Chloral, Cl3C―CH═O, reacts with water to form the sedative and hypnotic agent chloral hydrate, Cl3C―CH(OH)2. Draw Lewis structur
1 answer:
Answer:
See attached figure.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given substances, we recall the concept of Lewis structure as such showing the bonds and valence electrons each atom has in the molecule. Thus, since chlorine atoms have seven valence electrons, carbon atoms four of them, hydrogen atoms have 1 and oxygen atoms 6, we are able to draw such Lewis dot structures, by obeying the octet as shown on the attached figure.
Best regards!

We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.
