Answer:

5 electron groups, see saw

Explanation:

During the formation of SF4, the sulfur atom usually bonds with each of four fluorine atoms where 8 of valence electrons are used. The four fluorine atoms have 3 lone pairs of electrons in its octet which will further utilize 24 valence electrons. In addition, two electrons are present as a lone pair on the sulfur atom. We can determine sulfur’s hybridization state by counting of the number of regions of electron density on sulphur (the central atom in the molecule). When bonding takes place there is a formation of 4 single bonds to sulfur and it has 1 lone pair. Looking at this, we can say that the number of regions of electron density is 5. The hybridization state is sp3d.

SF4 molecular geometry is seesaw with one pair of valence electrons. The molecule is polar. The equatorial fluorine atoms have 102° bond angles instead of the actual 120° angle. The axial fluorine atom angle is 173° instead of the actual 180° bond angle.

What is the molarity of a solution in which 0.321 g of calcium chloride is dissolved in 1.45 L water?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.002 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium chloride = 0.321 g

Volume of water = 1.45 L

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter.

We will calculate the number of moles of calcium chloride first.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 0.321 g/ 110.98 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.003 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = 0.003 mol / 1.45 L

Molarity = 0.002 M

What mass of O2 is needed to completely react with 500 g of Fe
Zina [86]

Answer:

solution given:

Explanation:

4Fe +3O2------------>2Fe2O3

4mole. 3mole. 2 mole

224g. 96g. 320g

we have

224 g of fe needed to react completely with 96 g of O2

500g of fe needed to react completely with

96 ×500/224=214.3g of O2

214.3g of O2 is a required answer.

naturally occurring bromine molecules, br2 have masses of 158, 160, and 162. they occur in the relative abundances 25.69%, 49.99
4vir4ik [10]
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them. 

Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu

As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
