What is the Lewis structure for H2Se

S_A_V [24]

Basically since there’s 2 hydrogen’s there will be two H’s on either side of your other element. And Se is in group 6 which means it has 6 valence electrons. When you combine 6 and 2 from the hydrogen you get 8. You then should place 8 dots around Se two on each side.

So something like H Se(with 8 dogs around it) H

Determine the empirical formulas for compounds with the following percent compositions:

Elis [28]

Answer:

For a: The empirical formula of the compound is $P_2O_5$

For b: The empirical formula of the compound is $KH_2PO_4$

Explanation:

For a:

We are given:

Percentage of P = 43.6 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Phosphorus = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{43.6g}{31g/mole}=1.406moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{56.4g}{16g/mole}=3.525moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.406 moles.

For Phosphorus = $\frac{1.406}{1.406}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.525}{1.406}=2.5$

Converting the moles in whole number ratio by multiplying it by '2', we get:

For Phosphorus = $1\times 2=2$

For Oxygen = $2.5\times 2=5$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of P : O = 2 : 5

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $P_2O_5$

For b:

We are given:

Percentage of K = 28.7 %

Percentage of H = 1.5 %

Percentage of P = 22.8 %

Percentage of O = 56.4 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of K = 28.7 g

Mass of H = 1.5 g

Mass of P = 43.6 g

Mass of O = 56.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Potassium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Potassium}}{\text{Molar mass of Potassium}}=\frac{28.7g}{39g/mole}=0.736moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of hydrogen}}=\frac{1.5g}{1g/mole}=1.5moles$

Moles of Phosphorus = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of Phosphorus}}=\frac{22.8g}{31g/mole}=0.735moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{47g}{16g/mole}=2.9375moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.735 moles.

For Potassium = $\frac{0.736}{0.735}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.5}{0.735}=2.04\approx 2$

For Phosphorus = $\frac{0.735}{0.735}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{2.9375}{0.735}=3.99\approx 4$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of K : H : P : O = 1 : 2 : 1 : 4

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $KH_2PO_4$

How would one convert 5 decades to months

mel-nik [20]

A decade is 10 years. Therefore you must first multiply ten by five to get 50. After you multiply the 12 months in a year by the 50 years. Your answer should be 600

According to the rate law, how do concentrations affect rate?

jekas [21]

Higher the concentration, the faster the reaction would occur thus higher the rate because there would be more amount of reactants for the reaction to occur and more particles would frequently collide to produce the products quickly.
