1. Find its coordination figure/coordination number of central atom (CF)
Ev = Vallence electron of central atom
Σe = electrons donated from substituents
Terminal O gives 0 electrons, hence Σe = 3 x 0
charge = charge of the compound
2. Find EP (electron pairs) and LP (lone pairs)
LP = CF - EP
3. Draw the skeleton with octet substituents (top right figure)
4. Find formal charge for each atoms (Qf)
5. Write formal charge near atom in skeleton
6. Enjoy
Answer:
295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .
Explanation:
Let the volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid solution be x
Volume of required 10% trichloroacetic acid solution =8 bottles of 3 ounces
= 24 ounces = 709.68 mL
(1 ounces = 29.57 mL)
Amount of trichloroacetic acid in 24% solution of x volume of solution will be equal to amount of trichloroacetic acid in 10% solution of volume 709.68 mL.
x = 295.7 mL
295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .
