Answer:

The central atom has 3 electron domains.

Explanation:

According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.

The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.

Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.

5) Solid silver chloride, AgCl, precipitates when solution of silver nitrate, AgNO3, and iron (111) chloride,
DanielleElmas [232]

The chemical reaction between the reactants:

3 AgNO₃ (aq) + FeCl₃ (aq) → 3 AgCl (s) +  Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

3 AgNO₃ (aq) + FeCl₃ (aq) → 3 AgCl (s) +  Fe(NO₃)₃ (aq)

Complete ionic equation:

3 Ag⁺ (aq) + 3 NO₃⁻ (aq) + Fe³⁺ (aq) + 3 Cl⁻ (aq) → 3 AgCl (s) +   Fe³⁺ (aq) + 3 NO₃⁻  (aq)

We remove the spectator ions and we get the net ionic equation:

Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) → AgCl (s)

where:

(aq) - aqueous

(s) - solid

Element X had a mass of 300g and a 1/2 life of 10 years. how many grams will remain after 40 years?
kiruha [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

18.75 grams

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
  • In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
  • To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;

Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives

Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life

                                 = 40 years ÷ 10 years

                                  = 4

Therefore;

Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴

                            = 300 g × 1/16

                             = 18.75 g

Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.

Liquid does not act that a solid. how is it different from a solid and gas?
Wittaler [7]
Unlike solid matter, where particles are tightly packed and slightly vibrating, or gas, where particles go around everywhere and are extremely loose, a liquid has particles that are loosely packed but are still in slight contact with each other. Hope that's good enough
