Answer:

Three

Explanation:

Each carbon atom contributes four valence electrons while each oxygen atom contributes six, leading to a total of 14 valence electrons.

With two double bonds (accounting for eight bonding electrons), six electrons are left unbound (which means there are three lone pairs).

The Lewis structure can be represented as:C=C=Ö:

A container is filled with 4.0 g and 5.0 g 02. The mixture is ignited produced water how much water is produced
VMariaS [2998]
The chemical equation can be expressed as:

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Given the amounts of the reactants, we need to identify the limiting reactant before calculating the amount of product generated.

4.0 g H2 ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) = 1.98 mol H2
5.0 g O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g ) = 0.1563 mol O2

The limiting reactant is O2, as it will be fully consumed in the reaction.

0.1563 mol O2 ( 2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2 ) ( 18.02 g / mol ) = 5.6 g H2O will be produced

Enter the net ionic equation representing solid chromium (iii) hydroxide reacting with nitrous acid. express your answer as a ba
Anarel [2989]

The net ionic equation for the reaction between chromium (III) hydroxide and nitrous acid is:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) ⇒ Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

Additional Details

An electrolyte dissociates into ions in solution.

Chemical equations can also be represented with ionic species.

Strong electrolytes (fully ionized) are written as separate ions, whereas weak electrolytes (partially ionized) remain as intact molecules.

In ionic equations, spectator ions are those unchanged by the chemical process—they are present both before and after the reaction.

Removing these spectators results in the net ionic equation.

Gases, solids, and water (H₂O) are written as molecules, without ionization.

Therefore, only dissolved compounds are represented by their ions (aq).

The problem involves chromium (III) hydroxide reacting with nitrous acid.

The reaction occurring is:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3HNO₂ (aq) ⇒ Cr(NO₂)₃ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

Chromium (III) hydroxide is a solid and remains un-ionized, as does water.

Thus, the ionic equation is:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) + 3NO₂⁻ (aq) ⇒ Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3NO₂⁻ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

The ion 3NO₂⁻ is a spectator ion; removing it yields the net ionic equation:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) ⇒ Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

A 85.2 g copper bar was heated to 221.32 degrees Celsius and placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 4250 mL of water at 2
eduard [2782]

Answer:- 64015 J

Solution: The calorimeter contains 4250 mL of water, which is at a temperature of 22.55 degrees Celsius.

The water's density is 1 gram per mL.

Thus, the mass of water = 4250mL(\frac{1g}{1mL}) = 4250 grams.

After introducing the hot copper bar, the final temperature of the water reaches 26.15 degrees Celsius.

Thus, \Delta T for the water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.60 degrees Celsius.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 \frac{J}{g.^0C}.

To determine the heat absorbed by the water, we can use the following formula:

q=mc\Delta T

where q represents heat energy, m refers to mass, and c indicates specific heat.

Now let's substitute the values into the equation to perform the calculations:

q=4250g*\frac{4.184J}{g.^0C}*3.60^0C

q = 64015 J

Therefore, the water absorbs 64015 J of heat.
