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.

Blababa [14]
Its a change in state of solid to liquid

the reason is that in a solid state the molecules have little  kinetic energy to move and so they have restricted movement and so it remains solid
once heat is applied the molecules gain enough energy to move and so they turn into a liquid and move according to the laws of physics

hope that helps

Consider an exceptionally weak acid, HA, with a Ka = 1x10 -20 . You make a 0.1M solution of the salt Na
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

pH=13

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the acid, we can suppose a simple dissociation as:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-

Which occurs in aqueous phase, therefore, the law of mass action is written by:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

That in terms of the change x due to the reaction's extent we can write:

1x10^{-20}=\frac{x*x}{0.1M-x}

But we prefer to compute the Kb due to its exceptional weakness:

Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka}=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{1x10^{-20}}  =1x10^{-6}

Next, the acid dissociation in the presence of the base we have:

Kb=\frac{[OH^-][HA]}{[A^-]}=1x10^{6}=\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}

Whose solution is x=0.0999M which equals the concentration of hydroxyl in the solution, thus we compute the pOH:

pOH=-log([OH^-])=-log(0.0999)=1

Finally, since the maximum scale is 14, we can compute the pH by knowing the pOH:

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH=14-1\\\\pH=13

Regards.
