Answer:
Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
Explanation:
The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.
The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.
VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.
We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.
The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).
Answer:
- <u>First choice: 0.042</u>
Explanation:
Given decomposition reaction:
- 1PCl₅ (g) ⇄ 1PCl₃ + 1Cl₂(g)
Equilibrium constant:
Stoichiometric coefficients and powers equal to 1 are not usually shown as they are understood, but I included them in order to shwow you how they intervene in the equilibrium expressions: each concentration is raised to a power equal to the respective stoichiometric coefficient in the equilibrium equation.
So, your calculations are:
