The Lewis structure of P₄ is shown in 3-D form. The two bottom corner P atoms are facing right in front of us, one P atom behind the two, and one P above it. Each line represents 2 electrons. When you add the lone electrons, you get a total of 20 valence electrons.
Formal charge of each P: 5 - (2 +1/2*6) = 0
Average atomic mass of an element is a sum of the product of the isotope mass and its relative abundance.
For example: Chlorine has 2 isotopes with the following abundances
Cl(35): Atomic mass = 34.9688 amu; Abundance = 75.78%
Cl(37): Atomic mass = 36.9659 amu; Abundance = 24.22 %
Average atomic mass of Cl = 34.9688(0.7578) + 36.9659(0.2422) =
= 26.4993 + 8.9531 = 35.4524 amu
Thus, the term “ average atomic mass “ is a <u>weighted</u> average so it is calculated differently from a normal average
Answer: False
Explanation:
4C2H6 + 7O2 --> 6H2O + 4CO2
8 Carbons on the reactant side, but 4 Carbons on the Product
24 Hydrogens on Reactant, 12 H on product
But Oxygen is balanced, 14 on each side
Since you didn't give the actual volume (or any of the experimental values) I can only tell you how to do it. Do the calculation using the real (determined) volume of the flask. Then, re-do the calculation with v = 125ml. Take the two values and calculate % error; m = measured vol; g = guessed vol.
<span>[mW (m) - mW (g)]/mW (m) x 100% </span>
<span>(they want % error so, if it is negative, just get rid of the sign) </span>
