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.

Why is the Lithium ion (Li+1) stable even though it does not have an octet?
Elan Coil [88]
I think Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

2. A student has a centrifuge tube containing 14.0 g of t-butanol and is asked to make a 1.2 m solution of ethanol/t-butanol. Ho
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

0.774g of ethanol

0.970mL of ethanol

Explanation:

Molality is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and kg of solvent.

In the problem, you need to prepare a 1.2m solution of ethanol (Solute) in t-butanol (solvent).

14.0g of butanol are <em>0.014kg </em>and as you want to prepare the 1.2m solution, you need to add:

0.014kg × (1.2moles / kg) = 0.0168 moles of solute = Moles of ethanol

To convert moles of ethanol to mass you require molar mass (Molar mass ethanol, C₂H₅OH = 46.07g/mol). Thus, mass of 0.0168 moles are:

0.0168moles Ethanol ₓ (46.07g / mol) =

<h3>0.774g of ethanol</h3>

And to convert mass in g to mL you require density of the substance (Density of ethanol = 0.798g/mL):

0.774g ₓ (1mL / 0.798g) =

<h3>0.970mL of ehtanol</h3>
