Answer:

C. tetrahedron

Explanation:

Silicon tetrabromide (SiBr₄)

Valence electrons of silicon = 4

Valence electrons of bromine = 7

The total number of the valence electrons = 4 + 4(7) = 32

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So, the lewis structure is shown in the image below.

Around the central metal atom:-

Number of bond pairs = 4

Number of lone pairs = 0

The formula is $AB_4$ .

According to VSEPR theory, silicon tetrabromide has tetrahedron shape to minimize the repulsions.

The free energy change for the following reaction at 25 °C, when [Cr3+] = 1.32×10-3 M and [Fe3+] = 1.14 M, is 131 kJ: Cr3+(1.32×

larisa [96]

Answer:

E°cell = - 1.3575 V

This reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction

Explanation:

The given cell reaction:

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

The given Gibbs free energy: ΔG = 131 kJ = 131 × 10³ J (∵ 1 kJ = 10³ J)

As we know,

ΔG = - n F E°cell

Here, n - the number of moles of electrons transferred = 1

F - Faraday constant = 96500

E°cell - cell potential = ?

$\therefore E^{\circ }_{cell} = -\frac{\Delta G}{n \: F} = -\frac{131\times 10^{3}\, J}{1\, mol\times96500 \, C.mol^{-1}}$

$\Rightarrow E^{\circ }_{cell} = -1.3575\, V$

For a given chemical reaction if-

1. ΔG = negative and E°cell = positive

⇒ The reaction is spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.

2. ΔG = positive and E°cell = negative

⇒ The reaction is non-spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the reverse direction.

Since, for this chemical reaction: 

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

ΔG = + 131 × 10³ J ⇒ positive

and, E°cell = - 1.3575 V ⇒ negative

Therefore, this reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.

If the theoretical yield of a reaction is 0.110 g and the actual yield is 0.104 g , what is the percent yield?

Westkost [7]

Theoretical Yield is an Ideal yield with 100 % conversion of reactant to product. It is in fact a paper work.

While,

Actual Yield is the yield which is obtained experimentally. It is always less than theoretical yield because it is not possible to have 100% conversion of reactants into products. Even some amount of product is lost while handling it during the process.

Percentage Yield is Calculated as,

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

Data Given:
Actual Yield = 0.104 g

Theoretical Yield = 0.110 g

Putting Values,

%age Yield = 0.104 g / 0.110 g × 100

%age Yield = 94.54 %

If a 12-volt battery produces a current of 20 amps, what is the resistance?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

0.6 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

From Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where:

V => is the voltage

I => is the current

R => R is the resistance

With the above formula, we can obtain the resistance as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 20 × R

Divide both side by 20

R = 12 / 20

R = 0.6 Ω

Thus the resistance is 0.6 Ω
