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

What is the energy released in this β − β − nuclear reaction 40 19 K → 40 20 C a + 0 − 1 e 19 40 K → 20 40 C a + − 1 0 e ? (The
Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given nuclear reaction:

_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}

We are given:

Mass of _{19}^{40}\textrm{K} = 39.963998 u

Mass of _{20}^{40}\textrm{Ca} = 39.962591 u

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

\Delta m=\text{Mass of reactants}-\text{Mass of products}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=(39.963998-39.962591)=0.001407u

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

E=\Delta mc^2\\E=(0.001407u)\times c^2

E=(0.001407u)\times (931.5MeV)    (Conversion factor:  1u=931.5MeV/c^2  )

E=1.3106MeV

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.

What is the law of conservation?
frez [133]

Answer:In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. Exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge. Wikipedia

C4H9OH(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+?H2O(l) what coefficient should be placed in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms?
slava [35]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.

Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too

(1) The solubility of Salt AB2(S) IS 5mol/dm^3.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

a. Ksp = 4s³

b. 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹

Explanation:

a. Obtain an expression for the solubility product of AB2(S),in terms of s.

AB₂ dissociates to give

AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻

Since 1 mole of AB₂ gives 1 mole of A and 2 moles of B, we have the mole ratio as

AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻

1 : 1 : 2

Since the solubility of AB₂ is s, then the solubility of A is s and that of B is 2s

So, we have

AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻

[s]        [s]    [2s]

So, the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]²

= (s)(2s)²

= s(4s²)

= 4s³

b. Calculate the Ksp of AB₂, given that solubility is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³

Given that the solubility of AB is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³ and the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]² = 4s³ where s = solubility of AB = 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³

Substituting the value of s into the equation, we have

Ksp = 4s³

= 4(2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³)³

= 4(13.824 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹)

= 55.296 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹

= 5.5296 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹

≅ 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹

Ksp = 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
