The Lewis structure of Chloroacetate (H₂CClCO₂) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with CH₂Cl and O⁻.

Formal Charge;
Formal charge is caculated as,

Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]

Formal charge on Oxygen (Highlighted Red);

Formal charge = 6 - [ 6 + 2/2]

Formal charge = 6 - [6 + 1]

Formal charge = 6 - [7]

Formal charge = -1

How many moles of H2O form when 4.5 moles O2 reacts?

mart [117]

Explanation:

Start with a balanced equation.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Assuming that H2 is in excess, multiply the given moles H2O by the mole ratio between O2 and H2O in the balanced equation so that moles H2O cancel.

5 mol H2O × (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 2.5 mol O2

Answer: 2.5 mol O2 are needed to make 5 mol H2O, assuming H2 is in excess.

Determine the oxidation state of each of the following species.<br> Pb2+

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Pb oxidation number is +2

C in CH4 is -4. H is +1. 4H + 1C = 0. ; 4(+1) + C = 0 ; C = -4

O is usually -2. 3O = 3(-2) = -6. ; 2Fe =. +6 ; each Fe is +3

2Ag = +2 since O = -2 ; each Ag = +1

How many grams of MgCl2 (molar mass = 95.20 g/mol) will be formed from 25.6 mL of a 0.100 M HCL solution reacting with excess ma

lorasvet [3.4K]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1
we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol
according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2
Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol
mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g

When magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is formed: 2HCl + Mg → H2 + MgCl2. What is the volume of hydrogen pro

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:- C. 16.4 L

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

$2HCl+Mg\rightarrow H_2+MgCl_2$

From this equation, there is 2:1 mol ratio between HCl and hydrogen gas. First of all we calculate the moles of hydrogen gas from given grams of HCl using stoichiometry and then the volume of hydrogen gas could be calculated using ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT.

Molar mass of HCl = 1.008 + 35.45 = 36.458 gram per mol

The calculations are shown below:

$49.0gHCl(\frac{1molHCl}{36.458gHCl})(\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl})$

= $0.672molH_2$

Now we will use ideal gas equation to calculate the volume.

n = 0.672 mol

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

P = 101.3 kPa = 1 atm

R = $0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}$

PV = nRT

1(V) = (0.672)(0.0821)(298)

V = 16.4 L

From calculations, 16.4 L of hydrogen gas are formed and so the correct choice is C.
