Answer:

silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The main building block of a silicate mineral is silicon-oxygen tetrahedron. Silicon-oxygen tetrahedron belongs to the anionic group and the silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atom, arranged to determine the edges of a tetrahedron.

This silicate ion consists of one silicon atom, placed in the middle of a tetrahedron and surrounded by four oxygen atom, placed at vertices of a tetrahedron.

A sample of a compound containing boron (B) and hydrogen (H) contains 5.443 g of B and 1.522 g of H. The molar mass of the compo
Svetach [21]

You are calculating the empirical formula of this chemical compound, which is the question with moles, molar mass, and number of moles.

first you divide the mass of BORON by its molar mass(relative formula mass)because there is a formula about moles state: number of moles=mass/molar mass.

So, 5.443/11 is about 0.5. Then, the RFM of H is 1, so the number of mole is 1.522/1=1.522.

Next, you get the number of moles in order is; 0.5 and 1.522. Now we need to look at the ratio between these numbers. 0.5 is smaller so we use it as the ratio of 1.  next use 1.522/0.5 is 3.044 which has a greatest common factor of 3. so the empirical formula is BH3.

Now we are going to solve the molecular formula.

the molar mass ofthis compound is 30g, so we're going to find the RFM of the empirical formulsof BH3 first.

11+3=14.

now we see how many times 14 goes into 30. 30/14=2.14 which is about 2.

So now we need to times the subscript of the empirical formula by two.

thus, the molecular formula is B2H6.


To solve this kind of  questions, there are many steps:Know what you are calculating about, it's about the molecular formula, so you need to find out the number of moles of each elements. then use the molar mass of the whole compound to calculate the molecular formula.

1) Find the RFM of the element, because that is the molar mass(mass of 1 mole) of this element.

2) number of moles= mass/molar mass. use this formula to help you get the number of moles of each element in this compound

3) look at the relationship between the number of moles of each elements. find out the ratio between them.

4) then use the molarmass of the whole compound to find the molecular formula. molar mass of the whole compound/RFM(molar mass) of the empirical formula of elements= the number you need to multiply by the subscript of the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

please tell me if i got anything wrong;)

Draw a bond-line structure for CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2.<br><br> Include Lone Pairs in your answer.
mash [69]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

A bond line structure refers to any structure of a covalent molecule wherein the covalent bonds present in the molecule are represented with a single line for each level of bond order.

The bond-line structure of CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2 has been shown in the image attached. We know that oxygen has a lone pair of electrons and this has been clearly shown also in the image attached.

Select the correct use of the compound tms in nmr spectroscopy.a. it is a signal-to-noise enhancerb. it is an internal standard
SpyIntel [72]

TMS stands for Tetramethylsilane

Formula : Si(CH₃)₄

It is used as internal standard for chemical shift

In TMS all the four methyl groups are similar thus all the 12 hydrogen are chemically equivalent. They will show proton NMR at same level and which will appear as a singlet.

We have defined this singlet to be as reference set as zero.

Generally the other organic compounds show chemical shift downfield.So have positive chemical shift with respect to TMS shift.
