Given bh3, o3, co2, and nh3, which of these compound is an exception to the octet rules?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ghella [55]2 years ago
5 0

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.

hope this helps

The following system is at equilibrium:
Delvig [45]

Answer:

1) No shift

2) No shift

3) Leftward shift

4)Rightward sifht

Explanation:

1) 2) Adding N or Removing N in the equilibrium will produce No shift, because of its solid state, the N is not contemplated in the equilibrium equation:

K=\frac{[L]^2}{[M]^3}

3) Increasing the volume produces a decrase in the preassure due to the expansion of the gases. This will cause a leftward shift, because the system will try to increase the moles of gas and in consecuence of this, also increase the preassure.

4) Decreasing the volume has the opposite effect of the item 3): the preassure will increase and the system will consume moles of gas to decrease it, producing a rightward shift.

For a gaseous reaction, standard conditions are 298 K and a partial pressure of 1 atm for all species. For the reaction N 2 ( g
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

ΔG = -52.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 298 K

All species have a partial pressure of 1 atm

Δ G ° = − 69.0 kJ/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇆ 2NH3 (g)

Step 3: Calculate Q

we will use the expression: ΔG = ΔG° + RT*ln(Q)

⇒with Q = the reaction coordinate: Q = (PNH3)²/ ((PN2)*(Ph2)³) = 666.67

Step 4: Calculate ΔG

So, ΔG = -69.0 kJ/mol + (0.008314 kJ/mol*K)*(298 K)*ln(666.67) = -52.9 kJ/mol

(R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol* K OR 0.008314 kJ/mol*K)
