When a compound such as X2Z4 is created, what would be the correct simplified chemical formula?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

XZ2

Explanation:

There are different ways in which compounds can be represented. Broadly, we have three different types of formula;

- Structural formular: This shows how th atoms in te compound are connected to each other.

- Molecular formular: This shows the actual number of atoms of element present in the compound

- Empirical Formular: This is the simplest formular of a compound. It basically shows the number of atoms in simple ration to each other.

This question requires us to input the empirical formular;

X2Z4

The ratio of the elements is; 2 : 4 which can be simplified into 1 : 2

This means the empirical formular is XZ2

. how many lone pairs of electrons are present in the lewis structure of calcium sulfide?
miv72 [106K]
Answer:
            <u>Four</u>

Explanation:
                     Calcium Sulfide is an ionic compound made up of Ca²⁺ and S²⁻.
Ca²⁺ is formed as,

                                   Ca    →    Ca²⁺  +  2 e⁻

These two electrons are accepte by Sulfur as,

                                     S  +  2 e⁻    →    S²⁻

So, before accepting 2 electrons S was having six valence electrons, after accepting two electrons from Ca it has 8 electrons which are present in four pairs as shown below,

identify the kind of chemical catalysis and then identify which of the given amino acids can act as a catalyst for the reaction.
Agata [3.3K]

The kind of chemical catalysis is covalent catalysis and among the given amino acids lysine will act as a catalyst for the reaction.

The generation of iminium ions in the transition state of the reaction confirms that it is a covalent catalysis. lysine is the only amino acid that can catalyze the iminium ion generated in the transition state of the reaction.

So the answer for the type of catalysis is covalent catalysis, and the answer for the type of amino acid among the given amino acids that can catalyze the reaction is lysine.

Calculate the amount of gold deposited when a current of 5A is passed through a solution of gold salt for 2hrs 15mins. If the sa
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a. 82.68 g b. 9.8 min

Explanation:

a. The amount of gold deposited by 5 A current in 2 hrs 15 mins

Since charge Q = It where I = current = 5 A and time = 2 hrs 15 mins = 2 × 60 min + 15 min = 120 + 15 min = 135 min = 135 × 60 s = 8100 s

Q = 5 A × 8100 s

= 40500 C

Also, Q = nF where n = number of moles of gold deposited and F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

n = Q/F = 40500 C/96500 C = 0.4195 moles ≅ 0.42 mole

Now n = m/M where m = mass of gold and M = molar mass of gold = 197

m = nM

= 0.42 × 197 g

= 82.68 g

b. The time taken for 6g of gold to be deposited.

We first find the number of moles of gold in 6g of gold

Since n = m/M and m = 6 g

n = 6/197 = 0.0305 mole

Q = It = nF

t = nF/I

= 0.0305 mol × 96500 C/5 A

= 2939.09 mol C

= 587.82 s

Changing t to minutes

587.82/60 s = 9.8 min
