Answer:

There are 6 non bonding pair of electrons present in Lewis structure of peroxide ion.

Explanation:

Ionic formula of peroxide ion is $O_{2}^{2-}$

Total number of valence electron present in peroxide ion is 14 (12 electrons come from two oxygen atoms and another 2 electrons come from negative charges).

After fulfilling octet rule, Lewis structure of peroxide shows that each oxygen atom contains three non bonding electron pairs and a covalent bond.

Hence there are 6 non bonding pair of electrons present in Lewis structure of peroxide ion.

Lewis structure has been given below.

Which statement accurately describes the illustration?

jasenka [17]

I'm not sure but I think it is A. image one has the most spread out particles like a gas, and b has closer together particles like a liquid or solid. since there are no choices that say A=gass and B=solid, so I am guessing it is answer A.

Flourine is found to undergo 10% radioactivity decay in 366 minutes determine its halflife

yuradex [85]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2408 min}}$

Explanation:

The integrated rate law for radioactive decay is

$\ln\dfrac{N_{0}}{N_{t}} = kt$

1. Calculate the decay constant

$\begin{array}{rcl}\ln \dfrac{100}{90} & = & k \times 366\\\\1.054 & = & 366k\\\\k & = & \dfrac{1.054 }{366}\\\\k & = & 2.879 \times 10^{-4} \text{ min}^{-1}\\\end{array}\\\\$

2. Calculate the half-life

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{k}\\\\t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{2.879 \times 10^{-4} \text{ min}^{-1}} = \text{2408 min}\\\\\text{The half-life for decay is } \boxed{\textbf{2408 min}}$

Which instrument is most often used to measure acid volume before a titration begins?

Darya [45]

<span>Good Morning!

To measure the volume of an acid we use in the laboratory an instrument called burette (a). This instrument is used to calculate the volumes of chemical solutions. At first glance, these tools may be confused with syringes, but have different functions.
