The correct answer is B. The shape of a molecule where three pairs of electrons are shared is a trigonal planar. This is characterized by one central atom and three atoms forming an equilateral triangle which is bonded to the central atom.

What is an ideal gas? how many ideal gases are there in the universe?

tiny-mole [99]

Ideal gases are hypothetical gases whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions, and that consequently obeys the gas laws exactly.
Not exactly sure about the amount...
I hope this helps! :)

At a particular temperature, K 3.39 for the reaction SO2(9) + NO2(9) SOs(9) +NO(9) If all four gases had initial concentrations

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentrations are:

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.563 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 1.04 M

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Equilibrium constant K = 3.39

[SO2] = [NO2] = [SO3] = [NO] = 0.800 M

<u>To determine:</u>

The equilibrium concentrations of the above gases

Calculation:

Set-up an ICE table for the given reaction

$SO2(g) + NO2(g)\rightleftharpoons SO3(g) + NO(g)$

I 0.800 0.800 0.800 0.800

C -x -x +x +x

E (0.800-x) (0.800-x) (0.800+x) (0.800+x)

The equilibrium constant is given as:

$Keq = \frac{[SO3][NO]}{[SO2][NO2]}=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}$

$3.39=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}$

x = 0.2368 M

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.800 -x = 0.800 - 0.2368 = 0.5632 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 0.800 +x = 0.800 + 0.2368 = 1.037 M
