Answer:

Two (2) electron pairs

Explanation:

The sharing of electron pairs by atoms forms a type of bond called COVALENT bond. Atoms that form covalent bonding (share electrons) do so in order to fill their outermost electron shells, hence, gain chemical stability.

However, when two atoms like carbon share TWO PAIRS of electrons with each other, a DOUBLE BOND is formed. An example is the double bond formed in Ethylene (2HC=CH2). A total of four valence electrons (a pair from each carbon) are shared between the two carbon atoms.

What is the pH of a 5.09 x 10-5 M solution of NaOH?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: The pH of the solution is 9.71

Explanation:

1 mole of NaOH produces 1 mole of sodium ions and 1 mole of hydroxide ions.

We are given:

pOH of the solution = 7.2

To calculate the pH of the solution, we need to determine pOH of the solution. To calculate pOh of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=5.09\times 10^{-5}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(5.09\times 10^{-5})\\\\pOH=4.29$

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-4.29=9.71$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 9.71

On a cold morning, the smoke coming out of a chimney is observed to be in blue color. What could be the reason? Name the effect

nirvana33 [79]

Stack effect? I'm not totally sure about this...

Explanation:

Large amount of tiny particles of water droplets, dust and smoke are present on a misty day. These tiny particles in the air scatter blue colour of white light passing through it. When this scattered light reaches our eyes, the smoke appears blue.

Which equation is used to help form the combined gas law? eP, V, P, V, т.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The combined gas law is formulated from PV/T =K.

Explanation:

The combined gas law comprises of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay lusaac's law. This laws were not discovered but simply put together considering other cases of ideal gas law. It states that if the amount of gas is left unchanged, the ratio between the pressure, volume, and temperature is constant.
