Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃COOH + NaOH = CH₃COONa + H₂O .

42.5 mL of .115 M of NaOH will contain .0425 x .115 moles of NaOH

= 48.875 x 10⁻⁴ moles NaOH

It will react with same number of moles of acetic acid

So number of moles of acetic acid in 3.45 mL = 48.875 x 10⁻⁴

number of moles of acetic acid in 1000 mL = 48.875 x 10⁻⁴ x 10³ / 3.45 moles

= 1.4167 moles

= 1.4167 x 60 gram

= 85 grams .

So 85 grams of acetic acid will be contained in one litre of acetic acid.

Draw a second resonance structure for the following ion (be sure to include the charges and all lone pairs)... + ..N=N=N <---
joja [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resonance structure occurs in an organic compound that undergoes resonance effects. This resonance effect is sometimes called the mesomeric effect helps to increases the stability of organic compounds that have alternating single bonds and double bonds.

The second resonance structure diagram for the ion given in the question can be found in the attached diagram below.

what does the number of the places after the decimal in a measurement tell you about the precision of the instrument that record
snow_lady [41]
The more numbers after the decimal point there are, the more precise the instrument which recorded it is. For example, if one instrument during seismic activity records that the magnitude of the earthquake was 2.3, and another instrument recorded that it was 2.3645, the second instrument would have shown to be more precise.

For each case below, identify the most likely value for x: a. BHx b. CHx c. NHx d. CH2Clx
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

BHx, x=3

CHx, x=4

NHx, x=3

CH2Clx, x=2

Explanation:

We have to know that the value of x must depend on the valency of the central atom. If we look at each of the species;

Boron has a common valency of 3

Carbon has a common valency of 4

Nitrogen has a common valency of 3

The valency of each elements will determine the most likely value of x as outlined in the answer above.
