Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane

1 answer:

6 0

The bond angle in the Water Molecule is approx. 104.5 degrees. The methane molecule is approx. 109.5 degrees. The differences, is due to the force from the surrounding molecules and atoms. For example the Lone pairs of electrons.

Reaction of hypochlorous acid and ammonia is product-favored system at equilibrium. Answer A: Reaction of hypochlorous acid and

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

A. True

B. False

Explanation:

Reaction between hypochlorous acid and ammonia does not yields a Ph value of 7.00 , this value is defined to water and no other reaction can yield exactly this Ph value. The acid reaction will give a Ph value below 7 while a base reaction will give Ph value of above 7.

Using the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following reaction

Luden [163]

Answer:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept, when an acid (HA) and a base (B) undergoes a chemical reaction, the acid (HA) loses a proton and forms its conjugate base (A⁻), whereas the base gains (B) the proton to form its conjugate acid (HB⁺).

The chemical equation for this reaction is:

HA + B ⇌ A⁻ + HB⁺

Given reactions:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

Reason: In this reaction, the acid H₂O loses a proton and forms its conjugate base, OH⁻. Whereas, the base HSO³⁻ gains a proton to form its conjugate acid, H₂SO₃.

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Reason: In this reaction, there is no exchange of proton between the acid and the base.
