<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.

Calculate the cell potential E at 25°C for the reaction 2 Al(s) + 3 Fe2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Fe(s) given that [Fe 2+] = 0.020 M

Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.18 V

Explanation:

The given cell is:

$Al(s)/Al^{3+}(0.10M)||Fe^{2+}(0.020M)/Fe(s)$

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(0.10M)+2e^-;E^o_{Al^{3+}/Al}=-1.66V$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}(0.020M)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s);E^o_{Fe^{2+}/Fe}=-0.45V$

Multiply Oxidation half reaction by 2 and Reduction half reaction by 3

Net reaction: $2Al(s)+3Fe^{2+}(0.020M)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(0.10M)+3Fe(s)$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=-0.45-(-1.66)=1.21V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Al^{3+}]^2}{[Fe^{2+}]^3}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.21 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 6

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=1.21-\frac{0.059}{6}\times \log(\frac{0.10^2}{0.020^3})\\\\E_{cell}=1.18V$

What is the concentration of a solution made with 0.150 moles of KOH in 400.0 mL of solution?

otez555 [7]

Answer:

$concentration = \frac{0.15}{0.4}=0.375 mol/L$

Explanation:

Concentration: i is defined as the mole per litre.

$concentration = \frac{mole}{volume in L}$

mole=0.15

volume=400 ml=0.4 litre

$concentration = \frac{0.15}{0.4}=0.375 mol/L$
