Answer : A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

Explanation :

According to the Lewis acid-base theory,

Lewis acid : It is a substance that can accepts pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

Lewis-base : It is a substance that can donates pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

For example :

$H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O$

In this reaction, $H^+$ ion is Lewis-acid and $OH^-$ ion is a Lewis-base. The $OH^-$ ion donates electrons to $H^+$ ion to form $H_2O$ .

Hence, a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a Lewis base. It is any substance that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons with no change of oxidation numbers of any atoms.

What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.

Answer:

Q.1

Given-

Volume of solution-1 L

Molarity of solution -6M

to find gms of AgNO3-?

Molarity = number of moles of solute/volume of solution in litre

number of moles of solute = 6×1= 6moles

one moles of AgNO3 weighs 169.87 g

so mass of 6 moles of AgNO3 = 169.87×6=1019.22

so you need 1019.22 g of AgNO3 to make 1.0 L of a 6.0 M solution

Which is also known as artificial (synthetic) silk

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Rayon is a synthetic fiber or man-made fiber or artificial fiber as it is prepared from the natural raw material called cellulose. ... The kind of rayon fibers which imitate the feel and texture of natural silk is therefore termed as 'artificial silk'.

A volume of 25.36 ± 0.05 mL 25.36±0.05 mL of HNO 3 HNO3 solution was required for complete reaction with 0.8311 ± 0.0007 g 0.831

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

MOLARITY= 0.3092mol/l

ABSOLUTE UNCERTAINTY= 0.000873

Explanation:

The equation of reaction is

2HNO3 + Na2CO3 ⟶ 2NaNO3 + H2O + CO2.

QUESTION1: CALCULATION FOR MOLARITY;

Molarity= gram mole of solute ÷ liters of solution

Where;

Mole of solute= mass ÷ molar mass

Therefore;

Mole of solute= 0.8311g ÷ 105.988g/mol= 0.0078515mol

MOLARITY= 0.0078415mol ÷ 25.36ml = 0.0003092mol/ml = 0.3092mol/l

This is the Molarity of the solution

QUESTION2: CALCULATION FOR ABSOLUTE UNCERTAINTY;

Uncertainty (u) =√([0.05 ÷ 25.36]^2 + [0.001 ÷ 105.988]^2 + [0.0007 ÷ 0.8311]^2) × Molarity

Solving brackets gives

(0.00197161+0.00000943503+0.00084226) ×Molarity

Adding up gives

0.002823×Molarity

Therefore;

ABSOLUTE UNCERTAINTY= 0.002823×0.3092= 0.000873
