Given BH3, O3, CO2, and NH3, which of these compound is an exception to the octet rules?

Chemistry

Answer:

a. BH₃

Explanation:

According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.

From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. <em>The total amount of electrons is 6</em>, <em>fewer than 8 electrons</em> needed to meet the rule.

Which equation represents a neutralization reaction?
Harrizon [31]

Answer: HCI + KOH → KCI + H20

Explanation:

HCI(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCI(aq) + H20(l)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

The above is a neutralization reaction in which an acid, aqeous HCl reacts completely with an appropriate amount of a base, aqueous KOH to produce salt, aqueous KCl and water, liquid H2O only.

This is a neutralization reaction since, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HCl is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the KOH to form the water molecule, H2O and salt, KCl only.

Critical Thinking Challenge: A student has a part time
mina [271]

Answer:

6⅔ shifts

Explanation:

From the question given:

A shift = 4 hours

Pay = $8.25 per hour

Next, we shall determine the number of hours that will result in a pay of $220. This can be obtained as follow:

$8.25 = 1 hour

Therefore,

$220 = $220 × 1 hour / $8.25

$220 = 220/8.25 hours.

$220 = 80/3 hours

$220 = 26⅔ hours

Therefore, it will take 26⅔ hours to receive a pay of $220.

Finally, we shall determine the number of shifts in 26⅔ hours. This can be obtained as follow:

4 hours = 1 shift

Therefore,

26⅔ hours = 26⅔ ÷ 4

26⅔ hours = 80/3 × 1/4

26⅔ hours = 80/12

26⅔ hours = 20/3

26⅔ hours = 6⅔ shifts

Therefore, she will work 6⅔ shifts in order to receive a pay of $220

The reaction A(B) = 2B(g) has an equilibrium constant of K = 0.045. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction B(g) =1/2A
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The  K_c for the reaction B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A will be 4.69.

Explanation:

The given equation is A(B) = 2B(g)

to evaluate equilibrium constant for B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A

            K_c=[B]^2[A]

                 = 0.045

The reverse will be 2B\leftrightharpoons A

Then,      K_c = \frac{[A]}{[B]^2}

                    =  \frac{1}{0.045}

                    = 22m^{-1}

The equilibrium constant for B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A will be

               K_c = \sqrt{K_c}

                    =\sqrt{22}

                    = 4.69

Therefore, K_c for the reaction B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A will be 4.69.
