Answer:

a. BH₃

Explanation:

According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.

From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.

What is the percent cr, by mass, in the steel sample? express your answer numerically as a percentage?

djverab [1.8K]

Given:3.40g sample of the steel used to produce 250.0 mLSolution containing Cr2O72−

Assuming all the Cr is contained in the BaCrO4 at the end.
(0.145 g BaCrO4) / (253.3216 g BaCrO4/mol) x (250.0 mL / 10.0 mL) x (1 mol Cr / 1 mol BaCrO4) x (51.99616 g Cr/mol / (3.40 g) = 0.219 = 21.9% Cr

A mixture of 0.600 mol of bromine and 1.600 mol of iodine is placed into a rigid 1.000-L container at 350°C.

kaheart [24]

The equilibrium constant of the reaction is 282. Option D

<h3>What is equilibrium constant?</h3>

The term equilibrium constant refers to the number that often depict how much the process is able to turn the reactants in to products. In other words, if the reactants are readily turned into products, then it follows that the equilibrium constant will be large and positive.

Concentration of bromine = 0.600 mol /1.000-L = 0.600 M

Concentration of iodine = 1.600 mol/1.000-L = 1.600M

In this case, we must set up the ICE table as shown;

Br2(g) + I2(g) ↔ 2IBr(g)

I 0.6 1.6 0

C -x -x +2x

E 0.6 - x 1.6 - x 1.190

If 2x = 1.190

x = 1.190/2

x = 0.595

The concentrations at equilibrium are;

[Br2] = 0.6 - 0.595 = 0.005

[I2] = 1.6 - 0.595 = 1.005

Hence;

Kc = [IBr]^2/[Br2] [I2]

Kc = ( 1.190)^2/(0.005) (1.005)

Kc = 282

a 25 ml volume of a sodium hydroxide solution requires 19.6 mL of a 0.189 M HCl acid for neutralization. A 10 mL volume of phosp

Drupady [299]

Answer: 0.172 M

Explanation:

a) To calculate theconcentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.189M\\V_1=19.6mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=?\\V_2=25mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.189\times 19.6=1\times M_2\times 25\\\\M_2=0.148$

b) To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $H_3PO_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=3\\M_1=?\\V_1=10mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.148\\V_2=34.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3\times M_1\times 10=1\times 0.148\times 34.9\\\\M_1=0.172M$

The concentration of the phosphoric acid solution is 1.172 M

Please i need help really quickly on this. thank you

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

the error could have been the fact that the unit for volume wasn't changed from cm³ to dm³

hence the calculation error

the solution to this would be first dividing the volume by 1000 to get that same amount in dm³ which is the standard unit to be used for volume-density calculations
