In the best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion, CNO–, what is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom?

Answer:

The percent yield of Br₂ in this reaction amounts to 96.15%

Explanation:

The reaction's balanced stoichiometric equation is:

2 NaBr + 1 Cl₂ → 2 NaCl + 1 Br₂

To calculate the percent yield:

Percent yield = 100% × (Actual yield)/(Theoretical yield)

To determine the theoretical yield:

5.29 g of NaBr reacts with an excess of chlorine; therefore, NaBr is the limiting reagent, controlling the possible yield of products.

We convert 5.29 g of NaBr to moles.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar mass)

Molar Mass of NaBr = 102.894 g/mol

Number of moles = (5.29/102.894) = 0.0514121329 = 0.05141 mole

According to the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaBr yield 1 mole of Br₂

Thus, 0.05141 mole of NaBr will produce (0.05141×1/2) mole of Br₂, which is 0.0257 mole of Br₂

Theoretical yield = Expected mass of Br₂ from the reaction

= (Number of moles) × (Molar mass)

Molar mass of Br₂ = 159.808 g/mol

Theoretical yield of Br₂ = 0.0257 × 159.808 = 4.108 g

Calculating the percent yield:

Percent yield = 100% × (Actual yield)/(Theoretical yield)

Actual yield = 3.95 g

Theoretical yield = 4.108 g

Percent yield = 100% × (3.95/4.108) = 96.15%

Hope this is helpful!!!

Answer:

Explanation:

In KCl, the two elements that combine to create KCl are potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl).

Potassium, as a Group 1 element, possesses one valence electron in its outermost shell which it readily donates during bonding. Every element aims to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically with 2 or 8 electrons in its outer shell. Potassium is characterized by its lower electronegativity and higher ionization energy, making it more likely to donate its electron than to accept one. On the other hand, chlorine belongs to Group 17 and has 7 electrons in its outer shell, requiring just one additional electron to complete its octet. Chlorine’s higher electronegativity and lower ionization energy facilitate its tendency to accept an electron rather than donate it.

The bond between potassium and chlorine that results in KCl is termed an electrovalent bond.

Reaction equation:

K + Cl → KCl

B, C

Explanation:

The Lewis dot structures that are valid are for B and C.

Regarding A;

The Lewis representation of carbon is correct. Each of the four dots symbolizes the four valence electrons.

However, the nitrogen with a single dot above, to the left, and below and a -3 charge isincorrect. For it to have a -3 charge, it must possess 8 Lewis dots (two on each side).

The nitrogen showing four dots (on top, right, bottom and left) is incorrect.

In B;

An oxygen having two dots positioned above and below with one dot on both sides is correct , as the 6 dots indicate oxygen's valence electrons.

In C;

A carbon shows two dots at each position and has a charge of +4. This is correct because the charge reflects that it has gained four electrons giving it 8 valence electrons.

In D;

An oxygen shows two dots above, to the left and below, with a charge of -2. This is incorrect as not all Lewis dots are present. Two are missing.
