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.

125 ml of nitrogen gas is collected at 70.0 degrees Celsius. The pressure

dybincka [34]

Answer: Volume of the gas at STP is 22.53 L.

Explanation:

Given : Volume = 125 mL (as 1 mL = 0.001 L) = 0.125 L

Temperature = $70^{o}C = (70 + 273) K = 343 K$

Pressure = $125 kPa = 125 kPa \times \frac{0.01 atm}{1 kPa} = 1.25 atm$

According to the ideal gas equation, the volume of given nitrogen gas is calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$1.25 atm \times V = 1 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 343 K\\V = \frac{1 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 343 K}{1.25 atm}\\= \frac{28.1603}{1.25} L\\= 22.53 L$

Hence, volume of the gas at STP is 22.53 L.

My teacher is grading this soon can someone help me ASAP!

10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.

11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume

Density:

A. 5/6 g/ml

B. 10/9 g/ml

C. 15/16 g/ml

D. 20/10 g/ml

If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.

12. Ammonia weighs less than water does-- for example, the weight of 8 gallons of ammonia will be equivalent to the weight of 5 gallons of water.

Hope this helped!

44. Convert the following. Express your answers in

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A = 0.75 ×10² KJ.

B = 3.9 ×10³ dg

C = 0.22 × 10² μl.

Explanation:

A = 7.5 ×10⁴ j to kilo joules

7.5 ×10⁴ / 1000 = 0.75 ×10² KJ.

Joule is the smaller unit while kilo joule is the larger unit. One kilo joule equals to the thousand joule that's why we will divide the given value by 1000 in order to convert into KJ.

B = 3.9 ×10⁵ mg to decigrams.

3.9 ×10⁵ / 100 = 3.9 ×10³ dg

Decigram is larger unit while milligram is smaller unit. One decigram is equal to the 100 milligram. In order to convert the given value into decigram we have to divide the value by 100.

C = 2.21 ×10⁻⁴ dL to micorliters

2.21 ×10⁻⁴ ×10⁵ = 0.22 × 10² μl.

Deciliter is bigger unit then micro liter . One deciliter equals to the 100000 micro liters. In order to convert the dL into micro liter we have to multiply the given value with 100000.
