White phosphorus is composed of tetrahedral molecules of P4 in which every P atom is connected to three other P atoms. In the Le

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Why does Hess's law allow you to determine the enthalpy change of a<br> reaction?

lana [24]

Enthalpy is a state function

Explanation:

The Hess's law allows us to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction because enthalpy is a state function. It does not depend on the individual path take in going from reactants to products in the reaction.

Enthalpy changes are the heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes.
It is the difference between the heat content of product in the final state and the reactants.
Enthalpy changes for some reactions are not easily measurable experimentally.
To calculate such heat changes, we apply the Hess's law of heat summation.
The law states that "the heat change of a reaction is the same whether it occurs in a step or several steps".
The Hess's law is simply based on the first law of thermodynamics by which we know that energy is conserved in every system.

A 7.0 g sample of a hydrocarbon (a molecule that has only hydrogen and carbon) is subject to combustion analysis. The mass of CO

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=22.0g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 22.0=6g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon

Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g

Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{6g}{12g/mole}=0.5moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.0g}{1g/mole}=1.0moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.5 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.5}{0.5}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.0}{0.5}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{1}H_{2}=CH_2$

What is the correct term for living the most sustainable life you can within your current circumstances?

tekilochka [14]

Answer: Sustainable living

Explanation: It is a lifestyle by which an individual uses natural resources only as much as is necessary, which means in limited quantities, and thus reduces the general enormous exploitation of these resources. In this way, the needs of the individual are met and resources are put to use for generations to come. It also refers to personal resources as well as Earth resources in general.

It is obvious from today's point of view that if food was produced only as much as needed, it would mean not throwing away food, everyone, both those who could otherwise afford food and those who are now starving, would be fed up.

With the reduction of production not only of food but also of other necessities, that is, with production to meet the needs and not beyond, there would be less pollution and less emission of harmful hags and greenhouse effect.
