- Draw the lewis structure and use curved arrows to show the movement of electrons. CaC2 + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + C₂H₂arrow_forwardWrite the two resonance structures for the pyridinium ion, C5H5NH+.arrow_forwardThe most likely Lewis dot structures are those that have small formal charges or no formal charges, especially for the central atom. They also have negative formal charges associated with the atoms of higher electronegativity and positive formal charges assigned to the atoms of lower electronegativity. O True O Falsearrow_forward
- Change ethane into 1,2-ethanediol (HOCH2CH2OH) by removing one hydrogen atom from each carbon atom and replacing with a hydroxide (-OH) group. Draw a Lewis structure for 1,2-ethanediol.arrow_forward1- The following chemical reaction takes place in an aqueous solution: FeBr2 (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → Fe(OH)2 (s) + 2KBr (aq) Write the net ionic equation for this reaction. 2- Draw the Lewis structure for ethane (C2H6). Be certain you include any lone pairs. 3-Predict the products of the reaction below. That is, complete the right-hand side of the chemical equation. Be sure your equation is balanced. HBr + Ca(OH)2 → 4-A chemistry student needs 25.0 g of methyl acetate for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that the density of methyl acetate is 0.934 g *cm-3. Calculate the volume of methyl acetate the student should pour out. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. ____________mL 5- NASA communicates with the Space Shuttle and International Space Station using Ku-band microwave radio.

- Write the Lewis symbols and structures that show how Na2O forms from sodium and oxygen atomsarrow_forwardDraw the Lewis dot structure of the conjugate base of cyclopentane by assuming all the atoms in the molecule obey the octet rule. Show all lone pairs and formal charges. Do no draw resonance structures.arrow_forwardMany free radicals combine to form molecules that do not contain any unpaired electrons. The driving force for the radical- radical combination reaction is the formation of a new electron-pair bond. Consider the formation of hydrogen peroxide. 2 OH(g) → H₂O₂(g) Write Lewis formulas for the reactant and product species in the chemical equation. Include nonbonding electrons.
