A molecule with the formula ab3 has a trigonal planar geometry. part a how many electron groups are on the central atom?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>Answer: 3 electron pairs Let's take BF3 for an example. When you find the valence electrons for this molecule --> [3+(3x6)], you'll get 24e-. You draw the Lewis dot structure and each of the F atom would have six dots around it (a total of 18 because there's 3 F atoms) and the B would have three lines [one line attached to each F. One line would equal to 2 valence electrons] and you get a total of 24 valence e-. The question asks how many groups are on the CENTRAL atom, meaning on the B. It would be three</span>

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when ammonium nitrate and potassium hydroxide are combined. N

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Net Ionic equation

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

Option B is correct.

Weak Acid Strong Base

Check Explanation for the extent of the reaction.

Explanation:

Ammonium nitrate = NH₄NO₃

Potassium Hydroxide = KOH

Ammonium salts combine with alkalis to liberate NH₃ and form water.

The two reactants combine to give

NH₄NO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + NH₃ + H₂O

In ionic form,

- NH₄NO₃ exists as NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻

- KOH exists as K⁺ and OH⁻

- KNO₃ as K⁺ and NO₃⁻

And NH₃ and H₂O stay as they are, as per covalent compounds.

So, we have

NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻ + K⁺ + OH⁻ → K⁺ + NO₃⁻ + NH₃ + H₂O

Eliminating the ions that exist on both sides, we have the net ionic equation to be

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

which shows that this reaction is essentially a neutralization reaction in which the Bronsted Lowry acid, NH₄⁺, loses its proton to the base, OH⁻ and gives conjugate base, NH₃ and conjugate acid, H₂O.

This reaction is classified as a Weak acid versus Strong Base reaction as NH₄⁺ is from a Weak acid and OH⁻ is from a strong base.

Since this reaction is between a Weak base and a strong acid, the ionization isn't expected to be 100%, Hence, the extent of this reaction will be any option that is not 100%, a couple pieces of information might be required for the correct estimate, but above 50% seems correct.

Hope this Helps!!!

0.00000000082 -<br> scientific notation

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.2 x 106^-11

Explanation:

To begin this problem you must remember the basic rule of scientific notation, which is, must be between 1-10. .000000000082 is much smaller than 1. However by moving the decimal 11 spots to the right, we can make it 8.2

Continue to move the decimal to the right until the value is in the 1-10 range. Make sure to count the moves to the right.

Once the decimal is in the right spot count the spots moved.

Since the number is wayyy smaller than the answer given the number will be negative 10^-11, in order to make it what is was before.

Titanium and chlorine react to form titanium(IV) chloride, like this:

leva [86]

Answer:

the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction is 8.5 * 10⁷

Explanation:

Ti(s) + 2 Cl₂(g) ⇄ TiCl₄(l)

equilibrium constant Kc = $\frac{1}{[Cl_2]^2}$

Given that,

We are given:

Equilibrium amount of titanium = 2.93 g

Equilibrium amount of titanium tetrachloride = 2.02 g

Equilibrium amount of chlorine gas = 1.67 g

We calculate the No of mole = mass / molar mass

mass of chlorine gas = 1.67 g

Molar mass of chlorine gas = 71 g/mol

mole of chlorine = 1.67 / 71

= 7.0L

Concentration of chlorine is = no of mole / volume

= 0.024 / 7

= 3.43 * 10⁻³M

equilibrium constant Kc = $\frac{1}{[Cl_2]^2}$

= $\frac{1}{[3.43 * 10^-^3]^2}$

= 8.5 * 10⁷
