Answer:

All bonds are equivalent in length and strength within the molecule.

Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule that exhibit a D3h symmetry group.

Sulfur has sp2 hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen.

Its constituent sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and a formal charge of 0.

The Lewis structure is made up of one S=O double bond and two S–O dative bonds that doesn't not engage the d-orbitals. ( Thus, SO3 molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom). This explains the strength.

It gaseous form had a zero electrical dipole moment because of the 120° angle between the S-O bonds.

Use the tabulated half-cell potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for the following balanced redox reaction at 25

o-na [289]

The equation Eºcell = 0.0592/n logK must be used to find n and also Eºcell
2 Al(s) + 3 Mg2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Mg(s) Al3+ +3e- --> Al Eº = -1.66 V Mg2+ +2e- -->Mg Eº = -2.37V
To balance the equation, 6 moles of electrons must be transferred (2 Al and 3 Mg). This will be the value of n in the equation.
To find Eºcell, you need the reduction potentials which should be given in a table, and given above. Eºcell = -1.66 - (-2.37) = 0.71 V log K = Eºcell x n/0.0592 = 0.71 x 6/0.0592 log K = 71.95 K = 10^71.95 K = 1.1x10^72

What happens to reactants molecules when forming product molecules?

aleksley [76]

Reactant molecules are any substance that goes into a reaction. When forming product molecules, the reactant molecules combine and create a new molecule (i.e. the combination of methane and oxygen can make carbon dioxide and water).
