The following figure represents the formation of an ionic compound. Substances A and B are initially uncharged, but when mixed electrons are transferred. Using the figure, identify which substance will form the cation and which will form the anion. Provide a brief (one or two sentences) explanation for your response. (Hint: How does losing electrons affect atomic radii?)

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.

An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another atom (to form a negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.

For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.

A container was found in the home of the victim that contained 120 g of ethylene glycol in 550 g of liquid. How many drinks, each containing 100 g of this liquid, would a 85 kg victim need to consume to reach a toxic level of ethylene glycol

Answers

Answer:

0.432 drinks are toxic

Explanation:

The toxic dose of ethylene glycol is 0.1 mL per kg body weight (mL/kg). In grams (Density ethylene glycol = 1.11g/mL):

1.11g/mL * (0.1mL / kg) = 0.111g/kg

If the victim weighs 85kg, its letal dose is:

85kg * (0.111g/kg) = 9.435g of ethylene glycol

Using the concentration of ethylene glycol in the liquid:

9.435g of ethylene glycol * (550g liquid / 120g ethylene glycol) = 43.2g of liquid are toxic.

The drinks are:

43.2g of liquid * (1 drink / 100 g) =

0.432 drinks are toxic

Draw a line-bond structure for CBrN. Explicitly draw all H atoms. You do not have to include lone pairs in your answer. In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.

Answers

Answer:

Br - C ≡ N

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis line-bond structure we need to bear in mind the octet rule, which states that in order to gain stability each atom tends to share electrons until it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

C has 4 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 4 covalent bonds.

Br has 7 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 1 covalent bond.

N has 5 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 3 covalent bonds.

The most stable structure that respects these premises is:

Br - C ≡ N

It does not have any H atom.

If a student weighs out 0.744 g Fe ( NO 3 ) 3 ⋅ 9 H 2 O , what is the final concentration of the ∼0.2 M Fe ( NO 3 ) 3 solution that the student makes?

Answers

Answer:

Molar concentration of Fe(NO3)3 . 9H2O = 0.12M

Explanation:

Fe(NO3).9H2O --> Fe(NO3)3 + 9H2O

By stoichiometry,

1 mole of Fe(NO3)3 will be absorb water to form 1 mole of Fe(NO3)3 . 9H2O

Therefore, calculating the mass concentration of Fe(NO3)3;

Molar mass of Fe(NO3)3 = 56 + 3*(14 + (16*3))

= 242 g/mol

Mass concentration of Fe(NO3)3 = molar mass * molar concentration

= 242 * 0.2

= 48.4 g/L

Molar mass of Fe(NO3)3 . 9H2O = 56 + 3*(14 + (16*3)) + 9* ((1*2) + 16)

= 242 + 162 g/mol

= 404g/mol

Concentration of Fe(NO3)3 . 9H2O = mass concentration/molar mass

= 48.4 /404

= 0.12 mol/l

Molar concentration of Fe(NO3)3 . 9H2O = 0.12M
