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.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Al + 4AgNO3 >>Al(NO3)3+ 3Ag

Explanation:

the number of moles of No3 of the products is 3 therefore we have to balance the reactants by adding 3 before the "AgNO3" which also leades us to adding 3 mols to Ag on the products side

Concentrated HCl is 37% m/m. The density of the solution is 1.19 g/mL. Assume you have 100.0 grams of SOLUTION.

sdas [7]

Answer:

M HCl sln = 12.0785 M

Explanation:

molarity (M) [=] mol/L
%mm = ((mass compound)/(mass sln))*100

∴ mass sln = 100.0 g

∴ δ sln = 1.19 g/mL

∴ % m/m = 37 %

⇒ 37 % =((mass HCl/mass sln))*100

⇒ 0.37 = mass HCl / 100.0 g

⇒ 37 g = mass HCl

∴ molar mass HCl = 36.46 g/mol

⇒ mol HCl = (37 g)*(mol/36.46 g) = 1.015 mol

⇒ volume sln = (100 g sln)*(mL/1.19 g) = 84.034 mL = 0.084034 L

⇒ M HClsln = 1.015 mol/0.084034 L

⇒ M HCl sln = 12.0785 M
