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.

How many grams of aluminum are required to react with 35 mL of 2.0 M hydrochloric acid, HCl?__ HCl + __ Al --> __ AlCl3 + __
kiruha [24]

Answer:

0.6258 g

Explanation:

To determine the number grams of aluminum in the above reaction;

  • determine the number of moles of HCl
  • determine the mole ratio,
  • use the mole ratio to calculate the number of moles of aluminum.
  • use RFM of Aluminum to determine the grams required.

<u>Moles </u><u>of </u><u>HCl</u>

35 mL of 2.0 M HCl

2 moles of HCl is contained in 1000 mL

x moles of HCl is contained in 35 mL

x \: mol \:  =  \:  \frac{2 \:  \times  \: 35}{1000}  \\  = 0.07 \: moles \:

We have 0.07 moles of HCl.

<u>Mole </u><u>ratio</u>

  • Balanced equation

6HCl(aq) + 2Al(s) --> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

Hence mole ratio = 6 : 2 (HCl : Al

  • but moles of HCl is 0.07, therefore the moles of Al;

=  \frac{2}{6}  \times 0.07 \\  \:  = 0.0233333 \: moles

Therefore we have 0.0233333 moles of aluminum.

<u>Grams of </u><u>Aluminum</u>

We use the formula;

grams \:  = moles \:  \times  \: rfm

The RFM (Relative formula mass) of aluminum is 26.982g/mol.

Substitute values into the formula;

= 0.0233333 \: moles  \:  \times  \: 26.982 \:  \frac{g}{mol}  \\  = 0.625799 \: grams

The number of grams of aluminum required to react with HCl is 0.6258 g.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.

The solvolysis of t-butyl bromide in methanol yields 2-methylpropene in an E1 reaction (among other products). What is the effec
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For a reaction that proceeds by E1 mechanism, the rate determining step involves the formation of the carbocation.  

The rate of formation of this carbocation depends only on the concentration of the t-butyl bromide since it is the only specie that enters into the rate equation.

Hence, when the concentration of t-butyl bromide is tripled, the rate of reaction is tripled.

Methanol does not enter into the rate equation hence doubling its concentration does not affect the rate of reaction.
