Why does alcl3 form a dimer in vapour state ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
dlinn [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

AlCl₃ forms a dimer in vapor state in order to compensate for the insufficient number of electrons that will make it attain stability in its structure.

Dimerization is a situation in which a molecule of a compound is derived from two identical monomers.

  • Dimerization yields very weak/strong intermolecular interaction producing some chemical bonds.  
  • In the monomeric state, AlCl₃ does not have a complete octet.
  • When in the vapor state, they attach to one another to compensate for this deficiency to attain stability.

Describe what occurs at mid-ocean ridges?
Tanya [424]
<span>A mid-ocean ridge is a mountain rage under the water. It is formed due to plate tectonics. The shifting of the plates lifts up the floor of the ocean. When convection currents happen they raise the mantle that is located beneath the oceans crust and it creates magma where the two tectonic plates meet.</span>

At a high temperature, equal concentrations of 0.160 mol/L of H2(g) and I2(g) are initially present in a flask. The H2 and I2 re
Nikitich [7]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

                                H_{2} + I_{2} \rightarrow 2HI

Initial :                  0.160    0.160          0  

Change :                  -x           -x              2x

Equilibrium:        0.160 - x    0.160 - x       x

It is given that [H_{2}] = [0.160 - x] = 0.036 M

and,                [I_{2}] = [0.160 - x] = 0.036 M      

so,                             x = (0.160 - 0.036) M

                                    = 0.124 M

As, [HI] = 2x.

So,           [HI] = 2 \times 0.124

                       = 0.248 M

As it is known that expression for equilibrium constant is as follows.

               K_{eq} = \frac{[HI]^{2}}{[H_{2}][I_{2}]}

                                  = \frac{(0.248)^{2}}{(0.036)(0.036)}

                                  = 47.46

Thus, we can conclude that the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the given reaction is 47.46.

I’m struggling with dimensional analysis in chemistry! Will someone please help me with .74 Kcal/min to cal/sec ? Explain and gi
denis23 [38]

Answer:

            12.33 cal/sec

Explanation:

As we know,

                          1 Kcal  =  1000 cal

So,

                     0.74 Kcal  =  X cal

Solving for X,

                      X  =  (0.74 Kcal × 1000 cal) ÷ 1 Kcal

                      X  =  740 cal

Also we know that,

                      1 Minute  =  60 Seconds

Therefore, in order to derive cal/sec unit replace 0.74 Kcal by 740 cal and 1 min by 60 sec in given unit as,

                                       = 740 cal / 60 sec

                                       = 12.33 cal/sec
