Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

"A formal charge (FC) is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity" (chemlibretext).

We can obtain the formal charge from the formula;

Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + 1/2number of bonds].

A structure in which SO2 has a zero formal charge is attached to this answer.

A chemist prepares a solution of iron chloride by measuring out of into a volumetric flask and filling to the mark with distille
myrzilka [38]

Complete Question:

A chemist prepares a solution of iron chloride by measuring out 0.10 g of FeCl2 into a 50. mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the molarity of anions in the chemist's solution.

Answer:

[Fe+] = 0.0156 M

[Cl-] = 0.0316 M

Explanation:

The molar mass of iron chloride is 126.75 g/mol, thus, the number of moles presented in 0.10 g of it is:

n = mass/molar mass

n = 0.10/126.75

n = 7.89x10⁻⁴ mol

In a solution, it will dissociate to form:

FeCl2 -> Fe+  + 2Cl-

So, the stoichiometry is 1:1:2, and the number of moles of the ions formed are:

nFe+ = 7.89x10⁻⁴ mol

nCl- = 2*7.89x10⁻⁴  = 1.58x10⁻³ mol

The molarity is the number of moles divided by the solution volume, in L (50.0 mL = 0.05 L):

[Fe+] = 7.89x10⁻⁴/0.05 = 0.0156 M

[Cl-] = 1.58x10⁻³/0.05 = 0.0316 M

A chemical equation is shown:
Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

C2H4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

eqn is unbalanced - balancing by counting no. of C n H atoms

C=2 n H=4 in one C2H4

so the reaction will form two CO2 + two H2O

counting no. of O atoms: 2*2 + 2*1

=4+2

How do you do this problem?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Ag₂CrO₄(s) + H⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Ag⁺(aq) + HCrO₄⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Ag₂CrO₄(s) ⇌ 2Ag⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq).

Silver chromate is the salt of a strong base (AgOH) and a weak acid (H₂CrO₄).

HCrO₄⁻ is an even weaker acid than H₂CrO₄, so CrO₄²⁻ is a strong base.

Any added H⁺ will immediately combine with the chromate ions according to the reaction

H⁺ + CrO₄²⁻ ⟶ HCrO₄⁻

thereby removing chromate ions from solution.

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, more silver chromate will dissolve to replace the chromate ions that the H⁺  removes.

The overall equation for the reaction is

Ag₂CrO₄(s) ⇌ 2Ag⁺(aq) + <em>CrO₄²⁻(aq) </em>

<u>H⁺(aq) + </u><em><u>CrO₄²⁻(aq)</u></em><u> ⟶ HCrO₄⁻(aq) </u>

Ag₂CrO₄(s) + H⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Ag⁺(aq) + HCrO₄⁻(aq)
