Oxygen dichloride molecule consists  of an oxygen atom and two chlorine atoms. According to the VSEPR theory, the 3-D shape of the compound is bent.

There are 6 valence electrons in the oxygen atom and each chlorine atom has 1 valence electrons. Therefore, there are 8 valence electrons or 4 pairs of valence electrons.

According to VSEPR theory, due repulsion between 4 pairs of valence electrons, bond angle between two O-Cl bonds becomes 110 degrees and the shape of the molecule of the compound becomes bent.

explain how a metal with one valence electron compares with a metal with more than one valence electron
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.

Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.

An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.

  • Metals generally have large sizes.
  • when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
  • therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
  • Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
  • It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.

When an acid reacts with a base, salt and water is formed! Why??​
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

When n acid reacts with a base , salt and water is formed because when acid reacts with base, it loses its acidic property and base loses its basic property to form a neutral substance like salt and water..

how many grams of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of calcium nitrate and how many grams of calcium sulfate are produc
AlekseyPX

Answer:  8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Ca(NO_3)_2=\frac{10g}{164g/mol}=0.061moles

\text{Moles of} Li_2SO_4=\frac{10g}{110g/mol}=0.091moles

Ca(NO_3)_2+Li_2SO_4\rightarrow 2LiNO_3+CaSO_4  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Ca(NO_3)_2 require = 1 mole of Li_2SO_4

Thus 0.061 moles of Ca(NO_3)_2 will require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles  of Li_2SO_4

Thus Ca(NO_3)_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Li_2SO_4 is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of Ca(NO_3)_2 give = 1 mole of CaSO_4

Thus 0.061 moles of Ca(NO_3)_2 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles  of CaSO_4

Mass of CaSO_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.061moles\times 136g/mol=8.30g

Thus 8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

He reaction produces 1.6 g of gas in 30 seconds.Calculate the mean rate of the reaction in the first 30 seconds.Use the equation
devlian [24]

Answer:

Mean rate of reaction produced = 0.533 g/sec (approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Reaction produced = 1.6 gram

Time taken = 30 sec

Find:

Mean rate of reaction produced

Computation:

Mean rate of reaction produced = Reaction produced / Time taken

Mean rate of reaction produced = 1.6 / 30

Mean rate of reaction produced = 0.533 g/sec (approx.)

When 3243. grams of iron (III) chloride are reacted with 511.8 grams of hydrosulfuric acid, which is the limiting reactant?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Hydrosulfuric acid will act as limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron(III) chloride = 3243.0 g

Mass of hydrosulfuric acid = 511.8 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2FeCl₃ + 3H₂S       →       Fe₂S₃ + 6HCl

Number of moles of iron(III) chloride:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3243.0 g/ 162.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 20 mol

Number of moles of hydrosulfuric acid:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 511.8 g/ 34.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 15 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with products

                      FeCl₃          :          Fe₂S₃

                       2                :            1

                      20               :          1/2 ×20 = 10

                      FeCl₃          :            HCl

                       2                :              6

                      20               :          6/2 ×20 = 60

                      H₂S             :          Fe₂S₃

                       3                :            1

                      15               :          1/3 ×15 = 5

                      H₂S            :            HCl

                       3                :              6

                      15                :          6/3 ×15 = 30

Hydrosulfuric acid producing less number of moles of product thus, it will act as limiting reactant.
