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.

When monovalent cation (X) binds to divalent anion (Y) it will form
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

When a monovalent cation X binds to a divalent anion Y, a compound with the formula X_2Y would be formed.

A monovalent cation is an atom that has lost an electron. Hence, such cation has a single positive charge. A monovalent cation X will, thus, be X^+

A divalent anion is an atom that has gained two electrons. Such anion has 2 negative charge. Thus, divalent Y would be Y^2^-

Since Y is a divalent anion, it requires 2 electrons in order to successfully bind with another charged atom, a cation to be specific. Thus, two of  X^+ would be required to successfully bind  Y^2^-

   Y^2^- + X^+ + X^+ ----> X_2Y

If a gas is cooled from 343.0 K to 283.15 K and the volume is kept constant what final pressure would result if the original pre
mario62 [17]

Answer:

627.4 mmHg

Explanation:

From Gay-Lussac law:

\frac{p1}{t1}  =  \frac{p2}{t2}

p1 = 760 mmHg

t1 = 343 K

t2=283.15 K

p2 = p1 \times  \frac{t2}{t1}

p2 = 760 \times  \frac{283.15}{343.0}

p2 = 627.4 \: mmhg

What determines how many items make up a particular unit
Ierofanga [76]
The Avogadro's number determines how many items make up a particular unit, such that 1 mole of a substance contains 6.022 × 10^23 items.
These items may be particles such as molecules, atoms, ions , etc
Therefore, 1 mole of anything has 6.022×10^23 items.
This number is called the Avogadro's constant and applies to all substances, and is normally used by researchers and scientists to determine the number of moles of elements and compounds.
