To help, I drew a diagram. This represents an ionic bond between Na and Cl. Na is giving his single electron to Cl, which is indicated by the arrow, to make Cl full with 8 electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1. So, it means there is only one valence electron present in a sodium atom. This valence electron is represented by a dot in the Lewis structure.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7. So, it means there are seven valence electrons present in a chlorine atom. These valence electrons are represented by seven dots in the Lewis structure.

Also, in order to attain stability sodium will lose one valence electron and this valence electron will be gained by chlorine atom.

Therefore, an arrow pointed from dot near Na to Cl shows that an electron is being donated from Na to the Cl atom.

A solution contains 10.0 g pentane, C5H12, 20.0 g hexane, C6H14, and 10.0 g benzene, C6H6. What is the mole fraction of hexane?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

b) 0.47

Explanation:

MwC5H12 = 72.15g/mol

⇒mol C5H12 = (10.0)*(mol/72.15)=0.1386molC5H12

MwC6H14=86.18g/mol

⇒molC6H14=(20.0)*(mol/86.18)=0,232

MwC6H6=78.11g/mol

⇒molC6H6=(10.0)*(mol/78.11)=0.128molC6H6

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:

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

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.
