I can’t see what image you have to refer too but India is now part of the rest of Asia due to continental plates running into eachother.
Moles of phosphoric acid would be needed : 0.833
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
15 grams of water
Required
moles of phosphoric acid
Solution
Reaction(decomposition) :
H3PO4 -> H2O + HPO3
mol water (H2O :
= mass : MW
= 15 g : 18 g/mol
= 0.833
From the equation, mol ratio H3PO4 = mol H2O = 1 : 1, so mol H3PO4 = 0.833
Answer:
Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.
Explanation:
The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.
In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.
In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.
In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
