Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The term Lewis electron-dot symbol has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The chemical bond is an attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions is called ionic bond. The bond result from the mutual sharing of electrons is called a covalent bond.
Explanation of Solution
Lewis electron-dot symbols can be used to predict the number of bonds formed by most elements in their compounds. Lewis electron-dot symbol consists of the chemical symbol for an element surrounded by dots that represent its valence electrons.
Some features of the Lewis electron-dot symbol are as follows:
1. It is the representation of valence electrons.
2. It allows to keep track of valence electrons during bond formation.
3. It consists of the chemical symbol for the element and a dot for each valence electron.
The steps to write Lewis electron-dot symbol are as follows:
Step1: In this step, the dots that represent its valence electrons are placed one at a time, around the element’s chemical symbol. The first four dots are placed above, below, to the left, and to the right of the symbol. So, those elements with four or fewer valence electrons have one dot in each position.
Step 2: The dots for elements with more than four valence electrons are again placed one by one. The first four valence electrons are paired one by one.

- 1) Suppose 0.1 kg ice at 0°C (273K) is in 0.5kg water at 20°C (293K). What is the change in entropy of the ice as it melts at 0°? To produce the original "water gas" mixture, carbon (in a combustible form known as coke) is reacted with steam: 131.4 kJ + H20(g) + C(s) → CO(g) + H2(g) From this information and the equations in the previous problem, calculate the enthalpy for the combustion or carbon to form carbon dioxide. kindly show me how to solve this long problem.
