Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

First, let's explain what a Lewis structure is.

A lewis structure in short words is a draw of an atom or molecule showing how the electrons bond with another electrons of atoms, and also shows the unshared pair of electrons, which are the electrons that do not bond in the molecule. In the case of an atom, it shows all the available electrons it has to be shared and bonded with another atom to form a molecule.

With this said, in order to draw the lewis structure we need to know how many electrons the atoms involved have. To know this, we need to write the electronic configuration of the atoms, based on it's atomic number.

In the case of Hydrogen (Z = 1), Carbon (Z = 6) and Cl (Z = 17):

[H] = 1s¹     1 electron available.

[C] = 1s² 2s² 2p²   In this case, we have 4 electrons.

[Cl] = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵  In this case, 7 electrons.

Now that we have the configuration, and the available electrons, we need to draw the atoms. The Carbon is the more electronegative atom of them, so, the bonding will be formed based on this atom as the central. So the other atoms will just bond and shared a pair of electron with the carbon. The HCCl₃ can be treated as CH₄, with a tetrahedrical form.

The picture below shows the lewis structure.

Hope this helps

Sodium carbonate reacts with silver nitrate according to the following balanced equation: Na2CO3 (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → Ag2CO3 (s)
klemol [59]

Answer:

a) 2.01 g

Explanation:

  • Na₂CO₃ (s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) → Ag₂CO₃ (s) + 2NaNO₃

First we <u>convert 0.0302 mol AgNO₃ to Na₂CO₃ moles</u>, in order to <em>calculate how many Na₂CO₃ moles reacted</em>:

  • 0.0302 mol AgNO₃ * \frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molAgNO_3}  = 0.0151 mol Na₂CO₃

So the remaining Na₂CO₃ moles are:

  • 0.0340 - 0.0151 = 0.0189 moles Na₂CO₃

Finally we <u>convert Na₂CO₃ moles into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 0.0189 moles Na₂CO₃ * 106 g/mol = 2.003 g Na₂CO₃

The closest answer is option a).

Answer:

Explanation:

What you know is that the electrical energy comes from the wind turbine. Therefore the x must identify the type of energy that the wind turbine represents.

It must represent mechanical energy because blades of  the wind turbine turns to produce electrical energy.

Which is more reactive oxygen or hydrogen? explain why?
mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Which is more reactive hydrogen or oxygen?

Hydrogen is not particularly reactive. For example, just mixing hydrogen and oxygen gas will not cause a reaction at room temperature, but many metal elements oxidize at least on the surface in air. ... It is combustible because oxygen wants electrons and takes them from hydrogen to form water.

Phosphine, an extremely poisonous and highly reactive gas, reacts with oxygen gas to form tetraphosphorus decaoxide and water. p
Andreas93 [3]

The molar mass of PH3 is 34 g/mol, therefore the moles is:

moles PH3 = 225 g / (34 g/mol)

moles PH3 = 6.62 mol

 

The balanced equation is:

4PH3(g) + 8O2(g) → P4O10(g) + 6H2O

 

We see that 4 mol of PH3 is required for every mol of P4O10, therefore the number of moles of P4O10 is:

moles P4O10 = 6.62 mol * (1/4)

moles P4O10 = 1.65 mol

 

The molar mass of P4O10 is 283.89 g/mol, so the mass is:

mass P4O10 = 1.65 mol * 283.89 g/mol

mass P4O10 = 469.67 grams ~ 470 grams
