Answer:
The structure is shown below.
Explanation:
To draw a structure first we need to know its molecular formula, which is C2H6SO for dimethyl sulfoxide. The central atom is sulfur, which is bonded to an oxygen and with two methyl groups (CH3).
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its valence shell, as so oxygen. To complete the octet of oxygen, 2 electrons will be shared by sulfur with it. So, it remains 4 electrons at the central atom. Carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs more 4 to be stable, and is already sharing 3 electrons with the hydrogens, thus, sulfur will share one electron with each one of them.
So, it will remain 2 nonbonding electrons in the central atom. According to the VSPER theory, to minimize formal charges, the structure would be a trigonal pyramid, but, the double bonding with oxygen has a large volume, then the geometry will be trigonal, as shown below.
Answer to the first one is that they are brittle. This is not true because they have strong bonds
Answer:
-54 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Given that:
A student mixed 50 ml of 1.0 M HCl and 50 ml of 1.0 M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter and calculated the molar enthalpy change of the acid-base neutralization reaction to be –54 kJ/mol
i.e
50 ml of 1.0 M HCl + 50 ml of 1.0 M NaOH -----> -54 kJ/mol
If he repeat the same experiment with :
100 ml of 1.0 M HCl + 100 ml of 1.0 M NaOH. ------> ????
From The experiment; the molar enthalpy of change of the acid-base neutralization reaction will be -54 kJ/mol
This is because : The second reaction requires 50 ml in order to neutralize the reaction, then the remaining 50 ml will be excess, Hence, there is no change in the enthalpy of the reaction.
Similarly; we can assume that :
In the first reaction; P moles of is used to liberate Q kJ heat ; then the change in molar enthalpy will be Q/P (kJ/mol).
SO; when he used 100 ml ;
then the amount of moles used is double, likewise the heat liberated will be doubled ;
So;
2P moles is used to liberate 2Q kJ heat ;
2P/2Q = Q/P ( kJ/mol) = -54 kJ/mol
