7 0

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 molality of a solution containing 10.0 G of NA2 S04 and 1000.0 G of water
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

1 literThe total of water is equal to 1000.0 g of water

we need to find the molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of dissolved in  Na₂S0₄1000.0 g of water

1. For that find the molar mass

Na:  2 x 22.99= 45.98

S:  32.07

O:  4 x 16= 64

The total molar mass is 142.05

We have to find the number of moles, y

To find the number of moles divide 10.0g by 142.05 g/mol.

So the number of moles is 0.0704 moles.

For the molarity, you need the number of moles divided by the volume. So, 0.0704 mol/1 L.

The molarity would end up being 0.0704 M

The molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of Na2SO4 dissolved in 1000.0 g of water is  0.0704 Mliter

One mole of calcium ions has the same number of representative particles as which of the following? one mole of calcium nuclei o
Kruka [31]
One mole is always the same number: 6.02 * 10^ 23.

So, one mole of cars = 6.02 * 10 ^23 cars; one mole of pencils = 6.02 * 10^23 pencils; one mole of atoms = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms; one mole of molecules = 6.02 * 10^23 molecules.

So, all the options are correct: one mole of calcium ions has 6.02 * 10^23 representative particles, such as one mole of calcium nuclei and one of calcium atoms.
