A Mercury(II) chloride dissolves in water to give poorly conducting solutions, indicating that the compound is largely nonionize

d in solution—it dissolves as HgCl2 molecules. Describe the bonding of the HgCl2 molecule, using valence bond theory. b Phosphorus trichloride, PCl3, is a colorless liquid with a highly irritating vapor. Describe the bonding in the PCl3 molecule, using valence bond theory. Use hybrid orbitals.

Answer:

Using valence bond theory, HgCl2 is sp hybridized while PCl3 is sp3 hybridized.

Explanation:

sp hybridized molecules are largely covalent and cannot conduct electricity hence the nonconducting nature of HgCl2. PCl3 contains a lone pair and three unpaired electrons in sp3 hybridized orbitals.

Which feature indicates that Mars resides in the inner region of the solar system?
amm1812

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation: There are 2 regions of the solar system.

1) Inner region: There are 4 planets which lie in this region: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner region planets are rocky in nature. The orbit time of these planets around the sun is short. They have 0, 1 or 2 satellites in total. There is no ring system in these planets.

2) Outer region: There are 4 planets which lie in this region: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The outer region planets are gaseous in nature. The orbit time of these planets around the sun is long. They have usually more number of satellites around them. Ring system in these planets is very common.

Hence, Mars resides in the inner region of the solar system because it has a rocky surface that one could firmly stand on.

In breckenridge, colorado, the typical atmospheric pressure is 520. torr. what is the boiling point of water (hvap 40.7 kj/mol)
Art [367]
<span>362.51 Kelvin ln (p1/p2) =( dH / R) (1/T2 - 1/T1) ln (760 Torr /520Torr) =( 40,700 Joules / 8.314 J molâ’1K-1)(1/T2 - 1/373K) ln (1.4615) =( 4895.35)(1/T2 - 0.002681) 0.37946 = 4895.35/T2 - (0.002681)(4895.35) 0.37946 = 4895.35/T2 - (13.124) 0.37946 + 13.124 = 4895.35/T2 13.5039 = 4895.35/T2 T2 = 4895.35 / 13.5039 T2 = 362.51 answer is 362.51 Kelvin - 273 answer is also 89.5 Celsius</span>

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, which type of process is it?
ser-zykov [4K]
If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, the process is endothermic.

The process requires heat in order to proceed. If ice stays in a very cold place, it will not melt unless it's heated. If ice is placed outside where it melts on its own, it gets the heat from the surroundings.
