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.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

23.8 L

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>Calculate the volume in liters of a 0.0380M potassium iodide solution that contains 150 g of potassium iodide. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

<em />

The molar mass of potassium iodide is 166.00 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 150 grams are:

150 g × (1 mol/166.00 g) = 0.904 mol

0.904 moles of potassium iodide are contained in an unknown volume of a 0.0380 mol/L potassium iodide solution. The volume is:

0.904 mol × (1 L/0.0380 mol) = 23.8 L

The weight of 100g H2 and 100 g He is same yet the number of elements is not same.​
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The mole and atonmicity of both the gases are different, the number of atoms is not same.

Explanation:

The number of atoms in a molecule (compound) depends on mole number and atomicity.

↬ Mole of 100 g H₂ = 100g ÷ 2u = 50 mole

∴Number of atoms in 100 g H₂

= 2 x 50 x 6.022 × 10²³

= 6.022 x 10²⁴ atoms

↬ Mole of 100 g He = 100g ÷ 4u = 25 mole

∴ Number of atoms in 100 g He

= 1 × 25 × 6.022 × 10²³

= 150.55 × 10²³

= 1.5055 x 10²⁵ atoms

Thus, The mole and atonmicity of both the gases are different, the number of atoms is not same.

If a 40 g sample of NaCl is composed of 39.34% Sodium, how many grams of<br> that sample are Sodium?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

15.7g

Explanation:

mass percent=mass of element/mass of compound *100

39.34=unknown(x)/40g×100

39.34=5x/2

multiplying both sides by 2,we get

5x=78.68

devide by 5 on both sides

x=15.74g Na

For the reaction at 298 K, 2NO2(g) N2O4(g) the values of ΔH° and ΔS° are -58.03 kJ and -176.6 J/K, respectively. Calculate the v
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ

The temperature for \Delta G^o=0[/tex is [tex]T=328.6 K

Explanation:

The three thermodinamic properties (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs's energy) are linked in the following formula:

\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o + T*\Delta S^o

Where:

\Delta G^o is Gibbs's energy in kJ

\Delta H^o is the enthalpy in kJ

\Delta S^o is the entropy in kJ/K

T is the temperature in K

Solving:

\Delta G^o=-58.03 kJ - 298K*-0.1766 kJ/K

\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ

For \Delta G^o=0:

0=\Delta H^o - T*\Delta S^o

\Delta H^o= T*\Delta S^o

T=\frac{\Delta H^o}{\Delta S^o}

T=\frac{-58.03 kJ}{-0.1766 kJ/K}

T=328.6 K

Find the number of moles in:<br> 12.044 x 10^24 atoms
Citrus2011 [14]

Explanation:

number of moles = number of particle/ 6.02X10^23

= 12.044 X 10^24/6.02×10^23

=20.0066 moles so round it up to 3 S.F

So

=20.0moles
