There are none

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electron means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

This condition usually occurs in covalent bonds

As we know, the bond between Ca, which is a group 2 (metal) with Sulfur in group 16, is an ionic bond because it occurs between metal and non-metal ions, so there is no sharing of electrons, but there is a release of electrons from Ca ions to S ions to form an octet. , so all the valence electrons in S are paired

The decomposition of N2O to N2 and O2 is a first-order reaction. At 730°C, the rate constant of the reaction is 1.94 × 10-4 min-
fomenos

Answer:

The total pressure after one half is 6.375 atm.

Explanation:

The initial pressure of product is increases while the pressure of reactant would decrease.

Balanced chemical equation:

2N₂O  → 2N₂ + O₂

The pressure of N₂O is 5.10 atm. The change in pressure would be,

N₂O = -2x

N₂ = +2x

O₂ = +x

The total pressure will be

P(total) = P(N₂O) + P(N₂)  + P(O₂)

P(total) = ( 5.10 - 2x) + (2x)  + (x)

P(total) = 5.10 + x

After one half life:

P(N₂O)  = 1/2(5.10) = 5.10 - 2x

x = 5.10 - 1/2(5.10) /2

x = 5.10 - 0.5 (5.10) /2

x = 5.10 - 2.55 / 2

x = 2.55 /2 = 1.275 atm

Thus the total pressure will be,

P(total) = 5.10 + x

P(total) = 5.10 + 1.275

P(total) = 6.375 atm
