What geometric shape is the carbon dioxide molecule? The Lewis structure for CO2 contains two double bonds.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Linear

Explaination: The central atom of a carbon dioxide molecule is carbon. Carbon is tetravalent which just means it has 4 valence electrons. Because the valence shell isn’t full, the carbon atom can bond with other atoms creating a total of 4 bonds. This then allows the carbon to double bond with 2 oxygen atoms. Now, the atoms in the CO2 molecule Don’t share the electrons evenly because of atomic number or proton count. Because oxygen has an atomic number of 6, carbon has an atomic number of 4, and opposites attract (referring to the positivity of the nucleus and the negativity of the shared electrons), the oxygen atoms will have a slightly negative charge (-) and the oxygen will have a slightly positive charge (+ ). Therefore, the slightly negative oxygen atoms repel creating that linear shape.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).

Terms:

Cation: a positively charged ion
Anion: a negatively charge ion.
Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Romashka [77]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A compound is 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.7% N and 38.1% O by mass. Addition of 6.45 g of this compound to 50.0 mL benzene, C₆H₆ (d= 0.879 g/mL; Kf= 5.12 degrees Celsius/m), lowers the freezing point from 5.53 to 1.37 degrees Celsius. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

Answer : The molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of benzene.

$\text{Mass of benzene}=\text{Density of benzene}\times \text{Volume of benzene}$

$\text{Mass of benzene}=0.879g/mL\times 50.0mL=43.95g$

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of unknown compound.

Given:

Mass of unknown compound (solute) = 6.45 g

Mass of benzene (solvent) = 43.95 g = 0.04395 kg

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m\\\\\Delta T_f=K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of unknown compound}}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times \text{Mass of benzene in Kg}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point = $5.53-1.37=4.16^oC$

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of benzene

Molal-freezing-point-depression constant $(K_f)$ for benzene = $5.12^oC/m$

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$4.16^oC=(5.12^oC/m)\times \frac{6.45g}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times 0.04395kg}$

$\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}=180.6g/mol$

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 42.9 g

Mass of H = 2.4 g

Mass of N = 16.7 g

Mass of O = 38.1 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.575moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{2.4g}{1g/mole}=2.4moles$

Moles of N = $\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.7g}{14g/mole}=1.193moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{38.1g}{16g/mole}=2.381moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{3.575}{1.193}=2.99\approx 3$

For H = $\frac{2.4}{1.193}=2.01\approx 2$

For N = $\frac{1.193}{1.193}=1$

For O = $\frac{2.381}{1.193}=1.99\approx 2$

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 3 : 2 : 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = $C_3H_2N_1O_2$

The empirical formula weight = 3(12) + 2(1) + 1(14) + 2(16) = 84 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{180.6}{84}=2$

Molecular formula = $(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_n=(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_2=C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_4N_2O_4$

450g of chromium(iii) sulfate reacts with excess potassium phosphate. How many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced? (ANS

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

600 g K₂SO₄

Explanation:

First write down the complete, balanced chemical equation for such question. In this case:

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ → 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

Next, calculate molar masses of required compounds mentioned in the question. In this case it is for Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and K₂SO₄.

Molar mass(MM) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃:

= 2*(MM of Cr) + 3*( MM of S) + 3*4*( MM of O)

= 2*(52) + 3*(32) + 12*(16)

= 104 + 96 + 192

= 392 g

Molar mass(MM) of K₂SO₄:

= 2*(MM of K) + 1*( MM of S) + 4*( MM of O)

= 2*(39) + 32 + 4*(16)

= 78 + 32 + 64

= 174 g

Here comes the concept of Limiting reagent:

The limiting reagent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. The other reactants present with this are usually in excess and called excess reactants. If quantities of both the reactants are given, then one should apply unitary method and find out the limiting reagent out of the two. Then, determine the amount of product formed or percentage yield.

Also, 1 mole( 392 g) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 3 moles( 174*3 = 522 g) of K₂SO₄.

Using unitary method, if 392g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 522 g of K₂SO₄ , then 450 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ will give how much of K₂SO₄?

Yeild of K₂SO₄ : $\frac{522 * 450}{392}$

That is 599.3 g.

Since we have not considered molecular masses of individual atoms to 6 decimal places, this number can be approximated to 600g.

Therefore, 600g of K₂SO₄ is produced.

Determine the mass of a ball with a wavelength of 3.45 × 10-34 m and a velocity of 6.55 m/s

Yuki888 [10]

<span>293 grams The formula for the wavelength of a massive particle is Î» = h/p where Î» = wavelength h = Plank constant (6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s) p = momentum (mass times velocity) So let's solve for momentum and from there get the mass Î» = h/p Î»p = h p = h/Î» Substitute known values and solve p = 6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s/3.45Ă—10^-34 m p = 1.92 J*s/m Since momentum is the product of mass and velocity, we have p = M * V p/V = M So substitute again, and solve. p/V = M 1.92 J*s/m / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 0.293 kg = M So the mass is 293 grams</span>
