Consider the following molecular shapes. (b) Which has the most unshared pairs around the central atom?

1 answer:

5 0

The molecular shapes which have the most electron pairs (both shared and unshared) around the central atom are linear-shaped.

<h3>What are molecular shapes?</h3>

The molecular shapes are the shapes like linear, trigon planner, octahedral, tetrahedral, etc. which depend on the number of atoms and the lone pair and bond pair of atoms.

In linear shape, a maximum number of electrons take part in the hybridization and can also have lone pairs to give repulsion to the bond pairs of the atoms and only 2 electrons take part in bond formation.

Therefore, linear-shaped are the molecular shapes that have the most electron pairs (both shared and unshared) around the central atom.

How many moles (of molecules or formula units) are in each sample?

Alexus [3.1K]

The number of moles in each sample will be 0.391 moles, 30.7 moles, 0.456 moles, and 1350 moles

<h3>What is the number of moles?</h3>

The number of moles of a substance is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the molar mass.

In other words; mole = mass/molar mass.

Thus:

moles of 18.0 g $NO_2$ = 18.0/46

= 0.391 moles

moles of 1.35 kg $CO_2$ = 1350/44

= 30.7 moles

moles of 46.1 g $KNO_3$ = 46.1/101.1

= 0.456 moles

moles of 191.8 kg $Na_2SO_4$ = 191800/142

= 1350 moles

When 10.0 grams of ch4 reacts completely with 40.0 grams of o2 such that there are no reactants left over, 27.5 grams of carbon

Zina [86]

The balanced equation for the reaction is :-

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) ---------> CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mole

Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

Now we calculate the number of moles of reactants,

moles of CH₄ = mass of CH₄/molar mass of CH₄ = 10/16 = 0.625

Moles of O₂ = mass of O₂/molar mass of O₂ = 40/32 = 1.25

Now, as per the balanced reaction, for complete reaction to occur, one mole of CH₄ require 2 moles of O₂

Thus, 0.625 moles of CH₄ requires 1.25 moles of O₂

both CH₄ and O₂ are present in the exact required quantity.

Hence, moles of CO₂ formed = moles of CH₄ reacted = 0.625

Mass of CO₂ formed = moles of CO₂ x Molar mass of CO₂ = 0.625 x 44 = 27.5g

Moles of H₂O formed = moles of O₂ reacted = 1.25g

<span>Thus, mass of H</span>₂O formed = moles of H₂O x molar mass of H₂O = 1.25 x 18 = 22.5g

Which of these is not a precaution taken at nuclear power plants to ensure safety? Safety systems are built into them. All parts

irga5000 [103]

Answer: Enriched uranium is the fuel source.

The nuclear power plants utilizes the radiation energy from the fission of the heavy molecular weight atomic particles. These radiations can cause damage when exposed to the external air, they are capable of causing explosion, mutation in the living beings. Therefore, safety measures should be taken to prevent the damages.

Enriched uranium is the fuel source is not the precaution taken at the nuclear power plant to ensure safety because it is just explaining the fact that the uranium is the source of radiation. All other factors such as safety systems are built into them, all parts are kept in good repair and processes are carefully monitored are relevant precautions.
