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°.

What is the total pressure of a gas mixture containing partial pressures of
Advocard [28]

Answer:

1.54 atm

Explanation:

By Dalton's Law Of partial pressure,

Total Pressure = Sum of all partial pressures

So,P= P1 + P2 + P3

Therefore, P=0.23+0.42+0.89

=1.54 atm

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O <---> C6H12O6 + 6O2, WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?
Alex73 [517]

Increase in Oxygen shift the equilibrium towards reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This is the reaction occurs in the photosynthesis of plants by means of sunlight. In this case, if the concentration of Oxygen increases or adding more oxygen to the product side will shift the equilibrium towards the reactant side according to the Le Chatlier's principle, which adjusts the equilibrium by itself for any changes that is increase or decrease in pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products.

What is the pressure in a 245 L tank that contains 5.21 kg of helium at 27 Celsius ​
Kitty [74]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

(These are not rounded to the correct decimal)

130.94 atm

13,266.6 kPa

99,571.4 mmHg

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

<u></u>

PV = nRT

V = 245L

P = ?

R = 0.08206 (atm) , 8.314 (kPa) , 62.4 (mmHg)

T = 273.15 + 27 = 300.15K

n = 1302.5 moles

How I found (n).

5.21kg x 1000g/1kg x 1 mole/4.0g = 1302.5 moles

Now, plug all the numbers into the equation.

Pressure in atm = (1302.5)(0.08206)(300.15) / 245 = 130.94 atm (not rounded to the correct decimal)

Pressure in kPa = (1302.5)(8.314)(300.15) / 245 = 13,266.6 kPa (not rounded to the correct decimal)

Pressure in mmHg = (1302.5)(62.4)(300.15) / 245 = 99,571.4 mmHg (not rounded to the correct decimal)

What is one way water moves through the nonliving parts of an ecosystem during the water system?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Water moves through the help of living organisms in an ecosystem. ... Plants absorbs water through their root system and loss by transpiration. Water also moves through the living organisms in an ecosystem. Other nonliving processes such as evaporation, precipitation, water returns back into the atmosphere.
