Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for $CO_2$ has a central Carbon atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the $CO_2$ we will have a structure: O=C=O the central atom "carbon" we will have 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds, therefore, we have an Sp hybridization. For O we have 1 pi and 1 sigma bond, therefore, we have an Sp2 hybridization.

2) These atoms are held together by double bonds.

Again in the structure of $CO_2$ : O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a Linear electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is Sp hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an Sp hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

A solution contains 0.0150 M Pb2+(aq) and 0.0150 M Sr2+(aq) . If you add SO2−4(aq) , what will be the concentration of Pb2+(aq)

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.10 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol/L}}$

Explanation:

1. Concentration of SO₄²⁻

SrSO₄(s) ⇌ Sr²⁺(aq) +SO₄²⁻(aq); Ksp = 3.44 × 10⁻⁷

0.0150 x

$K_{sp} =\text{[Sr$^{2+}$][SO$_{4}^{2-}$]} = 0.0150x = 3.44 \times 10^{-7}\\x = \dfrac{3.44 \times 10^{-7}}{0.0150} = \mathbf{2.293 \times 10^{-5}} \textbf{ mol/L}$

2. Concentration of Pb²⁺

PbSO₄(s) ⇌ Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq); Ksp = 2.53 × 10⁻⁸

x 2.293 × 10⁻⁵

$K_{sp} =\text{[Pb$^{2+}$][SO$_{4}^{2-}$]} = x \times 2.293 \times 10^{-5} = 2.53 \times 10^{-8}\\\\x = \dfrac{2.53 \times 10^{-8}}{2.293 \times 10^{-5}} = \mathbf{1.10 \times 10^{-3}} \textbf{ mol/L}\\\\\text{The concentration of Pb$^{2+}$ is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.10 \times 10^{-3}}\textbf{ mol/L}}$}$

Element X reacts with copper to form the compounds CuX and CuX2. In which group on the Periodic Table is element X found?

lapo4ka [179]

Cu has two possible charges: plus 1 and plus 2. Thus, when copper is combined with an anion (negatively charged ion), the anion carries a subscript of one or two. This is shown in the given, Moreover, the given shows copper carries a subscript only of one. This means the anion has an original charge of negative one. These elements belong to the halogen family (Group 17).

Answer:

3.02× 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of nitrogen atoms = ?

Number of moles of N₂O = 2.51 mol

Solution:

1 mole contain 2 mole of nitrogen atoms.

2.51 × 2 = 5.02 mol

According to Avogadro number,

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

5.02 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1 mol

30.2 × 10²³ atoms

3.02× 10²⁴ atoms

127) Thirty-six colonies grew in nutrient agar from 1.0 ml of undiluted sample in a standard plate count. How many cells were in

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the sample was undiluted the number of colonies is the number that grew on the nutrient agar which is 36 colonies. If it was diluted for example let say 0.1 ml from a dilution in which 1 ml of the sample was added to 9 ml of water, and it grew colonies then 0.1 ml yielded 6 colonies, 1 ml of the diluted sample will yield 60 colonies and 10 ml will have 600 colonies and therefore the 1 ml undiluted sample will have 600 colonies.

Which quantity can vary among atoms of the same element?

Wewaii [24]

There is this thing called isotopes
it means that atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons.
if there is a change in the no. of neutrons, there will definitely be a change in the mass number.

so the answer is A) mass number
