How many lone pairs of electrons are represented in the Lewis structure of a phosphate ion (PO43-)? 10 12 21 24

Chemistry

ra1l [238]2 years ago

To illustrate the Lewis structure,
P has 5 valence electrons
O has 6 valence electrons (each for 4 oxygen)
And finally, for every negative charge, there is an additional valence electron

We should add these all up = 5 + 24 + 3 = 32 valence electrons

With this, we can be guided to illustrate the lewis structure as P as central atom and the 3 oxygen each with a single bond with P and 1 oxygen with a double bond with P. We place the valence electrons until octet rule is satisfied,
we will be left with 12 lone pairs for phosphate ion.

<h2>Answers to the whole assignment:</h2>

**Check for proof photos at the bottom.**

**Answers are in bold.**

__________________________________________________________

A student places three ice cubes in a beaker and allows them to partially melt. If she measures the temperature of the water in the beaker, what will she most likely observe? Explain your answer.

She will see that the temperature of the water is 0 degrees Celsius and it stays at that temperature until all the ice cubes completely melt.

__________________________________________________________

Use the table on the right to calculate each required quantity. Record values to 3 significant digits.

First answer: 35.8 kJ

Second answer: 871 g

Third answer: Fe

__________________________________________________________

An iron sphere with a mass of 75.00 g is heated to a temperature of 385.0°C. It is then placed in a beaker containing 150.0 g H2O at 100.0°C.

First answer: 339 kJ

Second answer: 9.02  kJ

Third answer: No

__________________________________________________________

A sample of water has a mass of 100.0 g. Calculate the amount of heat required to change the sample from ice at –45.00°C to water vapor at 175.0°C. Relevant constant values are given to the right.

First answer: 325  kJ

Second answer: boiling the water

__________________________________________________________

Identify the correct description for each part labeled on the diagram.  

A: ✔ heating solid

B: ✔ melting

C: ✔ heating liquid

D: ✔ boiling

E: ✔ heating gas

F: ✔ melting point

G: ✔ boiling point

Where are the particles closest together?

✔ A

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When ice partially melts, the surrounding water remains at 0° Celsius. This is because ice melting only involves the water molecules overcoming intermolecular forces, or forces holding molecules together. The water molecules themselves aren't increasing in kinetic energy when turning into liquid. Since temperature measures kinetic energy, the temperature in this case, remains at 0°.

To find how much energy it takes to cause a phase change in a substance, you must find the number of moles, and determine whether to use ΔHvap and ΔHfus. ΔHvap is used to show how much energy is involved in evaporation and condensation, and ΔHfus is the same but used for melting and freezing. To find number of moles of a given substance, use the formula: mass of given substance divided by atomic mass. Both numbers have to use the same mass unit. Then, multiply number of moles by ΔHvap or ΔHfus to get kJ.

In a heating curve graph, the flat lines represent no change in energy, or the phase changes. The steep lines are change in energy, which are either heating or cooling. The bottom line is a heating/cooling solid. A heating/cooling solid is the coldest phase, which is why the line is at the bottom.

Luke and Sian want to plant a vegetable garden in their yard. A soil testing kit measures the soil pH at 5.0, but the lettuce th
dexar [7]

Answer:

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base to it.

Explanation:

The pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in their aqueous solution.

pH=-\log[H^+]

  • With increase in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value decreases.
  • With decrease in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value increases.

The pH of the soil after testing it on a kit comes out be 5.0, but they both need pH of the soil to 6.5.

Comparison of pH of soil:

  =  5.0 < 6.5

= High hydrogen ion concentration > High hydrogen ion concentration

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base .Doing so will decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in the soil (where as addition of acid lower the pH of soil).

An unknown compound is processed using elemental analysis and found to contain 117.4g of platinum 28.91 carbon and 33.71g nitrog
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1 mole of platinum

Explanation:

To obtain the number of mole(s) of platinum present, we need to determine the empirical formula for the compound.

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:

Platinum (Pt) = 117.4 g

Carbon (C) = 28.91 g

Nitrogen (N) = 33.71 g

Divide by their molar mass

Pt = 117.4 / 195 = 0.602

C = 28.91 / 12 = 2.409

N = 33.71 / 14 = 2.408

Divide by the smallest

Pt = 0.602 / 0.602 = 1

C = 2.409 / 0.602 = 4

N = 2.408 / 0.602 = 4

The empirical formula for the compound is PtC₄N₄ => Pt(CN)₄

From the formula of the compound (i.e Pt(CN)₄), we can see clearly that the compound contains 1 mole of platinum.
