Answer:

Lewis structure of Hydronium ion is shown below :

Explanation:

Lewis structure : It is a representation of valence electrons on the atoms in a molecule

Here , Hydronium ion is given , which contains 1 atom of oxygen and 3 atoms of hydrogen .

Oxygen has a total of 6 valence electrons and hydrogen contains 1 valence electron .

Oxygen share its 3 valence electrons with 3 hydrogen atoms and left with 3 valence electrons. From these three valence electrons of oxygen atom two electrons will be shown as a pair of electrons on oxygen atom but a single electron can not be shown . So , to simplify this, one positive charge is shown overall .

Resonance structure will be same as the hybrid structure because all three atoms are same , that is hydrogen .

What will you observe if you add cuso4 to a solution containing glucose?

arsen [322]

The blue color of copper (ii) sulfate will change to green, yellow, orange ,red and then a dark red or brown.
Glucose is a reducing sugar; reducing sugars are sugar that forms an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of an alkaline solution. Reducing sugars reduce the blue copper sulfate from the Benedict's solution to a red brown copper sulfide; which is seen as the precipitate and is responsible for the color change.

Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which _______ atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal.

UkoKoshka [18]

Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which the hydrogen atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal. The salt is formed as a result of the neutralization of the acid by base, that is the metal or positive ion replace the hydrogen ion in the acid. For instance: NaO + H2SO4 = NaSO4 + H2O. In this example, Na [sodium] has replaced the hydrogen in H2SO4, thereby forming the salt NaSO4.

Which of the temperatures below is most likely to be the boiling point of water at 880 torr?view available hint(s)which of the t

Luden [163]

Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure.

Above boiling point point, liquid get converted into vapour.

Now, boiling point of water is 100 oC at room pressure. Room pressure is equal to 760 torr. Thus, at 100 oC, vapour pressure of water becomes equal to 760 torr.

Now, if external pressure is increased to 880 torr, more heat is to be supplied so that vapour pressure of water equals 880 torr.

So, at 880 torr, boiling point of water will be more than 100 oC. In present case, most like the boiling point of water is equal to 105 oC.
