Answer: (3) 15

Explanation: We criss-cross down the oxidation numbers to get the subscripts for the correct formulas. That means the X has an oxidation number of 5. The element with the + oxidation number is always written first so it is +5. Of the groups names, only group 15 has +5 as an oxidation number.

stiv31 [10]

Explanation:

The observation of student was that thermometer reading changed from 27°C to 35°C which indicates that temperature of the beaker solution rose after reaction due to release of heat during reaction as a product.

Those chemical reactions which gives heat energy as a product into their surrounding are categorized as exothermic reactions. During the course of these reaction temperature of the surroundings also increased.

So, this means that reaction between silver nitrate and copper wire is an exothermic reaction.

Three ways that the student could speed up the reaction :

By adding catalyst to the reaction.
By decreasing the temperature.
By increasing the concentration of silver nitarte solution.

Carbon dioxide readily absorbs radiation with an energy of 4.67 x 10-20 J. What is the wavelength and frequency of this radiatio

Tanya [424]

Answer:

ν = 7.04 × 10¹³ s⁻¹

λ = 426 nm

It falls in the visible range

Explanation:

The relation between the energy of the radiation and its frequency is given by Planck-Einstein equation:

E = h × ν

where,

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s)

ν is the frequency

Then, we can find frequency,

$\nu = \frac{E}{h}= \frac{4.67 \times 10^{-20}J }{6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s} = 7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1}$

Frequency and wavelength are related through the following equation:

c = λ × ν

where,

c is the speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)

λ is the wavelength

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu } =\frac{3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s }{7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1} } =4.26 \times 10^{-6}m.\frac{10^{9}nm }{1m} = 426 nm$

A 426 nm wavelength falls in the visible range (≈380-740 nm)

Draw the Lewis structure (including resonance structures) for diazomethane (CH2N2)(CH2N2). For each resonance structure, assign

Tanya [424]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $CH_2N_2$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of $CH_2N_2$ .

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

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $CH_2N_2$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $CH_2N_2$ = 4 + 2(1) + 2(5) = 16

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

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

For structure 1 :

$\text{Formal charge on H}=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1$

For structure 2 :

$\text{Formal charge on H}=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on C}=4-0-\frac{8}{2}=0$

Analysis of the water content of a lake found in the desert showed that it contained 16.6 percent chloride ion, and had a densit

IRISSAK [1]

Answer : The molarity of the chloride ion in the water is, 5.75 M

Explanation :

As we are given that 16.6 % chloride ion that means 16.6 grams of chloride ion present 100 grams of solution.

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

$\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}$

$\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{100g}{1.23g/mL}=81.3mL$

Now we have to calculate the molarity of chloride ion.

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of chloride ion}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of chloride ion}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{16.6g\times 1000}{35.5g/mole\times 81.3mL}=5.75mole/L=5.75M$

Thus, the molarity of the chloride ion in the water is, 5.75 M
