The Lewis structure of P₄ is shown in 3-D form. The two bottom corner P atoms are facing right in front of us, one P atom behind the two, and one P above it. Each line represents 2 electrons. When you add the lone electrons, you get a total of 20 valence electrons.
Formal charge of each P: 5 - (2 +1/2*6) = 0
Explanation:
A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction allowing them to proceed faster than they would naturally. Activation energy is the free energy that is required to be input in the reactant side to activate them to the transition state after which the reaction proceeds spontaneously to products.
An example of a catalyst is platinum, that is put in the exhaust of cars, to help convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the air.
Answer: A molecule of hydrochloric acid, for example, is composed of a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom. When these molecules dissolve into water, they separate into a positively charged hydrogen ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion. ... Only some of the molecules of weak acids disassociate when added to water.
Explanation:
First, we have to remember the molarity formula:
Part 1:
In this case, our solute is sodium nitrate (NaNO3), and we have the mass dissolved in water, then we have to convert grams to moles. For that, we need the molecular weight:
Then, we calculate the moles present in the solution:
Now, we have the necessary data to calculate the molarity (with the solution volume of 200 mL):
The molarity of this solution equals 0.2339 M.
Part 2:
In this case, we have the same amount (in moles and mass) of sodium nitrate, but a different volume of solution, then we only have to change it:
So, the molarity of this solution is 0.1701 M.
