A certain AB4 molecule has a square-planar molecular geometry.

Chemistry

harina [27]3 years ago

Answer:  b). The B−A−B angles between neighboring B atoms are 90∘.

Explanation:  The square planar geometry is the geometry in which the four groups are connected through an angle of 90∘ and all 5 atoms are in one plane.

It is not necessary for the molecule to have two non bonding pair of electrons on atom A but if it does have , then its parent geometry will be distorted octahedral. And if it doesn't have this non bonding pair of electrons then the geometry would be the square planar.

Thus the molecule has four electron domains about the central atom A if the parent geometry is square planar otherwise it would have 8 electron domain in distorted octahedral geometry.

Endergonic reactions:
guapka [62]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) occur when there is more free energy in the reactants than the products.

Explanation :

Endergonic reactions : It i defined as the reaction in which the energy is absorbed during the reaction.

In endergonic reactions, the Gibbs free energy of product is lower than the reactants. That means, ΔG > 0 and the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Exergonic reactions : It i defined as the reaction in which the energy is released during the reaction.

In exergonic reactions, the Gibbs free energy of product is greater than the reactants. That means, ΔG < 0 and the reaction is spontaneous.

Hence, the endergonic reactions is occur when there is more free energy in the reactants than the products.

Why is it unnecessary to include an aluminum trihalide in electrophilic aromatic bromination reaction of acetanilide wih molecul
Helen [10]
Many electrophilic aromatic halogenations require the presence of an aluminum trihalide as a catalyst. We generally acetylated the amino group as protection. Now, this acetanilide can be brominated at Ortho or para position. An atom that is attached to an aromatic system usually hydrogen is replaced by an electrophile is an organic reaction which is called Electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are what you called important electrophilic aromatic substitutions they are aromatic nitration, aromatic sulfonation, aromatic halogenation and acylation and alkylating Friedel-Crafts reaction. Aromatic bromination is an electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reaction, which will require benzene to act as a nucleophile to acquire an electrophile. Therefore, any directing groups that activate the ring will make it react more quickly with respect to aromatic bromination. Acetanilide is a moderately-activated ring <span>having a decent EWG.</span>

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

2 C₄H₁₀(l) + 13 O₂(g) ⇄ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

When a substance burns we talk about a combustion reaction. When combustion is complete the products are carbon dioxide and water, like in this case. The equation is:

C₄H₁₀(l) + O₂(g) ⇄ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

First, we balance the element with the largest stoichiometric coefficient (C).

C₄H₁₀(l) + O₂(g) ⇄ 4 CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Then, we balance H because it is in just 1 compound on each side.

C₄H₁₀(l) + O₂(g) ⇄ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

Finally, we balance O.

C₄H₁₀(l) + 6.5 O₂(g) ⇄ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

Since we want the smallest whole numbers, we multiply all coefficients by 2.

2 C₄H₁₀(l) + 13 O₂(g) ⇄ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)
