I would think that the answer would be three

Because of the prefix tri- in "tigonal"

Tri- means 3, as in tricycle or triangle

So, it would make sense for the answer to be 3

Answer:

Explanation:

In a given molecule, the arrangement of atoms around a central atom in 3D space represents the shape or the geometry of the molecule. These atoms are linked together by chemical bonds formed by the participation of the valence electrons.

In general, a pair of electrons are involved in the formation of a single bond, these are known as bond pairs. In addition, electrons that are not involved in bonding are known as lone pairs. It is the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom that helps in the prediction of the shape of a molecule.

A trigonal planar molecule is such that the central atom is bonded to 3 other atoms in which the bond angles are 120°. Since each bond represents a pair of electrons there will be 3 electron domains around the central atom. For example, BF₃ has a trigonal planar structure ( 3 bond pairs + 0 lone pairs).

A sodium hydroxide solution is made by mixing 8.70 g NaOH with 100 g of water. The resulting solution has a density of 1.087 g/m
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Mass fraction = 0.08004

Mole fraction = 0.0377

Explanation:

Given, Mass of NaOH = 8.70 g

Mass of solution = 8.70 + 100 g = 108.70 g

Mass\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {8.70}{108.70} = 0.08004

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{8.70\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ NaOH= 0.2175\ mol

Given, Mass of water = 100 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{100\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ water= 5.5508\ mol

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {n_{NaOH}}{n_{NaOH}+n_{water}}

Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {0.2175}{0.2175+5.5508}=0.0377

onvert the value of Kc to a value of Kp for the following reaction: N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g) Kc = 0.50 at 400 °C.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

K_p= 0.00016

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

N_2_{(g)}+3H_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2NH_3_{(g)}

Given: Kc = 0.50

Temperature = 400^oC=[400+273]K=673K

R = 0.082057 L atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹

Δn = (2)-(3+1) = -2

Thus, Kp is:

K_p= 0.50\times (0.082057\times 673)^{-2}

K_p= 0.00016
