A common neutralization reaction, that is used in titrations, involves sodium hydroxide, NaOH, reacting with nitric acid, HNO3.
sertanlavr [38]
The  common  neutralization  reaction  that  involve  NaOH  reacting   with  HNO3  produces

NaNO3     and  H2O

The  equation  for  reaction  is      as folows
NaOH  + HNO3  =  NaNO3  +  H2O 
that  is  1  mole  of  NaOH  reacted  with  1  mole  of  HNO3  to  form  1  mole  of  NaNO3  and  1  mole  of  H2O

MrRa [10]
At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe that water burns because of water's high HEAT OF VAPORIZATION.
Water possesses high heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat that is needed to convert a unit mass of water to gas. After getting to the boiling point, a lot of heat is still needed to be absorbed by a boiling water before it can be converted to the gaseous form. Thus, the heat that is inherent in the steam is greater than that which is found in the boiling water, that is why the steam causes more damages.

According to VSEPR theory , in which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons be arranged about the central atom in th
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.

Explanation:

The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.

In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.

In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.

In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
