Lewis electron-dot diagrams for CO2 and SO2 are given. The molecular geometry and polarity of the two substances are Lewis structures for C O 2 and S O 2. C O 2 is composed of oxygen atoms on either side of a carbon atom, connected by double bonds. The oxygen atoms have two lone electron pairs. S O 2 is composed of oxygen atoms on either side of a sulfur atom. The oxygen atom on the left has three lone electron pairs and is connected to sulfur by a single bond. The oxygen atom on the right has two lone electron pairs and is connected to sulfur by a double bond. There is one lone pair of electrons on the sulfur atom.

A sample of a compound contains 3.21g of sulfur and 11.4g of fluorine. Which of the following represents the empirical formula of the compound?

At 27°C, five identical rigid 2.0 L vessels are filled with N2(g) and sealed. Four of the five vessels also contain a 0.050 mol sample of NaHCO3(s), NaBr(s), Cu(s), or I2(s), as shown in the diagram. A diagram shows five boxes, numbered 1 through 5. Box 1 contains 0.050 mol of N a H C O 3 (solid). Box 2 contains 0.050 mol N a B r (solid). Box 3 is empty. Box 4 contains 0.050 mol C u (solid). Box 5 contains 0.050 mol I 2 (solid). The volume taken up by the solids is negligible, but the initial pressure of N2(g) in each vessel is 720 mm Hg. All four vessels are heated to 127°C and allowed to reach a constant pressure. The gas particles in Vessel 3 at 27°C are represented in the diagram below. A diagram shows four gas molecules in a box, moving in random directions. Two of the four molecules have long arrows, the third one has a shorter arrow, and the fourth one has the shortest arrow. The lengths of the arrows represent the speeds of the particles. Which of the following diagrams best represents the particles when Vessel 3 is heated to 127°C?

What is the empirical formula of an oxide of chromium that is 48 percent oxygen by mass?

The structural formula of the glycinium cation is shown in the figure. Arrows indicate the pKa values for the labile protons in the molecule. Which statement is true about the geometry of the glycinium cation?   The figure presents a Lewis diagram of a glycinium cation with a positive 1 charge. There is a row of atoms, H, N, C, C, O, and H connected with single bonds. The N atom is connected to two additional H atoms with single bonds. The C atom on the left is connected to two H atoms with single bonds. The C atom on the right is connected to an additional O atom with a double bond. Both O atoms have two nonbonding pairs of electrons. The structure has brackets around it, and there is a plus sign at the top right, indicating that the species has a positive one charge. The leftmost H atom is labeled p K sub a equals 9.6. The rightmost H atom is labeled p K sub a equals 2.3.
