Determine the molecular geometry based on the description of bonding and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom. Three

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Three double bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- trigonal planar

Two single bonds and two lone pairs of electrons-bent

Five single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- trigonal bipyramidal

Three single bonds and one lone pair of electrons- trigonal pyramidal

Two double bonds and no lone pairs of electrons - linear

Four single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- tetrahedral

Six single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- octahedral

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory gives a description of the shape of a molecule based on the number of regions of electron density present on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule.

The molecules are distorted away from the shape predicted on the basis of the VSEPR by the presence of lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. In the absence of lone pairs, the shape of a molecule is exactly the shape predicted on the basis of the VSEPR theory.

Answer:

1-1) NaHCO3 + CH3COOH --> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

1-2) 0.5 mole of CO2

2-1) 2C4H10 + 13O2 --> 8CO2 + 10H2O

2-2) 4 mol CO2

Explanation:

Question 1

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH --> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

To balance the equation, count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation

(1 Na, 1+3+1H, 1+1+1C, 3+2Oxygen) --> (1 Na, 1+1+1C, 3+2H, 2+1+2Oxygen)

Combining the pluses will give you the following

(1 Na, 5H, 3C, 5Oxygen) --> (1 Na, 3C, 5H, 5Oxygen)

Both sides are the same, therefore the chemical equation is balanced (originally).

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of NaHCO3 produces 1 mole of CO2.

So that means 0.5 mole of NaHCO3 would produce 0.5 mole of CO2.

Question 2

C4H10 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

Again, count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation

(4C, 10H, 2O) --> (1C, 2H, 3O) This time left does not equal right side

You now need to find factors that can make both sides equal.

C4H10 + O2 --> 4CO2 + H2O Now the C is balanced, let's recount 

(4C, 10H, 2Oxygen) --> (4C, 8+1Oxygen, 2H) H&O is still not balanced

C4H10 + O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O Now the H is balanced, let's recount

(4C, 10H, 2Oxygen) --> (4C, 8+5Oxygen, 10H) O is still not balanced

C4H10 + (13/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O Now the O is balanced

(4C, 10H, 13Oxygen) --> (4C, 13Oxygen, 10H)

But because 13/2 is a fraction, we want to eliminate that by multiplying every reactant and product by 2 (the denominator).

2C4H10 + 13O2 --> 8CO2 + 10H2O Now it's completely balanced!

(8C, 20H, 28Oxygen) --> (8C, 28Oxygen, 20H) Yayy! It's balanced.

Now, 2 mol C4H10 produces 8 mol CO2.

So 1 mol C4H10 produces 4 mol CO2.

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?

myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.
