Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry an acid is defined as the specie which is able to donate hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

For example, HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

On the other hand, bases are the species which are able to donate hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.

For example, NaOH \rightarrow Na^{+} + OH^{-}

In CH_{3}CH_{2}OH compound, when it will lose hydrogen ion then it will result in the formation of a CH_{3}CH_{2}O^{-} (alkoxide ion). As the carbon atoms are donating their positive charge towards the O^{-} ion so, it will become unstable in nature.

As a result, it will neither give a hydrogen ion or a hydroxide ion.

In CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}, there is no difference in the electronegativity of both carbon and hydrogen atoms. Therefore, this compound is not polar in nature hence, it will neither give a hydrogen or hydroxide ion.

In CH_{3}CO_{2}CH_{3} there is presence of no -OH group. Hence, it will neither give a hydroxide or hydrogen ion.

Thus, we can conclude that none of the given compounds will act as an acid or a base.

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (Round to 2 significant figures.)
shepuryov [24]
Mass = mr x moles
Mr of CuCl2 = ( 63.5) + ( 35.5 x 2) = 134.5
2.5 = 134.5 x moles
2.5 / 134.5 = moles
Moles = 0.019 (2DP)

0.25g of Al
Mr of Al = 27
0.25 = 27 x moles
0.25/ 27 = 0.0093 moles (2sf)

Hope this helps :)

Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atom
Rzqust [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of RbIO_2  is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, RbIO_2

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in RbIO_2 = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that RbIO_2  is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.
