<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula is XSO_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy that is required to remove an electron from a chemical species.

The ionization energy equation for the given values follow:

X(g)\rightarrow X^+(g)+e^-;E_I=590kJ/mol

X^+(g)\rightarrow X^{2+}(g)+e^-;E_I=1145kJ/mol

X^{2+}(g)\rightarrow X^{3+}(g)+e^-;E_I=4912kJ/mol

From the values of ionization energy above, it can be seen that the ionization energy increases as every succeeding electron is removed.

Second ionization energy is a little higher than the first one but there is a huge amount of difference between the third and second ionization energy.

This implies that the ion formed during second ionization energy has a stable configuration and it requires a humongous amount of heat to release the third electron.

Hence, the ion formed will be X^{2+}

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having a chemical formula of SO_3^{2-}

An ionic compound is formed between the two ions and the chemical compound formed between the two will have a formula of XSO_3

Hence, the chemical formula is XSO_3

How many milliliters of 0.500 M NaOH should be added to 10.0 g of tris hydrochloride (FM 121.135) to give a pH of 7.60 in a fina
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

41.64mL of NaOH 0.500M must be added to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

It is possible to find pH of a buffer by using H-H equation, thus:

pH = pka + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where [HA] is concentration of the weak acid TRIS-HCl and [A⁻] is concentration of its conjugate acid.</em>

Replacing in H-H equation:

7.60 = 8.072 + log [A⁻] / [HA]

0.3373 =  [A⁻] / [HA] <em>(1)</em>

10.0g of TRIS-HCl (Molar mass: 121.135g/mol) are:

10.0g ₓ (1mol / 121.135g) = 0.08255 moles of acid. That means moles of both the acid and conjugate base are:

[A⁻] + [HA] = 0.08255 <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

0.3373 =  0.08255 - [HA] / [HA]

0.3373[HA] =  0.08255 - [HA]

1.3373[HA] = 0.08255

<em>[HA] = 0.06173 moles</em>

Thus:

[A⁻]  = 0.08255 - 0.06173 = 0.02082 moles [A⁻]

The moles of A⁻ comes from the reaction of the weak acid with NaOH, that is:

HA + NaOH → A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

Thus, <em>you need to add 0.02082 moles of NaOH to produce 0.02082 moles of A⁻. </em>As NaOH solution is 0.500M:

0.02082 moles NaOH ₓ (1L / 0.500mol) = 0.04164L of NaOH 0.500M =

Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons. Show the for
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:

In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:

Se = x

O = -2

x + (-2)*2 = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = +4.

Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.

In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

                      252.68 K  or   -20.46 °C

Explanation:

                    According to Gay-Lussac's Law, "Pressure and Temperature at given volume are directly proportional to each other".

Mathematically,

                                              P₁ / T₁  =  P₂ / T₂   ---- (1)

Data Given:

                  P₁  =  30.7 kPa

                  T₁  =  0.00 °C  =  273.15 K

                  P₂  =  28.4 kPa

                  T₂  =  <u>???</u>

Solving equation for T₂,

                  T₂  =  P₂ T₁ / P₁

Putting values,

                  T₂  =  28.4 kPa × 273.15 K / 30.7 kPa

                  T₂  =  252.68 K  or   -20.46 °C
