1. For each of the molecules below, determine the electron geometry, molecule geometry, and bond

Chemistry

Answer:

CCl4- tetrahedral bond angle 109°

PF3 - trigonal pyramidal bond angles less than 109°

OF2- Bent with bond angle much less than 109°

I3 - linear with bond angles = 180°

A molecule with two double bonds and no lone pairs - linear molecule with bond angle =180°

Explanation:

Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) helps us to predict the molecular shape, including bond angles around a central atom, of a molecule by examination of the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure. The VSEPR model assumes that electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement which tends to minimize repulsions between these electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The electrons in the valence shell of a central atom are either bonding pairs of electrons, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs. The electrostatic repulsion of these electrons is reduced when the various regions of high electron density assume positions as far apart from each other as possible.

Lone pairs and multiple bonds are known to cause more repulsion than single bonds and bond pairs. Hence the presence of lone pairs or multiple bonds tend to distort the molecular geometry geometry away from that predicted on the basis of VSEPR theory. For instance CCl4 is tetrahedral with no lone pair and four regions of electron density around the central atom. This is the expected geometry. However OF2 also has four regions of electron density but has a bent structure. The molecule has four regions of electron density but two of them are lone pairs causing more repulsion. Hence the observed bond angle is less than 109°.

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ?H during the following reaction: Fe (s) + 2HCl (g) ? FeCl2 (s) + H2 (g) =?H?157.kJ Use t
erik [133]

Correct Question:

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol

Answer:

-314 kJ

+628 kJ

+157 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.

If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.

1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)

This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so

ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ

2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)

This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so

ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ

3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl

This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so

ΔH = +157 kJ
