1. Find its coordination figure/coordination number of central atom (CF)
Ev = Vallence electron of central atom
Σe = electrons donated from substituents
Terminal O gives 0 electrons, hence Σe = 3 x 0
charge = charge of the compound
2. Find EP (electron pairs) and LP (lone pairs)
LP = CF - EP
3. Draw the skeleton with octet substituents (top right figure)
4. Find formal charge for each atoms (Qf)
5. Write formal charge near atom in skeleton
6. Enjoy
The usual units of density are g/cm.
You may have also seen g/mL used for density. Keep in mind that 1 cm = 1 mL.
<u>Answer:</u> The volume of water required is 398 mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:
We are given:
Mass of solute (manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate) = 16 g
Molar mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 251 g/mol
Molarity of solution = 0.16 M
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the volume of water required is 398 mL
Using dimensional analysis, we can find the moles of strontium by comparing the mass of strontium to it's atomic mass.
You can find the atomic mass of Sr on the periodic table:
Atomic Mass Sr = 87.62g/mol
In case you are not familiar, dimensional analysis works like this:
(what we know) x (conversion factor) = what we are looking for
The conversion factor compares the units of what we know to the units of what we are looking for. In this case, the conversion factor is:
1 mol/87.62g
The important thing to note about the conversion factor is that you want to be able to cancel out the units of your given measurement (in this case, it is the mass)
So, our full solution will be:
moles Sr = (175.24 g)x(1 mol/87.62 g)
(cancel out the mass units)
moles Sr = 175.24 x 1 mol/87.62
= 2.00 mol Sr
Hope this helped you!
