5 0

Answer:

Three

Explanation:

1. Draw a Lewis structure

Put the least electronegative atom (C) in the centre
Attach the O and two S atoms to the C.
Add enough electrons to give each atom an octet.

2. Draw the resonance structures

You should get one of the structures below.

It has a double bond and two single bonds.

The resonance structures will have the double bond in each of the other two positions.

Question: In experiment your teacher has provided you with a sample of sandy, salty, ocean water and

liq [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components of the mixture are in the same proportion throughout any sample extracted from the mixture while an heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components of the mixture differ in term of proportion when different samples of the mixture are extracted and compared.

For example, a sandy water will have some parts (usually the bottom) of the mixture with more sand than other parts of the mixture, hence, it (sandy water) is a heterogeneous mixture. While salty and ocean water has it's salt dissolved in the same proportion throughout the water in the mixture, hence salty and/or ocean water is a homogeneous mixture.

Sandy water can be separated by filtration (i.e using a filter paper to separate the sand from the water when the mixture is poured over a filter paper) while salty and ocean water can be separated by distillation (i.e boiling of the mixture so the water molecules can boil and move through a tube as gas or steam into another container where they are cooled and converted back to liquid or water while leaving the solid salt component of the mixture in the boiling tube).

Chemical reaction when chromium metal is immersed in an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride.

Marrrta [24]

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$

Explanation:

The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

Type of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

Chromium $(Cr)$

Cobaltous Chloride $(CoCl_2)$

Products formed in the reaction are -

Chromic Chloride $(CrCl_3)$

Cobalt $(Co)$

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

$Cr + CoCl_2$ → $CrCl_3 + Co$

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$
