Answer:

The given condition is proved.

Explanation:

Given that,

Construct the resonance structure for CSO, which has a formal charge of +2 on the central atom and +1 on the oxygen atom.

We need to construct the resonance structure for CSO

The structure shown in figure

According to question,

A formal charge of +2 on the central atom and +1 on the oxygen atom.

Then tha structure shown in figure

The central atom in the structure is sulphur.

We need to calculate the formal charge on sulphur

Using figure,

$charge\ on\ S=+3-1$

$charge\ on\ S=+2$

A formal charge of +2 on the central atom.

This is proved.

Hence, The given condition is proved.

The easiest way to determine whether a process is exothermic or endothermic is to note the change in temperature in a calorimete

Kryger [21]

Answer:

In the calorimeter, water is the exothermic. The salt LiCI, which will dissolve, is the endothermic. The final temperature of the water after the dissolution of LiCI was lower than the initial temperature, meaning the process is exothermic. In the microscopic view of the disspolution of LiCI, water molecules were seen to move slowly as they gained energy.

Explanation:

Exothermic is a process in which heat is released during the process. Endothermic reactions absorbs heat from surrounding during a chemical process. The dissolution of salt into water is an exothermic reaction. During this process heat is release and water molecules are broken down which are surrounded by salt ions.

Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate, or velocity, of the reaction is proportional to the product o

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

30.6 g of C is formed.

Explanation:

2A + B → C

Average rate of reaction = 2[A]/Δt = [B]/Δt = [C]/Δt

Average rate of reaction = [C]/Δt

Average rate of reaction = 15 g / 9 min

Average rate of reaction = 1.7 g of C / min

Average rate of reaction = [C]/Δt

[C] = Average rate of reaction x Δt

[C] = 1.7 g of C / min x 18 min

[C] = 30.6 g of C

Mass in grams of 6.25 mol of copper (II) nitrate?

podryga [215]

Cu = 63.546
N= 14.001 g/mol
O= 15.999 g/mol * 3 = 47.997

Copper (II) Nitrate has a MW of 125.544 g/mol

6.25 x 125.544

= 784.65 <--- is your answer, if there were was a multiple choice or not :)

Q3. Why do you think there were so many heated debates about cell theory? Click or tap here to enter text.

Korolek [52]

Why were there so many heated debates around the development of the cell theory? There were no concrete information about the development of the cell, thus they did not have the evidence to come to conclusions. People would argue about what theory was correct. who named the cell?
