Using VSEPR model, how is the molecular arrangement about the central atom (molecular geometry) for XeF4?
1 answer:
Answer:
Square planar.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, it can be demonstrated that the central atom Xenon in XeF₄ has a sp³d² hybridization which means that its geometry is likely to be octahedral. Nevertheless Applying by applying the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model to in order to minimize the repulsion among lone pairs, bond pairs and lone pair-bond pairs, we we realize repulsion is actually minimized when lone pairs are anti to one another and the fluorine atoms are in equatorial position, for that reason, the corrected and properly exhibited geometry or molecular arrangement of the compound turns out square planar. You can verify it on the attached picture.

Answer:
The molarity of urea in this solution is 6.39 M.
Explanation:
Molarity (M) is <em>the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution</em>; that is
To calculate the molality, we need to know the number of moles of urea and the volume of solution in liters. We assume 100 grams of solution.
Our first step is to calculate the moles of urea in 100 grams of the solution,
using the molar mass a conversion factor. The total moles of 100g of a 37.2 percent by mass solution is
60.06 g/mol ÷ 37.2 g = 0.619 mol
Now we need to calculate the volume of 100 grams of solution, and we use density as a conversion factor.
1.032 g/mL ÷ 100 g = 96.9 mL
This solution contains 0.619 moles of urea in 96.9 mL of solution. To express it in molarity, we need to calculate the moles present in 1000 mL (1 L) of the solution.
0.619 mol/96.9 mL × 1000 mL= 6.39 M
Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 6.39 M.
