Carbon and silicon are tetravalent but ge sn pb show di valency. Why

Chemistry

<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect.  .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.

Write an equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate, a fat formed from glycerol and three linolenic acid molecules
Tomtit [17]

Balanced chemical equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate:

C₅₇H₉₂O₆ + 9H₂ → C₅₇H₁₁₀O₆.

Linolenic acid (octadecatrienoic acids ) is a type of fatty acid. It has 18 carbon atoms chain and three double bonds. So trilinolenate has nine double bonds.

Trilinolenate is the form of triglyceride esters of linolenic acid.

Hydrogenation is addition of hydrogen atoms at both sides of a double bond.

How many formula units make up 36.0 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?
zalisa [80]

Answer: There are 2.29\times 10^{23} formula units

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{36.0g}{95g/mol}=0.38moles

1 mole of MgCl_2 contains = 6.023\times 10^{23} formula units

Thus 0.38 moles of MgCl_2 contains = \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.38=2.29\times 10^{23} formula units

Thus there are 2.29\times 10^{23} formula units
