Answer:

25 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, based on the attached picture, you can see that the chlorate ion has three oxygen atoms and one chlorine ion, whereas you can see there is a coordination bond (two arrows) from chlorine to oxygen which means that oxygen receives two electrons from chlorine in order to complete its octet and to allow chlorine to not exceed the octet. It means there is another oxygen completes its octet via the Cl=O bond and the the last oxygen is negatively charged because it is missing one bond to attain its octet even thought chlorine actually completes its octet.

Therefore, this ion has seven valence electrons from chlorine and 18 valence electrons from the three oxygen atoms, which means it has 25 valence electrons overall.

Best regards!

Carbonic acid reacts with water to yield bicarbonate ions and hydronium ions: h2co3+h2o?hco3?+h3o+ identify the conjugate acid-b

Levart [38]

Conjugate base pairs are acid and bases having common features. These features are the equal gain or loss of protons of the pairs. Conjugate pairs should always be one base and one acid. One would not exist without the other. Conjugate acids are the substances that gains protons while conjugates bases are those that loses protons. The substances in the equilibrium reaction that is given is identified as follows:
HCO3^- + H2O <-----> CO3^2- + H3O^+
acid base conjugate base conjugate acid

HCO3^- ion is an intermediate molecule of CO2 and CO3^2-. When we add OH- to HCO3^-, we produce CO3^2-. And when we add H+ to HCO3, we produce CO2.

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?(1) 1.0 M KC1(aq) (3) 2.0 M KCl(aq)(2) 1.0 M CaC12(aq)

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

(4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq).

Explanation:

Adding solute to water elevates the boiling point.

The elevation in boiling point (ΔTb) can be calculated using the relation:

ΔTb = i.Kb.m,

where, ΔTb is the elevation in boiling point.

i is the van 't Hoff factor.

van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

Kb is the molal elevation constant of water.

m is the molality of the solution.

(1) 1.0 M KCl(aq):

i for KCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 1.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kb)(1.0 m) = 2(Kb).

(2) 2.0 M KCl(aq):

i for KCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 2.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kb)(2.0 m) = 4(Kb).

(3) 1.0 M CaCl₂(aq):

i for CaCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 1.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kb)(1.0 m) = 3(Kb).

(4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq):

i for CaCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

suppose molarity = molality, m = 2.0 m,

∴ ΔTb for (1.0 M KCl) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kb)(2.0 m) = 6(Kb).

So, the aqueous solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure is: (4) 2.0 M CaCl₂(aq).

How did scientists discover that Earth's outer core is liquid?

Sholpan [36]

They discovered this since S waves don’t travel through the earth but P waves do. P waves tend to travel faster than S waves in speed, 1&14km/s vs 1&8km/s

If an ideal gas has a pressure of 5.49 atm, a temperature of 88.78 °c, and has a volume of 22.03 l, how many moles of gas are in

kirza4 [7]

N = (PV)/RT
(T = 88.78 + 273 = 361.78K)
(R = 22.4/273 = 0.082)
= (5.49 x 22.03)/(0.082 x 361.78) = ?
Put it into the calculator. It's hard to do that on a mobile phone.
