Give an example of experimental bias

Predict the shape and hybridization of platinum tetrachloride (PfCl4)

guapka [62]

Answer:

Shape- square planar , hybridisation-sp3

Explanation:

Shape:

VSPER theorey is used to determine both electron geometry and molecular geometry of a molecule.(PtCl4)2 molecular geometry is square planar
Hybridisation:It undergoes sp3 hybridisation.since there are 2 unpaired electrons in this case, it is paramagnetic in nature

How does a concave lens differ from a convex lens? A) A convex lens is another way to describe a plane mirror; a concave lens is

elixir [45]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) A convex lens has a thick center and thin edges; a concave lens has a thin center and thicker edges.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Convex lens refers to the lens which merges the light rays at a particular point, that travels through it, while a concave lens can be identified as the lens which disperses the light rays around, that hits the lenses.
A convex lens is thicker at the center, as compared to its edges, while a concave lens is thinner at the center as compared to its edges.
A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle and spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. A convex lens on the other hand, is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center, that is they are bent towards a central point.

A reaction was performed in which 3.6 g 3.6 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 1.3 g 1.3 g of methyl ben

Anit [1.1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For benzoic acid:</u>

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

$\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108$ moles of methyl benzoate

Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g$

To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Of the following substances, ________ has the highest boiling point. Of the following substances, ________ has the highest boili

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Of the following substances, <u>PCl₃</u> has the highest boiling point

Explanation:

The given substances and their boiling point from online resources are;

Krypton, Kr, boiling point = -153.4°C

Chlorine gas, Cl₂, boiling point = -34.6°C

Borane, BH₃, (transient compound), boiling point of the dimer it forms B₂H₆ = -164.85°C

Methane, CH₄, boiling point = -161.6°C

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃, boiling point = 76.1°C

Therefore, given that PCl₃ is a volatile liquid at room temperature, while the other substances are gases and that PCl₃ has the highest boiling point of all the substances of 76.1°C, the substance with the highest boiling point is PCl₃.
