Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>They each partially describe the bonding in a molecule.</em>

Explanation:

Some chemical molecules cannot be described completely by using only one Lewis structure. In these cases, we can describe the molecule by drawing 2 or more Lewis structures, and the structures are called <u>resonance structures</u>. The overall molecular structure is explained by all the resonance structures together. So, they each describe the bonding in the molecule only partially.

Why do elements in the same group have a similar reactivity?
katrin2010 [14]
Elements in the same group have the same number of outer-shell electrons or "valence" electrons, so they tend to react similarly, as they can form similar bonds.

use the Kinetic Theory to explain the following. when you come home from school and open the door you can smell your tea being c
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Tea is getting hot on the stove.  

2) As the tea and water gets hot, some combined molecules of tea and water will escape from the teapot.  

3) Those escaped molecules now have the entire free space of the entire room to float around in, which they do (because they have high kinetic energy due to being heated).  

4) Hence, in this scenario, your nose will detect a few of those molecules and you smell hot or warm tea.  

5) Cold tea would be a different story. Cold beverages like cold tea do not have the kinetic energy where molecules can 'break free' of the surrounding container. Someone could be sitting in the room having a can or bottle of cold tea and you would not notice that when you walked in the door.

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?
Lostsunrise [7]
Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

(A) endothermic

(A) Yes, absorbed

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 Fe₂O₃(s) ⇒ 4 FeO(s) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 560 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.

We can establish the following relations:

  • 560 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ react.
  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 160 g/mol.

Suppose 66.6 g of Fe₂O₃ react. The heat absorbed is:

66.6g.\frac{1mol}{160g} .\frac{560kJ}{2mol} =117kJ
