Chapter 4, Problem 53P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure for malic acid needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The Lewis structure is drawn considering the arrangement if atoms in a molecule. The total number of valence electrons needs to be calculated first. The distribution of electrons takes place in such a way that all the atoms have complete octets. The lone pair of electrons or electrons not involved in the bonding are placed on the symbol of the atoms. The bonding electrons are represented by line or bond between the two atoms.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The molecular shape of the atoms A to C needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The shape of the molecule around an atom can be determined from the VSEPR theory. According to this theory, the shape of the molecule depends on its geometry and number of lone pair of electrons around an atom.

The geometry of a molecule depends on its hybridization as follows:

Lone pairsBond pairsMolecular geometryShape
02LinearLinear
03Trigonal planarTrigonal planar
12Trigonal planarBent
04TetrahedralTetrahedral
13TetrahedralTrigonal pyramidal
22TetrahedralBent

At 0oC and 1 atm, the viscosity of hydrogen (gas) is 8.55x10-5 P. Calculate the viscosity of a gas, if possible, consisting of deuterium. Assume that the molecular sizes are equal.
Indicate the correct option for the velocity distribution function of gas molecules:a) its velocity cannot be measured in any other way due to the small size of the gas moleculesb) it is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) it describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocitiesd) it describes other magnitudes, such as pressure, energy, etc., but not the velocity of the molecules
