Answer:

explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Our aim is to draw a structure of XeO2F2 whith the least formal charges. We must remember that the compound has 34 valence electrons.

To obtain the least formal charges then Xe must have a total of twelve electrons on its valence shell instead of eight.

The other atoms around the central Xe atom are arranged as shown in the image attached.

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0 ∘c to water at 60.0∘c is ________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wat
guajiro [1.7K]
First, we have to get:

1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:

according to q formula:

q1 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass

                                             =  1 mol * 18 mol/g

                                            = 18 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K

and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C

by substitution:

∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C

       = 1881 J = 1.881 KJ

2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :

q2 = n*ΔHfus 

when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol

and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol

by substitution:

q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol

     = 6.01 KJ

3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:

q3 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of water = 18 g 

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K

ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C

by substitution:

∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C

      = 4514 J = 4.514 KJ

∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3

                                                  = 1.881 KJ  +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ

                                                  = 12.405 KJ

Why are nanowhiskers used to repel stains on fabrics??
WINSTONCH [101]

Nanowhiskers or cellulose nanofibers are nano-structured cellulose produced by bacteria. They have relatively high crystallinity and ability to form a dense network held together by inter-fibrillar bonds that has the tendency to act as a barrier through their film-forming properties to which they can repel stains on fabric.

use the heisenberg uncertainty principle to calculate the uncertainity in meters in the position of 0.68g and traveling at a vel
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

7.7439×10⁻³¹ m

Explanation:

The expression for Heisenberg uncertainty principle is:

\Delta x\times \Delta v=\frac {h}{4\times \pi\times m}

Where m is the mass of the microscopic particle

h is the Planks constant

Δx is the uncertainty in the position

Δv is the uncertainty in the velocity

Given:

mass = 0.68 g = 0.68×10⁻³ kg

Δv = 0.1 m/s

Δx= ?

Applying the above formula as:

\Delta x\times 0.1=\frac {6.62\times 10^{-34}}{4\times \frac {22}{7}\times 0.68\times 10^{-3}}

<u>Δx = 7.7439×10⁻³¹ m</u>
