Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

Suppose the flask is already at equilibrium but then the volume of the reaction flask is then reduced what will happen
sveta [45]

1) Answer is: c) The reaction will proceed right.

Balanced chemical reaction: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇄ 2NH₃(g) ΔH = +92 kJ.

Reducing the volume of the system increase the partial pressures of the products and reactants.

With a pressure increase due to a decrease in volume, the side of the equilibrium with fewer moles is more favorable, there are 4 moles at the left side (three moles of hydrogen and one mole of nitrogen) and 2 moles (ammonia) at the right side of the reaction.

2) Answer is: d) The partial pressure of ammonia will increase.

This reaction is endothermic (enthalpy is higher than zero), which means that heat is added.

According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is endothermic heat is included as a reactant and when the temperature increased, the heat of the system increase, so the system consume some of that heat by shifting the equilibrium to the right,  producing more ammonia.

How many grams of P4O10 would be produced when 0.700 mole of phosphorus is burned?
AysviL [449]
We can solve the equation and show the solution below:

Oxygen atomic number is 16.
Phosphorus atomic number is 32.

We have the molecular weight:
Molecular weight = (31*4) + (16*10)
Molecular weight = 284 grams/mol

Solving for the grams:

0.4 mole (for P4) * (1 mol P4O10/1 mol P4) * (284 grams P4O10/1 mole P4O10)
Total grams = 113.6

The answer is 113.6 grams.
