14. In the lab, an experimenter mixes 75.0 g of water (initially at 30oC) with 83.8 g of a solid metal (initially at 600oC). At

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Tungsten is used for this experiment

Explanation:

This is a Thermal - equilibrium situation. we can use the equation.

Loss of Heat of the Metal = Gain of Heat by the Water

$-Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\$

Q = mΔT $C_{p}$

Q = heat

m = mass

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₂ = final temperature

T₁ = Initial temperature

Cp = Specific heat capacity

Metal

m = 83.8 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 600⁰C

Cp = $x$

Water

m = 75 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 30⁰C

Cp = 4.184 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

$-Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\$

⇒ - 83.8 x $x$ x (50 - 600) = 75 x 4.184 x (50 - 30)

⇒ $x$ = $\frac{6276}{46090} = 0.13$ j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

We know specific heat capacity of Tungsten = 0.134 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

So metal Tungsten used in this experiment

What is the balanced NET ionic equation for the reaction when aqueous Cs₃PO₄ and aqueous AgNO₃ are mixed in solution to form sol

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the net ionic equation of a chemical reaction shows up the ionic species that result from the simplification of the spectator ions, which are those at both reactants and products sides, we take into account that aqueous species ionize into ions whereas liquid, solid and gas species remain unionized. In such a way, for the reaction of cesium phosphate and silver nitrate we can write the complete molecular equation:

$Cs_3PO_4(aq)+3AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)+3CsNO_3(aq)$

Whereas the three aqueous salts are ionized in order to write the following complete ionic equation:

$3Cs^+(aq)+PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ag^+(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)+3Cs^+(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)$

In such a way, since the cesium and nitrate ions are the spectator ions because of the aforementioned, the net ionic equation turns out:

$PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)$

Best regards!

17. Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?

ivanzaharov [21]

The right answer is D. In a situation where the sound wave reaches the ear and the reflected wave reaches the ear less than 0.1 seconds later, the individual would not be able to hear an echo. There needs to a far more significant delay between the sound and the reflection of said sound reaching the listener's ear for the echo effect to become apparent.
