The number of lone pairs that are most likely found on the central atom is zero. There are no lone pairs found on the central atom.

Answer: Zero lone pairs on the central atom.

Explanation:

  • Lone pairs and bond pairs together decides the geometry of the molecule.
  • Bond pairs  together decides the shape of the molecule.

The molecule is with with tetrahedral shape which means that molecule has a tetrahedral geometry.

The value of number of electrons around the central atom with tetrahedral geometry according to VESPR theory is '4'. Which means that electrons around the central atom are 4.

Since, the molecule is in tetrahedral shape which means four bonds are pointing in direction towards the four vertices of tetrahedral which means their are zero lone pair present on the central atom.

The free energy change for the following reaction at 25 °C, when [Cd2+] = 1.20 M and [Fe2+] = 1.40×10-3 M, is -23.9 kJ: Cd2+(1.2
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

It's spontaneous in the reverse direction

Explanation:

A negative voltage indicate s that the reverse reaction is spontaneous (i.e. oxidation at the cathode, and reduction at the anode; by convention you would need to swap the labels on the electrodes)

A 100-watt light bulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.
Semmy [17]

Answer

2.7956 * 10^19 photons

Givens

  • Wavelength = λ = 525 * 10^-9 meters  [1 nmeter = 1*10^-9 meters]
  • c = 3 * 10^8 meters
  • E = ???
  • W = 100  watts
  • t = 1 second
  • h= plank's Constant = 6.26 * 10^-34 J*s

Formula

E = h * c / λ

W = E / t

Solution

E = 6.26 * 10^-34 j*s * 3 * 10^8 m/s /525 * 10^-9 (m)

The meters cancel out. So do the seconds. You are left with Joules as you should be.

E =  3.577 * 10^-18 Joules

What you have found is the energy of 1 photon.

Now you have to find the Joules from the watts.

W = E/t

100 * 1 second = 100 joules

1 photon contains 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18 Joules

x photon = 100 joules                        

1/x = 3.577 * 10^-18 / 100                          Cross multiply

100 = 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18 * x                         Divide both sides by 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18

100/3.577 * 10 ^ - 18 = 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18x / 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18

2.7956 * 10^19 photons = x
