C6H15, C2H5 has a molar mass of 29g/mol. 87 divided by 29 is 3. Then multiply each element subscript by 3

Draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2 (Xe in middle, surrounded by I's ) that puts a 0 formal charge on all atoms. How many lo

Alona [7]

1) The Lewis structure will be:

I--I

In this structure, the xenon atom is surrounded by two iodine atoms, which are bonded to it through single bonds. Each iodine atom has one lone pair of electrons, for a total of 2 lone pairs on the central atom (xenon).

2) The molar mass of the gaseous compound is 0.416 g/mol.

To draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2, we need to first count the number of valence electrons in the molecule. Xenon is a noble gas and has 8 valence electrons, while iodine has 7 valence electrons for a total of 23 valence electrons. To satisfy the octet rule and put a 0 formal charge on all atoms, we can use the following Lewis structure:

I--I

To find the molar mass of the gaseous compound, we can use the ideal gas law:

M = dRT/P

Where M is the molar mass, d is the density, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature, and P is the pressure.

Given that the density of the gas is 0.3876 grams/142 mL = 0.002736 grams/mL, the temperature is 150 + 273 = 423 K, the pressure is 775 torr = 775/760 atm = 1.0132 atm, and the ideal gas constant is 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K.

We can calculate the molar mass as follows:

M = (0.002736 g/mL) * (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K / (1.0132 atm)) * (423 K)

M = 0.416 g/mol

The molecule CCI4 contains one double bond and three single bonds. True or False

kifflom [539]

False

Explanation: Carbon is the central atom which has valency of 4 and can form 4 bonds to complete its octet. Each chlorine has valency of 1 and can form only one bond to complete its octet. Thus carbon can bond with four chlorine atoms through sharing of electrons to form four single bonds. Thus it cannot contain a double bond.

True or False: In every gram of sucrose (table sugar) there is 0.513 g of oxygen

Ber [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Step 1: Find molecular formula of sucrose

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

Step 2: Convert moles of oxygen present to grams

1 mol O = 16 g O

11 mol O = 176 g O

Step 3: Find molar mass of sucrose

C - 12.01 g/mol

H - 1.01 g/mol

O - 16.00 g/mol

12.01(12) + 22(1.01) + 11(16.00) = 342.34 g/mol C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

Step 4: Set up dimensional analysis

$1 gC_{12}H_{22}O_{11}(\frac{176 gO}{342.34gC_{12}H_{22}O_{11}} )$

Step 5: Multiply/Divide and cancel out units

Grams of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and grams of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ cancel out.

We are left with grams Oxygen

176/342.34 = 0.514109 grams Oxygen
