Among BF₃, NF₃, OH⁻ and ALCl₃ both NF₃ and OH⁻ acts as a lewis base.

Explaination:
According to lewis theory of acid and base, base is a specie which has either lone pair of electrons or is negatively charged. So, in the given compounds Nitrogen trifluoride contain lone pair of electron on nitrogen and Hydroxide contains a negative charge on oxygen. And botha are capable to donate these electrons to a lewis acid (electrophiles).

Discuss the shapes of s- orbitals, p-orbitals and d-orbitals.

timurjin [86]

The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

s-orbitals (for example 1s, 2s) are spherically symmetric around the nucleus of the atom.

p-orbitals are dumb-bell shaped. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.

d-orbitals are butterfly shaped.

Why is identifying unknown compounds important to chemistry?

Galina-37 [17]

Determining the identity of substances is a critical part of chemistry because once the substance's identity is known, we can predict its behavior and understand the scenarios that it is involved in better.
For example, consider an industrial pipe where fouling (scaling) is occurring. If the compounds present in the scales are identified, steps may be taken to prevent and remove the scaling. This is one of many examples where identifying chemical substances is of high importance.

2 CuCl2 + 4 KI → 2 CuI + 4 KCl + I2

Margaret [11]

Answer: 6.75 moles

Explanation:

This is a simple stoichiometry proboe. that I would set up like this:

(13.5 moles CuCI2) (1 mol I2 / 2 moles CuCi2)

That means you all you have to do for this problem is divide by 2 and cancel out the unit moles CuCI2, which leaves you with 6.75 moles I2.

Hope this helps :)

A hiker has packed a bag of chips as a snack. At the start of the hike the pressure was 1.5 atm and the temperature was 35*C. At

Mazyrski [523]

According to <span>Gay-Lussac's Law the temperature and Pressure are directly proportional to each other if the amount and volume of given gas are kept constant.
Mathematically for initial and final states it is expressed as,

P</span>₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂ ----- (1)
Data Given;
P₁ = 1.5 atm

T₁ = 35 °C + 273 = 308 K

P₂ = ?

T₂ = 0 °C + 273 = 273 K

Solving Eq. 1 for P₂,

P₂ = P₁ T₂ / T₁

Putting values,
P₂ = (1.5 atm × 273 K) ÷ 308 K

P₂ = 1.32 atm
Result:
As the temperature is decreased so the pressure also decreases from 1.5 atm to 1.32 atm. Therefore the bag will contract.
