How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
5 0

There are zero lone pairs of electrons on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3. The correct option is b.

Explanation:

Lone pair electrons are those valence electrons of an atom which do not take part in bonding or left after the bonds are formed.

CHI_{3}

carbon is the central atom in the compound having 4 valence electrons.

Each iodine molecule has 7 valence electrons.

H has 1 valence electron.

from the Lewis structure of CHI_{3}, it is seen that all four valence electrons of the carbon is involved in bonding with 3 atoms of iodine and 1 atom of hydrogen.

Thus when all valence electrons are involved in bonding no lone pair of electron is found in CHI_{3} that means zero lone pairs of electrons.

The octet of the iodine, carbon and hydrogen gets completed to form the compound.

30 g of hydrogen reacts with 120 g of oxygen to form water.How much water is produced?
Rus_ich [418]

According to law of conservation of mass.

In a chemical reaction Mass is neither created nor destroyed.

  • Mass of product =Mass of reactant

#1

Mass of water

\\ \sf\longmapsto 30+120=150g

#2

Mass of sulphur:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 136.9-111.6=25.3g

How many moles of water are produced when 6.0 moles of hydrogen gas react with 2.5 moles of oxygen gas?
sasho [114]

Answer:

2.5 mole O2 should react (2 * 2.5) = 5.0 mole H2 but there is 6.0 mole H2. H2 remain in excess. O2 is the limiting reactant. mole of H2O formed = 2 * 2.5 = 5.0 mole.

Which element is used for the shinny trim in thermomerters
Luda [366]
If you’re referring to he red stuff- the liquids can be ethanol, toluene, kerosene, or isoamyl acetate. They’re transparent so they’re made more visible with red dye. (So I’d guess the answer is ethanol)

I found this in the Wikipedia article ‘Alcohol thermometer’

The image shows two opposite forces acting on a rolling cart, what can we say is true about the effect on the forces on the cart
bonufazy [111]

Question options:

1. It cannot be determined without knowing which man is stronger.

2. The forces are unbalanced, and net force on the cart moves it to the left.

3. It cannot be determined because one man is taller than the other.

4. The forces are unbalanced, and net force on the cart moves it to the right.

Answer:

<em>2.The forces are unbalanced, and net force on the cart moves it to the left.</em>

Explanation:

In the image, two opposite forces acting on a rolling cart. The person on the right side exerting more force (50N) toward the left than the person on the left side (10N). The more the force applying on the object, it will drag on the followed direction.

It is because the person on the right side exerting force  (50N) toward the left, rolling cart will moves to the left.
