<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Lewis acid-base concept:

The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.

For the given chemical reaction:

CuO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)

CO_2 is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to CO_3^{2-}. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.

O^{2-} present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.

Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

A liquid has a volume of 34.6 ml and a mass of 46.0 g. what is the density of the liquid?
Minchanka [31]

The density of a substance can simply be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume:

density = mass / volume

 

Therefore calculating for the density since mass and volume are given:

density = 46.0 g / 34.6 mL

density = 1.33 g / mL

A gas is contained in a thick-walled balloon. When the pressure changes from 319 mm Hg to 215 mm Hg, th volume changes from 0.55
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
In this question we need to find the new volume of the gas. Since we have been given the pressure and temperature change, we can used to combined gas law equation.
\frac{P1V1}{T1} =  \frac{P2V2}{T2}
the parameters for 1st instance are given on the left side and parameters for the second instance are given on the right side of the equation
(319 mmHg x 0.558 L)/ 115 K = (215 mmHg x V)/387 K
V = 2.79 L

How many SO32- ions are contained in 99.6 mg of Na2SO3? The molar mass of Na2SO3 is 126.05 g/mol.
DochEvi [55]
99.6 mg= .0996 g
.0996g x (1mol/125.05g) x (1 mol SO3/1 mol Na2SO2) x (6.02 x 10^22/1mol SO3) = 4.79 x 10^19 SO32- ions

Determine the number of bonding electrons and the number of nonbonding electrons in the structure of xef2. enter the number of b
lakkis [162]

Answer : The number of bonding electrons and the number of non-bonding electrons are (4, 18).

Explanation :

The number of bonding electrons and non-bonding electrons in the structure of XeF_2 is determined by the Lewis-dot structure.

Lewis-dot structure : It tell us about the number of valence electrons of an atom within a molecule and it is also shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the lone-pair of electrons.

In the given structure, 'Xe' is the central atom and 'F' is the terminal atom.

Xenon has 8 valence electrons and fluorine has 7 valence electrons.

Total number of valence electrons in XeF_2 = 8 + 2(7) = 22 electrons

From the Lewis-dot structure, we conclude that

The number of electrons used in bonding = 4

The number of electrons used in non-bonding (lone-pairs) = 22 - 4 = 18

Therefore, the number of bonding electrons and the number of non-bonding electrons are (4, 18).

The Lewis-dot structure of XeF_2 is shown below.

From the graph of Density vs. Concentration, created in Graph 1, what was the relationship between the concentration of the suga
USPshnik [31]

The graph is not given in the question, so, the required graph is attached below:

Answer:

According to the graph, the relationship between the density of the sugar solution and the concentration of the sugar solution is directly proportional to each other as they both are increasing exponentially.

The graph shows that, the density of sugar solution will increase with the increase in concentration of sugar in the solution.
