serg [7]

Answer:

One carbon atom and the nitrogen atom have nonzero formal charges.

Explanation:

The compound Acetonitrile has sixteen valence electrons as is easily San from its structure. It contains a carbon nitrogen triple bond with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. All atoms satisfy the octet rule and there is no hyper valent atom in the molecule.

The formal charge an carbon and nitrogen is calculated as follows;

No. of valence electron on atom - [non bonded electrons + no. of bonds]

Therefore, for carbon and nitrogen, we have;

formal charge on carbon = 4 - (0 + 4) = 0

formal charge on nitrogen = 5 - (2 + 3) = 0

Hence carbon and nitrogen both possess zero formal charges.

Calculate the pH of each solution at 25∘C
JulijaS [17]

Answer: pH of HCl =5, HNO3 = 1,

NaOH = 9, KOH = 12

Explanation:

pH = -log [H+ ]

1. 1.0 x 10^-5 M HCl

pH = - log (1.0 x 10^-5)

= 5 - log 1 = 5

2. 0.1 M HNO3

pH = - log (1.0 x 10 ^ -1)

pH = 1 - log 1 = 1

3. 1.0 x 10^-5 NaOH

pOH = - log (1.0 x 10^-5)

pOH = 5 - log 1 = 5

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore , pH = 14 - 5 = 9

4. 0.01 M KOH

pOH = - log ( 1.0 x 10^ -2)

= 2 - log 1 = 2

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore, pH = 14 - 2 = 12

15. What volume of CCI, (d = 1.6 g/cc) contain
anastassius [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{(3) 9.6 L}}

Explanation:

1. Moles of CCl₄

n = 6.02 \times 10^{25} \text{ molecules} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}} = \text{100.0 mol}

2. Molar mass of CCl₄

MM = 1 × 12.01 + 4 × 35.5 = 12.01 + 142 = 154.0 g/mol

3. Mass of CCl₄

m =\text{100.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{154.0 g}}{\text{1 mol}} = \text{15 400 g}

4. Volume of CCl₄

V = \text{15 400 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cm}^{3}}{\text{1.6 g}} = \text{9600 cm}^{3}\\\\V = \text{9600 cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L}}{\text{1000 cm}^{3}} = \mathbf{{9.6 L}}\\\\\text{The volume of CCl$_{4}$ is } \boxed{\textbf{9.6 L}}
