White phosphorous has the chemical formula p4(s). a p4 molecule has 20 valence electrons. draw a lewis formula for a white phosp

horous molecule in which none of the atoms violates the octet rule and the formal charge on each atom is zero. there are no pi bonds in the structure.

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

Why does Hg2+ have a negative standard entropy
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Hg∧2+ has a negative standard entropy because the ions are highly solvated in aqueous phase; smaller the ionic size, the more highly it is surrounded by solvated ions. Therefore it will be in highly ordered state hence the entropy decreases.

Hg2 ^2+ has a positive standard entropy because the ionic size of Hg^2+ is smaller than Hg2 ^2+, so therefore the Hg^2+ is highly solvated and that means that it is in highly ordered state.  Hg2 ^2+  is not highly solvated so it will have a positive entropy

Explanation:

The values of standard entropy of aqueous ions has a negative standard entropy because the ions are highly solvated in aqueous phase; smaller the ionic size, the more highly it is surrounded by solvated ions. Therefore it will be in highly ordered state hence the entropy decreases.

Hg2 ^2+ has a positive standard entropy because the ionic size of Hg^2+ is smaller than Hg2 ^2+, so therefore the Hg^2+ is highly solvated and that means that it is in highly ordered state.  Hg2 ^2+  is not highly solvated so it will have a positive entropy

Calculate the density of the rock if its mass is 360 g.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

12.0 g/mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of Rock = 360 g

Volume of water = 150 mL

Volume of water + Rock = 180 mL

Density of Rock =?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the rock. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 150 mL

Volume of water + Rock = 180 mL

Volume of Rock =?

Volume of Rock = (Volume of water + Rock) – (Volume of water)

Volume of Rock = 180 – 150

Volume of Rock = 30 mL

Finally, we shall determine the density of the rock as illustrated below:

Mass of Rock = 360 g

Volume of Rock = 30 mL

Density of Rock =?

Density = mass /volume

Density of Rock = 360 / 30

Density of Rock = 12.0 g/mL

Thus, the density of the rock is 12.0 g/mL
