A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.
Answer:
74.4 ml
Explanation:
C₆H₈O₇(aq) + 3NaHCO₃(s) => Na₃C₆H₅O₃(aq + 3CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)
Given 15g = 15g/84g/mol = 0.1786mole Sodium Bicarbonate
From equation stoichiometry 3moles NaHCO₃ is needed for each mole citric acid or, moles of citric acid needed is 1/3 of moles sodium bicarbonate used.
Therefore, for complete reaction of 0.1786 mole NaHCO₃ one would need 1/3 of 0.1786 mole citric acid or 0.0595 mole H-citrate.
The question is now what volume of 0.8M H-citrate solution would contain 0.0595mole of the H-citrate? This can be determined from the equation defining molarity. That is => Molarity = moles solute / Liters of solution
=> Volume (Liters) = moles citric acid / Molarity of citric acid solution
=> Volume needed in liters = 0.0.0595 mole/0.80M = 0.0744 Liters or 74.4 ml
Octahedral is the geometry of the complex ion which has d2sp3 hybridization.
The octahedral has eight faces hence the prefix octa. Octahedral molecular geometry describe the shape of compound with six atom or groups of atoms or ligands symmetrically arranged around a central atom.The octahedron is one of the platonic solids.
