Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
Answer:
D. It contains a phosphate with higher phosphoryl transfer potential than ATP
Explanation:
1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate contains a phosphate group that has high phosphoryl transfer potential than ATP (they can transfer the phosphoryl group to ATP). Other high phosphoryl transfer potential groups include :Creatine kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate.
Answer: 404.04 kJ.
Explanation:
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
moles of

According to stoichiometry :
2 moles of
on burning produces = 1036 kJ
Thus 0.78 moles of
on burning produces =
Thus the enthalpy change when burning 26.7 g of hydrogen sulfide is 404.04 kJ.
Answer:
The mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
Explanation:
An atom is made of three different particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) each have a mass of 1 AMU. They are both found in the nucleus (centre) of the atom.
Electrons (negative charge) are considered to have a mass of 0. Their mass is not actually 0, but very close so we do not count them. They are not in the nucleus, but found in shells surrounding the atom.
To calculate the mass of an atom, we add the number of protons and the number of electrons.
m = P + N
