In a Lewis structure, why must pairs of unshared of lone pairs if dots be placed around the outside of some of the atoms

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

In a Lewis symbol, the symbol for the element is used to represent the atom and its core electrons. Dots placed around the atom are used to indicate the valence electrons. ... In 1916, Gilbert Newton Lewis, an American chemist, suggested that molecules were formed when atoms shared pairs of outer electrons.

Complete and balance the following neutralization reaction Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Since this is a neutralization reaction, the end product would be salt and water. In this equation Calcium will displace hydrogen from the acid because it is more reactive, resulting in the formation of CaSO4 (salt), while the displaced H2 molecule combines with OH molecules to form water.

The equation of the reaction is thus;

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l), in other to balance it, we add ''2'' to the water molecule in the right hand side of the equation.

Balance equation is

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
