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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]2 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.

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Ni(s) | Ni2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
mylen [45]

Answer:

1.06  V  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are:

Ag^+/Ag     E° =  0.7996 V  

Ni^2+/Ni     E° = -0.257   V

The half-cell and cell reactions for Ni | Ni^2+ || Ag^+ | Ag are

Ni → Ni^2+ + 2e-                     E° = 0.257   V

<u>2Ag^+ 2e- → 2Ag               </u>    <u>E° = 0.7996 V </u>

Ni + 2Ag^+ → Ni^2+ + 2Ag     E° = 1.0566  V

To three significant figures, the standard potential for the cell is 1.06 V .

Which statement best expresses Newton's first law of motion? Group of answer choices Objects are constantly speeding up or slowi
nadezda [96]

Answer:

All objects resist changes to their states of motion.  

Explanation:

Sir Issac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer and a well known author. Besides, he was a great scientist. Newton discovered many scientific phenomenon and scientific theories in nature.

The most important and famous discoveries of Newton is the Newton's laws of motion. Newtons stated three laws of motion, namely, Newtons 1st law of motion, Newton's 2nd laws of motion and Newton's 3rd law of motion.

According to Newtons's 1st law of motion : A body continues to be in the state of motion or in the state of rest until and unless an external force is applied to it. In other words, all bodies resists changes to the states of their motion or rest.

Answer:

The granite block transferred <u>4080 joules</u> of energy, and the mass of the water is <u>35.84 grams</u>.

Explanation:

The equation needed to answer both parts of the question is:

Q = mcΔT

In this equation,

-----> Q = energy/heat (J)

-----> m = mass (g)

-----> c = specific heat (J/g°C)

-----> ΔT = change in temperature (°C)

<u>Part #1:</u>

First, you need to find the energy transferred from granite block using the previous equation. You have been given the mass, specific heat, and change in temperature.

Q = ? J                            c = 0.795 J/g°C

m = 126.1 g                     ΔT = 92.6 °C - 51.9 °C = 40.7 °C

Q = mcΔT

Q = (126.1 g)(0.795 J/g°C)(40.7 )

Q = 4080

<u>Part #2:</u>

Secondly, using the energy calculated in Part #1, you need to calculate the mass of the water. You have calculated the energy transferred, and have been given the specific heat and change in temperature.

Q = 4080 J                     c = 4.186 J/g°C

m = ? g                            ΔT = 51.9 °C - 24.7 °C = 27.2 °C

Q = mcΔT

4080 J = m(4.186 J/g°C)(27.2 °C)

4080 J = m(113.8592)

35.84 = m

Be sure to answer all parts. One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, whic
KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

one gallon of gasoline produces 9.50 kg of carbon.

The total number of cars = 40 million

Distance covered by each car = 7930 miles

Consumption rate of the cars per miles traveled is 23.6 miles per gallon.

Hence the annual gasoline consumption by all the cars in the United States of America = (total number of cars × Distance covered by each car) ÷ Consumption rate of the cars per miles

annual gasoline consumption by all the cars = (40000000 × 7930 miles) ÷ 23.6 miles/gallon = `1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons

1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons = 1.344067797*10^{10}\  gallons *\frac{9.50\ kg}{1\ gallon} =1.276864407*10^{11}\ kg\ of \ carbon\ dioxide

Using the equation
o-na [289]

Answer:

13.36

first you have to convert the grams of nitrogen into moles when you got the moles of nitrogen. Then 2 moles of ammonia react with 1 mole nitrogen you have doubled the nitrogen mole and then convert the moles into the grams of ammonia.

use this formula for that:

moles = gram/molar mass
