For multiple covalent bonds to form in molecules, the molecules must contain carbon nitrogen or​ oxygen.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Think about carbon dioxide (CO2). If every oxygen atom imparts one electron to the carbon molecule, there will be 6 electrons in carbon particle and 7 electrons in every oxygen atom. This doesn't give the carbon atom as a total octet.
  • Sometimes more than one set of electrons is shared between two atoms. In carbon dioxide, a second electron from every oxygen atom is likewise imparted with the central carbon atom, and the carbon particle imparts one more electron with every oxygen atom.
  • Two sets of electrons shared between two atoms make a double bond between the atoms. A few particles contain triple bonds, covalent bonds in which three sets of electrons are shared by two atoms.

21+ Cl2 → 12+201 -
Alina [70]

Answer:

\rm 2\; I^{-} + Cl_2 \to I_2 + 2 \; Cl^{-}.

Start color: yellowish-green.

End color: dark purple.

Assumption: no other ion in the solution is colored.

Explanation:

In this reaction, chlorine gas \rm Cl_2 oxidizes iodine ions \rm I^{-} to elemental iodide \rm I_2. At the same time, the chlorine atoms are converted to chloride ions \rm Cl^{-}.

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are all halogens. They are all found in the 17th column of the periodic table from the left. One similarity is that their anions are not colored. However, their elemental forms are typically colored. Besides, moving down the halogen column, the color becomes darker for each element.

Among the reactants of this reaction, \rm I^{-} is colorless. If there's no other colored ion, only the yellowish-green hue of \rm Cl_2 would be visible. Hence the initial color of the reaction would be the yellowish-green color of \rm Cl_2.

Similarly, among the products of this reaction, \rm Cl^{-} is colorless. If there's no other colored ion, only the dark purple hue of \rm I_2 would be visible. Hence the initial color of the reaction would be the dark purple color of \rm I_2.

Which substance has a coefficient of 2 when you balance the equation for this redox reaction? cu(s) + hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) +
Mama L [17]
In this redox reaction, the Cu goes from oxidation state of (0) to (+2), therefore it oxidises. N in HNO₃ goes from oxidation state of (+5) to N in NO with oxidation state of (+2) and becomes reduced. 
Cu acts as the reducing reagent and HNO₃ is the oxidising agent.
oxidation half reaction
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e  --1)
reduction half reaction 
4H⁺ + 3e + NO₃⁻ ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
to balance the number of electrons , 1) x3 and 2) x2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 6e + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 2NO + 4H₂O 
add the 2 equations 
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --->  3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
add 6 nitrate ions to both sides to add up to 8 and form acid with 8H⁺ ions
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --->  3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
Balanced equation for the redox reaction is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) → 3Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O<span>(l)

NO has a coefficient of 2

If the pressure changes from 1 atm to 3 atm, what does the volume of 30 L change to
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 10L

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial pressure P1 = 1 atm

New pressure P2 = 3 atm

Initial volume V2 = 30 L

New volume V2 = ?

Since pressure and volume are involved, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

1 atm x 30L = 3 atm x V2

30 atm L = 3 atm x V2

V2 = (30 atm L / 3 atm)

V2 = 10L

Thus, volume changed to 10 liters
