Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The Lewis structure of a substance is otherwise known as its dot electron structure. It gives an immediate picture of the bonding and number of electron pairs in the molecule. The diagram shows only the valence electrons on each of the bonding atoms in the molecule and how they combine to form the molecule under consideration.

The correct Lewis structure for CO2 is shown in the image attached. CO2 has 16 valence electrons. This can be verified by counting the number of dots in the image attached.

4 g of ag2so4 will dissolve in 1l of water. calculate the solubility product (ksp) for silver (i) sulfate.

Bas_tet [7]

Reaction of dissociation: Ag₂SO₄ → 2Ag⁺ + SO₄²⁻.
m(Ag₂SO₄) = 4 g.
V(Ag₂SO₄) = 1 l.
n(Ag₂SO₄) = m(Ag₂SO₄) ÷ M(Ag₂SO₄).
n(Ag₂SO₄) = 4 g ÷ 311,8 g/mol.
n(Ag₂SO₄) = 0,0128 mol.
n(Ag⁺) = 2 · 0,0128 mol = 0,0256 mol.
n(Ag₂SO₄) = n(SO₄²⁻) = 0,0128 mol.
c(Ag⁺) = n ÷ V = 0,0256 mol ÷ 1 l = 0,0256 mol/l.
Ksp = c(Ag⁺)² · c(SO₄²⁻).
Ksp = (0,0256 mol/l)² · 0,0128 mol/l.
Ksp = 8,3·10⁻⁶.

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: $Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+$

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

If maltose undergoes hydrolysis what subunits does it results to?

Levart [38]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Two glucose molecules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Maltose is a disaccharide that is made up of two glucose molecules joined with an alpha(1-4) bond.
<em><u>Maltose is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch, a polysaccharide, catalyzed by the enzyme amylase. Maltose is then hydrolyzed by the enzyme maltase to produce two molecules of d-glucose.</u></em>
<em><u>The enzyme maltase efficiently catalyses the hydrolysis of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. </u></em>
