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.

What is the mass of 12,000cm3 of N2? Explain your answer?
Damm [24]

Answer:

14g

Explanation:

assuming that N2 is a gas, use the gas formula ( mole = volume/24) to find the number of moles

then once you have found the moles (0.5 mol) use the (mole = mass/mr) formula to find the mass

so, 0.5 x 28 = 14g

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
REY [17]

Explanation:

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)

Overall, balanced molecular equation

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)

To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.

An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.

A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.

Oxidation number of Mg:

Reactant - 0

Product - +3

Oxidation number of Cr:

Reactant - +3

Product - 0

Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.

Oxidized : Mg

Reduced : Cr

What does a solar eclipse look like from Earth?
kati45 [8]
Well in my experience with Solar Eclipses is that before it starts or before it is covering the moon is covering the sun there is like a shadow on one side of the sun and after the hours or minutes go by all around you everything is getting darker and a little colder than it was a few moments ago so what it would look like is something is in front of the sun or its like the moon got so close to the sun that it just blocked it and also some of the sun's rays surround the moon.<span />
