Four coordinate nickel complexes can have another geometry other than tetrahedral. Name that geometry, and explain why the absor

ption spectrum you took strongly suggests a tetrahedral geometry, as opposed to the other possible option. Hint: Think about the allowedness of transitions in the two geometries.

Answer:

The other geometry is square planar and this is because the four coordinate complexes forms d⁸ configuration.

Explanation:

(1) The other geometry is square planar

(2) This absorption spectrum (square planar) strongly suggests a tetrahedral geometry because  in the molecular geometry, a central atom is surrounded by constituent atoms, which form the corners of a square on the same plane.

This square planar is as a results of d⁸ electronic configuration and this is common for transition metal complexes with d⁸ configuration.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

pH = 12.8

Explanation:

HF + NaOH → F⁻ + Na⁺ + H₂O

<em>1 mole of HF reacts with 1 mole of NaOH</em>

<em />

Initial moles of HF and NaOH are:

HF = 0.018L × (0.308mol / L) = 5.544x10⁻³mol HF

NaOH = 0.023L × (0.361mol / L) = 8.303x10⁻³mol NaOH

That means moles of NaOH remains after reaction are:

8.303x10⁻³mol - 5.544x10⁻³mol = <em>2.759x10⁻³moles NaOH</em>

Total volume is 18.0mL + 23.0mL = 41.0mL = 0.0410L

Molar concentration of NaOH is

2.759x10⁻³moles NaOH / 0.0410L = 0.0673M = [OH⁻]

pOH = - log [OH⁻] = 1.17

As pH = 14 - pOH

<em>pH = 12.8</em>

 What is the subject chemistry actually all about? Is it hard, and should I take regular or honors?
horsena [70]
It depends if you are taking the class in high school or college. For college doing the experiments is fun but the calculations is not. Also if you are taking it, bring friends.

Use molecular orbital theory to determine whether f22+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
Alexxandr [17]

We have to know whether F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

If number of unpaired electron in any species is equal to zero, the species is diamagnetic and the species contains unpaired electrons, then the species is paramagnetic.

The magnetic property can be explained using molecular orbital theory.

Total number of electron present in   F₂²⁺ is equal to 16 (i.e, 9+9-2). From the molecular orbital electronic configuration, number of electrons present in pi orbitals present is equal to 2.

So,  F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

The enthalpy of combustion for octane (C8H18(l)), a key component of gasoline, is -5,074 kJ/mol. This value is the Delta. Hrxn f
Inessa [10]

Combustion can be defined as the reaction of a compound with oxygen. The enthalpy of combustion of octane is \Delta H_{\rm rxn} for \rm C_8H_{18}\;+\;25\;O_2\;\rightarrow 8\;CO_2\;+\;9\;H_2O.

<h3>What is the enthalpy of reaction?</h3>

The enthalpy of reaction is the amount of heat energy absorbed or lost by the molecules in the chemical reaction.

The enthalpy of combustion is the amount of heat energy released by the compound in the reaction with oxygen.

The reaction in which heat is liberated with the reaction of a compound with oxygen has an enthalpy of combustion, equivalent to the enthalpy of reaction.

The combustion of octane can be given as:

\rm C_8H_{18}\;+\;25\;O_2\;\rightarrow 8\;CO_2\;+\;9\;H_2O

Thus, the reaction has combustion energy equivalent to the enthalpy of the reaction is \rm C_8H_{18}\;+\;25\;O_2\;\rightarrow 8\;CO_2\;+\;9\;H_2O. Thus, option B is correct.
