What is vsepr theory, and how can it be used to predict molecular shapes?

Chemistry
1 answer:
raketka [301]3 years ago
7 0

VSEPR theory (known as Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion ) endeavors to explain/predict the shape and geometry of molecules. The theory postulates that atoms in a molecule take a position in space (within the molecule) that reduces the repulsion of the individual atom’s electron clouds so the molecule can achieve the most stable state.

How many grams of CO are produced when 41.0 g of C reacts?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

95.7 g CO to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

2C + O2 ---> 2CO

Using relative atomic masses:

24 g C produces  2*12 + 2*16 g CO.

So 41 g produces  ( (2*12 + 2*16) * 41  ) / 24

= 95.7 g CO,

Please help!
Arada [10]

Answer:

The answer is NO

Explanation:

In every compound, the sum of oxidation number between the elements is 0.

  • In NO, nitrogen acts with +2 and oxygen as usual acts with -2
  • In N₂O₃, nitrogen acts with +3 and oxygen, -2
  • In NO₂, nitrogen acts with +4, and oxygen -2
  • In N₂O, nitrogen acts with +1, and oxygen -2

The hydroxide ion concentration of a saturated solution of ca(oh)2 is m. what is the solubility product constant for ca(oh)2
dalvyx [7]
Solubility product constants are values to describe the saturation of ionic compounds with low solubility. A saturated solution is when there is a dynamic equilibrium between the solute dissolved, the dissociated ions, the undissolved and the compound. It is calculated from the product of the ion concentration in the solution. For the base, Ca(OH)2, the dissociation would  be as follows:<span>

Ca(OH)2 = Ca2+ + 2OH-

So, the expression for the solubility product constant would be as follows:

Ksp = [Ca2+] [OH-]^2

let x be the concentration of the Ca2+. So,

</span>
Ksp = [x] [2x]^2
<span>Ksp = 4x^3

You have to substitute the value of the concentration of the calcium hydroxide in the final expression which is not given in the problem statement in order to evaluate Ksp.
