Describe the electron cloud for SO3 and CO3(2-).

Expert Solution

Answer – We are given the molecule SO₃ and CO₃^2- and we need to describe the electron cloud for each –

1)SO₃ – We know in this one the S atom is the center atom and according to Lewis dot structure of the SO₃

Total valance electrons = 6 + 6*3

= 24 electrons

So in the SO₃ molecule there are 24 electrons spread on the S and 3 O.

There are 12 electron around the central atom and 12 electron on the 3 O. So electron cloud distributed equal on the center atom and the other 3 atoms.

2) CO₃^2- – We know in this one the C atom is the center atom and according to Lewis dot structure of the CO₃^2-

Total valance electrons = 4 + 6*3 +2

= 24 electrons

So in the CO₃^2- molecule there are 24 electrons spread on the C and 3 O.

There are 8 electrons around the central atom and 16 electrons on the 3 O. The one two -O has more electron density and it is revolving within the 3 O.

The alkalinity of natural waters is usually controlled by OH- , CO3 2- , and HCO3 - , which may be present alone or in combination. Titrating a 100.0 mL sample to a pH of 8.3 requires 18.70 mL of a 0.0281 M solution of HCl. A second 100.0 mL aliquot requires 48.20 mL of the same titrant to reach a pH of 4.5. Calculate the concentrations of CO3 2- and HCO3 - in ppm.
