Is the sulfide ion (S2-) stable, neutral or both? Explan

1 answer:

6 0

The stable ion the sulfur would form is the sulfide ion,
S
2
−
.
Explanation:
A neutral sulfur atom contains 16 electrons. We can know this because its atomic number is 16, which means there are 16 protons in the nucleus. Since the negative charge of the electrons cancels the charge of the protons, the sulfur atom is neutral. The electron configuration of sulfur is
1s
2
2s
2
2p
6
3s
2
3p
4
. The valence shell (the 3s and 3p sublevels) contains six electrons, but it needs eight to become stable. Think of the octet rule. Therefore a sulfur atom will gain two electrons to form the sulfide anion with a charge of

A bar of pure gold is made up of identical gold atom. can it be a molecular compound?

Zepler [3.9K]

No it can't. To be a molecular compound it should contains at least two different elements. As it is made up of only gold (Au) atoms it violates the above requirement.

After distilling your crude methyl benzoate, you set aside 5.12 grams of the purified ester. You then prepare the grignard reage

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Percent yield is 54%

Explanation:

The Grignard reaction is:

Mg + bromobenzene → phenylmagnesium bromide

Moles of Mg are:

2,3g×(1mol/24.3g) = 0.095 moles Mg.

Moles of bromobenzene are:

9,45mL×(1.495g/1mL)×(1mol/157.01g)= 0.0900 of bromobenzene.

The limiting reactant is bromobenzene. That means moles of phenylmagnesium bromide are 0.0900 moles.

To produce triphenyl carbinol you require:

2 phenylmagnesium bromide + methyl benzoate → triphenyl carbinol

Moles of methyl benzoate are:

5.12g×(1mol/136,15g) = 0.0376 moles of methyl benzoate.

The complete reaction of 0.0376 moles of methyl benzoate requires:

0.0376 moles of methyl benzoate× $\frac{2mol PhenylmagnesiumBromide}{1molMethylBenzoate}$ = 0.0752 moles of phenylmagnesium bromide. As you have 0.900 moles of phenylmagnesium bromide, limiting reagent is Methyl benzoate and moles of triphenyl carbinol are 0.0376. In grams:
