The Lewis structure of Chloroacetate (H₂CClCO₂) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with CH₂Cl and O⁻.

Formal Charge;
Formal charge is caculated as,

Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]

Formal charge on Oxygen (Highlighted Red);

Formal charge = 6 - [ 6 + 2/2]

Formal charge = 6 - [6 + 1]

Formal charge = 6 - [7]

Formal charge = -1

4.8g of calcium is added to 3.6g of water. The following reaction occurs

notka56 [123]

Q1)
the number of moles can be calculated as follows
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
number of moles is the amount of substance.
4.8 g of Ca was added therefore mass present of Ca is 4.8 g
molar mass of Ca is 40 g/mol
molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of Ca
therefore if we substitute these values in the equation
number of moles of Ca = 4.8 g / 40 g/mol = 0.12 mol
0.12 mol of Ca is present

q2)
next we are asked to calculate the number of moles of water present
again we can use the same equation to find the number of moles of water
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
3.6 g of water is present

sum of the products of the molar masses of the individual elements by the number of atoms
H - 1 g/mol and O - 16 g/mol
molar mass of water = (1 g/mol x 2 ) + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol
molar mass of H₂O is 18 g/mol
therefore number of moles of water = 3.6 g / 18 g/mol = 0.2 mol
0.2 mol of water is present

Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the following masses of its components:

209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C

209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H

209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C

12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H

149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Which of the following compounds has polar covalent bonds: NaBr, Br2, HBr, and CBr4?

svetlana [45]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.

For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.

Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, $CBr_{4}$ will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.

Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.

For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = $C_4H_8O$

The formula of Valproic acid = $C_8H_{16}O_2$

Explanation:

Mass of water obtained = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of $H_2O$ = 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles

2 moles of hydrogen atoms are present in 1 mole of water. So,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles

Molar mass of H atom = 1.008 g/mol

Mass of H in molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g

Mass of carbon dioxide obtained = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Moles of $CO_2$ = 0.403 g /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles

1 mole of carbon atoms are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So,

Moles of C = 0.009157 moles

Molar mass of C atom = 12.0107 g/mol

Mass of C in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g

Given that the Valproic acid only contains hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. So,

Mass of O in the sample = Total mass - Mass of C - Mass of H

Mass of the sample = 0.165 g

Mass of O in sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g

Molar mass of O = 15.999 g/mol

Moles of O = 0.036412 / 15.999 = 0.002276 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O and C as:

0.01844 : 0.002276 : 0.009157

= 8 : 1 : 4

The empirical formula is = $C_4H_8O$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16= 72 g/mol

Molar mass = 144 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

144 = n × 72

⇒ n = 2

The formula of Valproic acid = $C_8H_{16}O_2$
