Answer:

(C) PCl₅

Explanation:

(A) AlCl₄⁻

The central atom has 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is tetrahedral which has an angle of 109.5°.

(B) NH₃

The central atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is pyramidal which has an angle of approximately 107.5°.

(C) PCl₅

The central atom has 5 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³d². The geometry is trigonal bipyramidal in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 120° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

(D) CO₂

The central atom has 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. Hybridization is sp. The geometry is linear which has an angle of 180°.

(E) H₂O

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.

Help please. ASAP.

Answer:

I believe- If there is more metal for the magnet to reach for, then the strength will grow but it may be harder to pick up off of a surface depending on the weight of the nail. If it is a light nail, it would be more efficient for a quick result in having the magnet to pick it up

What is the total pressure of a container in kpa if the partial pressures are 1.25 atm and 66.7 psi?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

586 kpa(kilopascal/1000 pascals)

Explanation:

given 1.24 atm(standard atmosphere), and 66.7 psi(pound force per square inch).

To find the total pressure we should use dalton's law of partial pressures which is the sum of the pressures of each individual gas.

then we convert them to pascals and divide by 1000 to get the measurement in kilopascal.

knowing that 1 atmosphere is proportional to around 14.696 psi. We can multiply our given measure of atm by that and sum it by psi like so. 1.24×14.6959 = 18.22298.

Then,

18.22298+ 66.7 = 84.92298

psi.

Since 1 psi is proportional to around 6894.76 pascals. 1 psi will be 68.9476 kilopascal. 84.92298 * 6.89476 = 585.523336 ≈ 586

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga
vovikov84 [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 L

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Initial volume, V1 = 3.5 L
  • Initial pressure, P1 = 0.8 atm
  • Final pressure, P2 = 0.5 atm

We are required to calculate the final volume;

  • According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.
  • That is; P α 1/V
  • Mathematically, P=k/V
  • At two different pressure and volume;

           P1V1 = P2V2

In this case;

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = P1V1 ÷ P2

     = (0.8 atm × 3.5 L) ÷ 0.5 atm

    = 5.6 L

Therefore, the resulting volume is 5.6 L
