Answer:

Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei but differing numbers of neutrons. Radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes of an element. They can also be defined as atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons, or excess energy in their nucleus.

Draw the Lewis structure for BCl3. How many single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons are on the

andreev551 [17]

Answer : The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $BCl_3$

As we know that boron has '3' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $BCl_3$ = 3 + 3(7) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

From the Lewis-dot structure we conclude that,

The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.

Boiling point of a solution formed when 15.2 grams of CaCl2 dissolves in 57.0 g of water. kB= 0.512 c/m.

Nookie1986 [14]

100.133 degree celsius is the boiling point of the solution formed when 15.2 grams of CaCl2 dissolves in 57.0 g of water.

Explanation:

Balanced eaquation for the reaction

CaCl2 + 2H20 ⇒ Ca(OH)2 + HCl

given:

mass of CaCl2 = 15.2 grams

mass of the solution = 57 grams

Kb (molal elevation constant) = 0.512 c/m

i = vont hoff factor is 1 as 1 mole of the substance is given as product.

Molality is calculated as:

molality = $\frac{grams of solute}{grams of solution}$

= $\frac{15.2}{57}$

= 0.26 M

Boiling point is calculated as:

ΔT = i x Kb x M

= 1 x 0.512 x 0.26

= 0.133 degrees

The boiling point of the solution will be:

100 degrees + 0.133 degrees (100 degrees is the boiling point of water)

= 100.133 degree celcius is the boiling point of mixture formed.

Why is concentrated sodium hydroxide preferred than water

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH

2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H

2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.

As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]

Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]

Of Be3+ , Li2+ , and He1+

Mama L [17]

Answer:He 1+

Explanation:

Both Hydrogen atom and helium ion are one electron species. Hence we expect the spectrum of the helium ion to closely resemble that of hydrogen atom also containing one valence electron.

Which properties of matter are independent of the amount of the material?

Strike441 [17]

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. These are properties such as mass, weight, volume, and density. Remember that density is a physical property.
