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.

A researcher recorder that a chemical reaction require 2.90 gal water and raised the temperature of the reaction vessel by 57°F.
Ivan

Answer:

10.875L

Explanation:

The problem here is a simple conversion. The conversion is from gal to liters Liter is a SI unit for recording volume as stated in the problem.

Given that:

              1 gallon of water = 3.75L

              2.90 gallon will be 2.9 x 3.75; 10.875L

2. A student has a centrifuge tube containing 14.0 g of t-butanol and is asked to make a 1.2 m solution of ethanol/t-butanol. Ho
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

0.774g of ethanol

0.970mL of ethanol

Explanation:

Molality is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and kg of solvent.

In the problem, you need to prepare a 1.2m solution of ethanol (Solute) in t-butanol (solvent).

14.0g of butanol are <em>0.014kg </em>and as you want to prepare the 1.2m solution, you need to add:

0.014kg × (1.2moles / kg) = 0.0168 moles of solute = Moles of ethanol

To convert moles of ethanol to mass you require molar mass (Molar mass ethanol, C₂H₅OH = 46.07g/mol). Thus, mass of 0.0168 moles are:

0.0168moles Ethanol ₓ (46.07g / mol) =

<h3>0.774g of ethanol</h3>

And to convert mass in g to mL you require density of the substance (Density of ethanol = 0.798g/mL):

0.774g ₓ (1mL / 0.798g) =

<h3>0.970mL of ehtanol</h3>
