Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.

The given molecule is, perbromate ion.

Bromine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in perbromate ion, $BrO_4^-$ = 7 + 4(6) + 1 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 14 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on }Br=7-0-\frac{14}{2}=0$

The Lewis-dot structure of perbromate ion is shown below.

The formal charge on Br is $\boxed0$ . (For structure, refer to the attached image).

Further explanation:

The bonding between the different atoms in covalent molecules is shown by some diagrams known as the Lewis structures. These also show the presence of lone pairs in the molecule. These are also known as Lewis dot diagrams, electron dot diagrams, Lewis dot structures or Lewis dot formula. In covalent compounds, the geometry, polarity, and reactivity are predicted by these structures.

Lewis structure of ${\mathbf{BrO}}_{\mathbf{4}}^ -$ (Refer to the structure in the attached image):

The total number of valence electrons of ${\text{BrO}}_4^ -$ is calculated as,

Total valence electrons = [(1) (Valence electrons of Br) + (4) (Valence electrons of O) + Charge on anion]

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Total valence electrons}}\left({{\text{TVE}}} \right)&=\left[{\left({\text{1}} \right)\left({\text{7}}\right)+\left({\text{4}}\right)\left({\text{6}} \right)+1}\right]\\&=32\\\end{aligned}$

Formal charge:

It is the charge that an atom acquires in a molecule by considering that the chemical bonds are shared equally between the two atoms, irrespective of their electronegativities.

The formula to calculate the formal charge on an atom is as follows:

${\mathbf{Formal\:charge=}}\left[\begin{gathered}\left[ \begin{gathered}{\mathbf{total\:number\:of\:valence\:electrons }}\hfill\\{\mathbf{in\:the\:free\:atom}}\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]{\mathbf{}}-\\\left[{{\mathbf{total\:number\:of\:non- bonding\:electrons}}}\right]-\\\frac{{\left[ {{\mathbf{total\:number\:of\:bonding\:electrons}}}\right]}}{{\mathbf{2}}}\\\end{gathered}\right]$

Br forms three double bonds with three oxygen atoms and one single bond with one oxygen atom.

The total number of valence electrons in the free bromine atom is 7.

The total number of non-bonding electrons in Br is 0.

The total number of bonding electrons in Br is 14.

Substitute these values in equation (1) to find the formal charge on Br.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Formal charge on Br}}&=\left[ {7 - 0 - \frac{{14}}{2}}\right]\\&=0\\\end{aligned}$

Total number of valence electrons in the free oxygen atom is 6.

The total number of non-bonding electrons in O is 4.

The total number of bonding electrons in O is 4.

Substitute these values in equation (1) to find the formal charge on blue O.

$\begin{aligned} {\text{Formal charge on blue O}} &=\left[ {6 - 4 -\frac{4}{2}} \right]\\&= 0\\\end{aligned}$

Total number of valence electrons in the free oxygen atom is 6.

The total number of non-bonding electrons in O is 6.

The total number of bonding electrons in O is 2.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Formal charge on red O}}&=\left[ {6 - 6 -\frac{2}{2}} \right]\\&=- 1\\\end{aligned}$

Bromine atom has 7 valence electrons, and oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons Each of the three blue-colored oxygen atoms forms one double bond with bromine atom, and two lone pairs are present on each of them. The red-colored oxygen atom forms one single bond with the bromine atom, and six lone pairs are present on it. Therefore the Lewis structure of ${\mathbf{BrO}}_{\mathbf{4}}^ -$ is attached in the image.

An unknown gas effuses at a rate 0.797 times that of nitrogen at the same temperature. what is the molar mass of the unknown gas

kicyunya [14]

mass B/molar mass A = (rate A/rate B)^2. we know our unknown gas (A) effuses at .797 times our known gas (B) so rate A/rate B = .797 so 0.797^2 = 28 / molar mass A Molar mass A = 28 / 0.635 = 44.09 g / mole Molar mass is 44.09 g/mol

You are riding a bicycle home from school. You average 5 meters per second and you are headed south. What motion can you determi

aleksklad [387]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity

Explanation :

Velocity : It measures the speed of an object in a particular direction. It is a vector quantity. It depends on the magnitude and the direction. The S.I unit of velocity is, $m/s$

Distance : It measures the length between the two objects. The S.I unit of distance is, meter.

Speed : It is defined as the distance traveled per unit of time. It does not have a direction. The S.I unit of speed is, $m/s$

Acceleration : It is defined as the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. The S.I unit of acceleration is, $m/s^2$

Hence, the motion we can determine from the given data is, velocity.

The lock-and-key mechanism refers to

miskamm [114]

Answer:

A). The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.

Explanation:

The Lock-and-key mechanism was proposed by Emil Fischer for the first time and characterized as the metaphor which helps in elucidating the specificity of the enzymatic reactions. In this metaphor, the lock is described as the enzyme while 'key' is characterized as the substrate which the enzyme acts upon. If the key is not appropriately sized, it will not fit into the active site i.e. the keyhole of the lock or enzyme and reaction will not take place. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

A 6.1-kg solid sphere, made of metal whose density is 2600 kg/m3, is suspended by a cord. When the sphere is immersed in a liqui

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

$Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}$

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force = $\rho\times gV$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

$mg=\rho\times gV+T$

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

$6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26$

$33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346$

$\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}$

$\rho=1470.43 kgm^3$

Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

A student did not read the direction to the experiment properly and mixed up where to place the NaOH solution and the vinegar. H

Mariana [72]

Answer:

At end point there will a transition from pink to colorless.

Explanation:

As the student put the vinegar in the titrator and NaOH in the beaker, it means that he has poured phenolphthalein in the NaOH solution.

The pH range of phenolphthalein is 8.3-10 (approx), it means it will show pink color in basic medium.

So on addition of phenolphthalein in NaOH the solution will become pink in color.

When we start pouring vinegar from titrator neutralization of NaOH will begin.

On complete neutralization , on addition of single drop of vinegar the solution will become acidic and there will be complete disappearance of pink color solution in the beaker.
