Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.

mamaluj [8]

Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be $sp^2$ .

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be $sp^3$ .

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d$ .

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ .

Under certain conditions Argon gas diffuses at a rate of 3.2 cm per second under the same conditions an unknown gas diffuses at

kozerog [31]

Answer:

20 g/mol

Explanation:

We can use Graham’s Law of diffusion:

The rate of diffusion (r) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

$r = \frac{1 }{\sqrt{M}}$

If you have two gases, the ratio of their rates of diffusion is

$\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}$

Squaring both sides, we get

$(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})^{2} = \frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}$

Solve for M₂:

$M_{2} = M_{1} \times (\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}})^{2}$

$M_{2} = \text{39.95 g/mol} \times (\frac{\text{3.2 cm/s}}{\text{4.5 cm/s}})^{2}= \text{39.95 g/mol} \times (0.711 )^{2}$

$= \text{39.95 g/mol} \times 0.506 = \textbf{20 g/mol}$
