It is used as a fuel in race cars and is a potential replacement for gasoline. Methanol can be manufactured by combination of gaseous carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Suppose 68.5 kg CO (g) is reacted with 8.60 kg H2(g).Calculate the theoretical yield of methanol. If 3.57 x 104 g CH3OH is actually produced, What is the percent yield of methanol?. Answer: 2H2(g) + CO(g)  CH3OH(l) H2 is limiting reagent. Using the molar of CH3OH(32.04g/mol) , we can calculate the theoretical yield in gram = 6.86 x 104 CH3OH Theoretical yield : 52.0 % Chemical Bonding General Features of the Atom • An atom can lose or gain electrons to become an ion, or it can share electrons with another atom to become molecule. Cont’ • When atoms interact to form chemical bond, only their outer regions are in contact. • For this reason ,when we study chemical bonding, we are concerned primarily with valence electrons. • To keep track of valence electrons in a chemical reaction, and to make sure that the total number of electrons does not change, Chemist use a system of dots devised by Lewis and called Lewis dot symbols (Lewis symbols). What is a Valence Electron? • Valence electrons are the outer shell electrons of an atom. • The valence electrons are the electrons that participate in chemical bonding. • The number of valence electrons of an atom is deduced from its electronic configuration. What is a Lewis Symbols? • Lewis dot symbol consist of the symbol of an element and one dot for each valence electron in an atom of the element    Cl  F Li H The Octet Rule Atoms of other element attained stability either by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons until they have duplet (two) or eight(octet) valence electrons. The order in which atomic sub shells are filled in a atom start with the 1s orbital and move downward, following the arrows. Order of orbitals (filling) in multi-electron atom 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s Example: The electronic configuration of an oxygen atom is: (a) O (Z=8) Answer: (a) 8 O: 1s2 2s2 2p4 (The number of valence electron=6) 1s 2s   2p     The Lewis symbol is  O   What is the electron configuration of Mg?
