A molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair is said to have a ________ shape.

nignag [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal

Explanation :

As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.

There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.

Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal

Carbon disulfide is prepared industrially by reacting carbon with sulfur dioxide according to the above equation. If 70.8 g of c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.

Explanation:

We present the reaction:

5C + 2SO₂  →  CS₂  +  4CO

5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:

70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles

Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂

Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles

Suppose you are working in a chemistry lab and trying to make a solution of a substance called Sodium Chloride (which is a solid
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer

Explanation:

The lab apparatus that would be needed to prepare a solution of sodium chloride would be <em>a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer.</em>

The weighing balance would be used to weigh out the required amount of sodium chloride. The beaker or flask would be placed on the weighing balance and its weight zeroed. The spatula would then be sued to take out the sodium chloride from its container into the beaker till the required amount is reached. The measuring cylinder would then be used to measure out the required volume of water which would be added to the salt in the beaker. The stirrer would then be used to stir the mixture in order for the salt to dissolve.
