<u>Answer:</u> A molecule of $ClO_3^-$ has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lewis-dot structure is defined as the structure which represents the number of valence electrons around the atoms. The electrons are represented as dots.

This structure helps in the determination of bonding electrons and non-bonding electrons.

For the given compound $ClO_3^-$

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron. The negative charge gets add up in the total number of valence electrons.

Total number of valence electrons in $ClO_3^-$ = 7 + 3(6) + 1 = 26

In $ClO_3^-$ , two electrons of 2 oxygen atoms combine with 2 electrons of chlorine and 1 electron of one oxygen atom combines with 1 electron of chlorine atom.

A lone pair remains on the central atom which is chlorine.

Hence, a molecule of $ClO_3^-$ has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

Answer:

194 g/mol.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one first must compute the mass of each element as shown below:

$C=18.13gCO_2*\frac{12gC}{44gCO_2} =4.945gC\\H=4.639gH_2O*\frac{2.016gH}{18.0152gH_2O}=0.519gH\\N=2.885gN_2\\O=10.0g-4.945g-0.519g-2.885g=1.651gO$

Next, the corresponding moles:

$C=4.945gC*\frac{1molC}{12gC}=0.412mol\\H=0.519gH*\frac{1molH}{1gH}=0.519mol\\N=2.885gN*\frac{1molN}{14gN}=0.206molN\\O=1.648gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO} =0.103molO$

Then, each element's subscripts is found to be:

$C=\frac{0.412}{0.103}=4\\H=\frac{0.519}{0.103}=5\\N=\frac{0.206}{0.103} =2\\O=\frac{0.103}{0.103}=1$

Therefore, the empirical formula is:

$C_4H_5N_2O$

Nonetheless, it has a molar mass of 97bg/mol, thereby, by multiplying such formula by 2 one gets:

$C_8H_10N_4O_2$

Which has a molar mass of 194 g/mol being correctly contained in the given interval.

Best regards.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate and water: 2 naoh(s) + co2(g) → na2co3(s) + h2o(l) how many

kow [346]

No of moles of naoh = 2.40 ÷ (23+16+1) = 0.06mol

no of moles of na2co3 = 0.06 ÷ 2 = 0.03mol

mass of na2co3 = 0.03 × (23×2+12+16×3) = 0.03 × 106 = 3.18g

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

The pCO2 level in micky"s body is higher than normal it means the excess amount of CO2 will reacts with water to generate carbonic acid(H2CO3).

On the other hand according to the question total HCO3- also higher than normal.As a result the excess HCO3- will react with proton to form carbonic acid which is in turn dissociate to generate CO2 and H2O to maintain normal acid base homeostasis.

From that point of view it can be said Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.
