Concept explainers
Interpretation: Name, chemical formula of the chemical fertilizer compound and Lewis diagrams for the two types of ions that make it up should be given.
Concept introduction: Molar mass is defined as average
The formula to calculate mass percent composition for each element is,
Inorganic polyatomic cations have special names such as ammonium,
Many polyatomic anions exist. The names of the oxyanions are derived by adding the suffix -ate to the end of the name of the second element.
Lewis structure of a compound is referred to as a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons of a molecule.

- A liquid compound used in dry cleaning contains 14.5% C and 85.5% Cl by mass and has a molecular mass of 166 amu. Write the Lewis formula for the molecule.arrow_forwardA gaseous compound has the following composition by mass: C, 25.0%; H, 2.1%; F, 39.6%; 0. 33.3%. Its molecular mass is 96.0 amu. Write the Lewis formula for the molecule.arrow_forwardWhich of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: P, I, Mg, Cl, In, Cs, O, Pb, Co?arrow_forward
- An organic compound that is distilled from wood has a molar mass of 32.04g/mol. It’s composition by mass is 37.5% carbon, 12.6% hydrogen, and 49.9% oxygen. Draw the Lewis structure of this compound.arrow_forwardWhat possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)? [:ö==S: N= CO :O: The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with three lone pairs on the sulfur. There are no errors. This is the best possible structure. The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure. The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible. The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.arrow_forwardMethanol, H3COH, is used as the fuel in some race cars. Ethanol, C2H5OH, is used extensively as motor fuel in Brazil. Both methanol and ethanol produce CO2 and H2O when they burn. Write the chemical equations for thesecombustion reactions using Lewis structures instead of chemical formulas.arrow_forward
- Acetyl chloride, CH₃C(O)Cl, is used as a reagent for the acylation of salicylic acid in the synthesis of aspirin. Draw the Lewis structure of CH₃C(O)Cl (with minimized formal charges) and then determine if the molecule is polar or nonpolar. +arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis symbols for boron and sulfur.arrow_forwardAn organic compound that is distilled from wood has a molar mass of 32.04 g/mol. Its composition by mass is 37.5% carbon, 12.6% hydrogen, and 49.9% oxygen. Draw the Lewis structure of this compound.arrow_forward
- Formic acid is responsible for the sting of ant bites. By mass, formic acid is 26.10% C, 4.38% H, and 69.52% O. The molar mass of formic acid is 46.02 g>mol. Determine the molecular formula of formic acid and draw its Lewis structure.arrow_forwardWrite Lewis dot symbols for (a) Ca2+, (b) N3−, and (c) I −.arrow_forwardA 0.167-g sample of an unknown acid requires 27.8 mL of 0.100 M NaOH to titrate to the equivalence point. Elemental analysis of the acid gives the following percentages by mass: 40.00% C, 6.71% H, 53.29% O. Determine the molecular formula, molar mass, and Lewis structure of the unknown acid.arrow_forward
