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.
1 answer:
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
Formal charge of each P: 5 - (2 +1/2*6) = 0

Here we have to calculate the amount of ion present in the sample.
In the sample solution 0.122g of ion is present.
The reaction happens on addition of excess BaCl₂ in a sample solution of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄) and sodium sulfate [(Na)₂SO₄] can be written as-
K₂SO₄ = 2K⁺ +
(Na)₂SO₄=2Na⁺ +
Thus, BaCl₂+ = BaSO₄↓ + 2Cl⁻ .
(Na)₂SO₄ and K₂SO₄ is highly soluble in water and the precipitation or the filtrate is due to the BaSO₄ only. As a precipitation appears due to addition of excess BaCl₂ thus the total amount of ion is precipitated in this reaction.
The precipitate i.e. barium sulfate (BaSO₄)is formed in the reaction which have the mass 0.298g.
Now the molecular weight of BaSO₄ is 233.3 g/mol.
We know the molecular weight of sulfate ion () is 96.06 g/mol. Thus in 1 mole of BaSO₄ 96.06 g of
ion is present.
Or. we may write in 233.3 g of BaSO₄ 96.06 g of ion is present. So in 1 g of BaSO₄
g of
ion is present.
Or, in 0.298 g of the filtered mass (0.298×0.411)=0.122g of ion is present.
