The molecular geometry of a molecule describes the three-dimensional shape of just the atoms. This is in contrast to the electro

nic geometry, which describes the shape of all electron regions. To determine the molecular geometry of a molecule, one must first determine the electronic geometry by drawing the Lewis structure. What is the molecular geometry of PH3?

Answer:

trigonal pyramid

Explanation:

PH_3

Valence electrons of phosphorus = 5

Valence electrons of hydrogen  = 1

The total number of the valence electrons  = 5 + 3(1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,  

<u>The Lewis structure is shown below in the image below.</u>

The central atom , P has 3 bonded pairs of electrons and 1 non bonded.

Number of bond pairs = 3

Number of lone pairs = 1

The formula is AB_3L.

<u>According to VSEPR theory, PH_3 has trigonal pyramidal shape to minimize the repulsions. </u>

A shiny chunk of metal is found to have a mass of 37.28g. The metal is dropped into a graduated cylinder which contains 20.0 mL
Amanda [17]

Answer: The density of the material is 2.66 g/mL and it is likely this  is made of Aluminum

Explanation:

The first step to know the material of the chunk of metal is to calculate its density. The general formula for density is P (density) = \frac{m (mass)}{ v (volume)}. Moreover, in this case, it is known the mass is 37.28 g, but the volume is not directly provided. However, we know the water in the graduated cylinder had a volume of 20.0 mL and this increased to 34.0 mL when the chunk of metal is added, this means the volume of the metal is 14 mL (34.0 mL - 20.0 mL = 14 mL). Now let's calculate the density:

P = \frac{37.28g}{14.0mL}

P = 2.66 g/mL

This means the density of this metal is 2.66 g/mL, which can be rounded as 2. 7 g/mL, and according to the chart, this is the density of aluminum. Therefore, this material of this chunk is aluminum.

Use complete sentences to differentiate between acids and bases on the basis of touch. Give an example of each type. PLEASE HELP
aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Bases have a slippery feel when touched but acids do not have a slippery feel.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions, H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution. Here are some of its properties:
  1. Their dilute solutions have a sour taste.
  2. They have a burning effect on the skin and are highly corrosive on metals.
  3. They have the ability to change the colors of indicators.
  4. They react with bases to form salt and water only.

Examples of acids are:

                Hydrochloric acid                  HCl

                Tetraoxosulphate (VI ) acid H₂SO₄

               

  • A base is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqueous solution.
  1. They typically have a bitter taste.
  2. They have a soapy feel
  3. They are electrolytes
  4. They also change the color of indicators

Examples are:

                Potassium hydroxide      KOH

                Sodium hydroxide           NaOH

A sample of ethanol (C2H6O) has a mass of 0.2301 g. Complete combustion of this sample causes the temperature of a bomb calorime
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:  4.994\times 10^{-3}  moles

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass , occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethanol = 0.2301

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

\text{Number of moles of ethanol}=\frac{0.2301g}{46.07g/mol}=4.994\times 10^{-3}

Thus there are 4.994\times 10^{-3}  moles of ethanol are present in the sample.
