Explain why resonance structures are used instead of Lewis structure to correctly model certain molecules

Chemistry
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The bonding in certain compounds or ions can not be thoroughly explained in terms of a single Lewis structure.

The observed properties of the compound or ion indicate that it can not be entirely represented by a single Lewis structure. For example, all C-C bond  in benzene are equal.

When this is the case, a number of structures called resonance structures are invoked in order to satisfactorily explain the properties of the particular chemical specie under study.

A lab technician mixes a 0.730 M solution of sodium bromide (NaBr) and water. The volume of the solution is 135 milliliters.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the sodium bromide (NaBr) = 0.730 M

Volume of the sodium bromide solution = 135 mL = 0.135 L

Molar mass sodium bromide (NaBr) = 102.89 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles NaBr

Moles NaBr = Molarity NaBr * volume NaBr

Moles NaBr = 0.730 M * 0.135 L

Moles NaBr = 0.09855 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass of NaBr

Mass NaBr = 0.09855 moles * 102.89 g/mol

Mass NaBr = 10.14 grams

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution

How many moles is 22.4 liters of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure represent
makkiz [27]

Answer:

So 1 mole

Explanation:

PV = nRT

P = Pressure atm

V = Volume L

n = Moles

R = 0.08206 L·atm·mol−1·K−1.

T = Temperature K

standard temperature = 273K

standard pressure = 1 atm

22.4 liters of oxygen

Ok so we have

V = 22.4

P = 1 atm

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 22.4/(0.08206 x 273)

n  = 22.4/22.40

n = 1 mole

Please use the below balanced equation to answer this question.    2H2(g)  +  O2(g)  ->   2H2O(l) How many grams of water wil
Blizzard [7]
At STP (standard temperature and pressure conditions), 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L 
This rule is applied to O₂
22.4 L volume occupied by 1 mol
Therefore 83.4 L occupied by - 1/ 22.4 x 83.4 = 3.72 mol
stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2
then the number of moles of water produced - 3.72 mol x 2= 7.44 mol
mass of water produced - 7.44 mol x 18.01 g/mol = 134.1 g
correct answer is D

At rest, a neuron has a lower concentration of sodium than the surrounding fluid. The neuron also has a higher concentration of
pshichka [43]

Answer:

a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.

Explanation:

The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.

In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.

<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>
