You simply can't "add" a lone pair of electrons to a molecule or polyatomic ion. The substance will simply have all the electrons the atoms came with. 

<span>Lone pairs on the central atom will change the geometry about the central atom according to the rules of VSEPR theory. Lone pairs will also distort the geometry predicted by VSEPR theory. Lone pairs are not "centered" between to atoms, but tend to "wrap around" the central atom and force the bonding pairs of electrons closer together, thus, causing the distortion in the geometry. </span>

<span>VSEPR == valence shell electron-pair repulsion. It's all about the repulsion of the valence electron pairs. They get as far apart as possible, and that establishes the electron-pair geometry. From the electron pair geometry we get the molecular geometry and bond angles. </span>

How many grams of argon would it take to fill a large light bulb with a volume of 0.745 L at STP?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Mass = 1.33 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of argon required = ?

Volume of bulb = 0.745 L

Temperature and pressure = standard

Solution:

We will calculate the number of moles of argon first.

Formula:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

By putting values,

1 atm ×0.745 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K× 273.15 K

0.745 atm. L = n × 22.43 atm.L/mol

n = 0.745 atm. L / 22.43 atm.L/mol

n = 0.0332 mol

Mass of argon:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.0332 mol × 39.95 g/mol

Mass = 1.33 g

Carbonic acid reacts with water to yield bicarbonate ions and hydronium ions: h2co3+h2o?hco3?+h3o+ identify the conjugate acid-b
Levart [38]
Conjugate base pairs are acid and bases having common features. These features are the equal gain or loss of protons of the pairs. Conjugate pairs should always be one base and one acid. One would not exist without the other. Conjugate acids are the substances that gains protons while conjugates bases are those that loses protons. <span>The substances in the equilibrium reaction that is given is identified as follows: 
HCO3^-      +     H2O <----->   CO3^2-          +             H3O^+ 
 acid                   base         conjugate base           conjugate acid 

HCO3^- ion is an intermediate molecule of CO2 and CO3^2-. When we add OH- to HCO3^-, we produce CO3^2-. And when we add H+ to HCO3, we produce CO2. </span>

At the equivalence point of a titration of the [H+] concentration is equal to:
icang [17]

B. At the equivalence point of a titration of the [H+] concentration is equal to 7.

<h3>What is equivalence point of a titration?</h3>

The equivalence point of a titration is a point in titration at which the amount of titrant added is just enough to completely neutralize the analyte solution.

At the equivalence point in an acid-base titration, moles of base equals moles of acid and the solution only contains salt and water.

At the equivalence point, equal amounts of H+ and OH- ions combines as shown below;

H⁺ + OH⁻  → H₂O

The pH of resulting solution is 7.0 (neutral).

Thus, the pH at the equivalence point for this titration will always be 7.0.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

3.4\times 10^3 eggs are produces are in a month.

Explanation:

Quantity of eggs produced by the chicken in a month = 284 dozens

1 dozen = 12 eggs

Number of eggs in a month:

284 dozens = 284\times 12 eggs =3,408 eggs\approx 3.4\times 10^3 eegs

3.4\times 10^3 eggs are produces are in a month.
