If an ionic compound has a 2- charge how does that affect the total number of electrons in a Lewis structure

In the situation where an ion has a charge of -2, the Lewis structure is affected because it must add two additional electrons.

The Lewis structure is a term to refer to the graphical representation that shows the pairs of electrons in dashes or points of bonds between:

  • The atoms of a molecule
  • The lone electron pairs that may exist

Additionally, the charge of an ionic compound is calculated using the difference in electrical charge between the electrons. On the other hand, an ion is formed by adding or removing electrons, so the magnitude of the resulting charge depends on the number of electrons added or removed.

According to the above, if an ionic compound has a -2 charge, the Lewis structure must add two electrons.

Getting empirical formula, but they also gave molar mass too.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Empirical formula is PNCl₂

Explanation:

Percent composition means that 100 g of compound has x g of each element.

In 100 g of compound x, we have 26.73 g of P, 12.09 g of N, 61.18 g of Cl.

So, let's make some rules of three:

In 100 g of compound we have 26.73 g of P, 12.09 g of N, 61.18 g of Cl

In 579.43 g of compound we have:

(579.43 . 26.73) / 100 = 155 g of P

(579.43 . 12.09) / 100 = 70 g of N

(579.43 . 61.18) / 100 = 354 g of Cl

Let's convert the mass of the elements in moles.

155 g of P / 30.97 g/mol = 5 P

70 g / 14 g/mol = 5 N

354 g / 35.45 g/mol = 10 Cl

(a) show that the pressure exerted by a fluid P (in pascals) is given by P= hdg, where h is the column of the fluid in metres, d
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<em>56.4 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

volume increases by factor of 6, i.e \frac{V2}{V1} = 6

Initial temperature T1 at bottom of lake =  5.24°C = 278.24 K

Final temperature T2 at top of lake = 18.73°C = 291.73 K

NB to change temperature from °C to K we add 273

Final pressure P2 at the top of the lake = 0.973 atm

Initial pressure P1 at bottom of lake = ?

Using the equation of an ideal gas

\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}

P1 = \frac{P2V2T1}{V1T2} = \frac{0.973*6*278.24}{291.73}

P1 = 5.57 atm

5.57 atm = 5.57 x 101325 = 564380.25 Pa

Density Ρ of lake = 1.02 g/cm^{3} = 1020 kg/m^{3}

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^{2}

Pressure at lake bottom = pgd

where d is the depth of the lake

564380.25 = 1020 x 9.81 x  d

d = \frac{564380.25}{10006.2} = <em>56.4 m</em>

Which of the following would you predict to have a positive value for º ?
alexdok [17]
Given:

AgCl (s) ===> Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
- negative entropy

H2O(g) ===> H2O(l)
- positive entropy

2Na (s) + Cl2 (g) ===> 2NaCl (s)
- positive entropy

Br2(l) ===> Br2 (s)
-positive entropy

They are identified to have positive or negative values of entropy based on the phases of the reactants and products.
