Answer:

Electron pair geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- Trigonal Pyramidal

Explanation:

PCl3 has four electron domains on the outermost shell of the central atom in the molecule. This implies that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory.

These four electron pairs are composed of three bond pairs and one lone pair. The presence of a lone pair of electrons leads to a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry due to electron pair repulsions.

1. How much energy (in KJ) is required to convert 50.0g of ice at – 30 ˚C to<br> steam at130˚C.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

How much heat energy required to convert following?

How much heat energy, in kilojoules, is required to convert 47.0 g of ice at -18.0 C to water at 25.0 C ?

Specific Heat of Ice - 2.09 j/g * c

This is how I did it and the answer is wrong...Please check and correct me

Q = m * Cice * Change in Temp

Q = (47.0 g)(2.09 J/g*c)(43) = 4222.6 J * 0.001 kj / j = 4.22 kj

To what volume in millimeters must 50.0 mL of 18.0 M H2SO4 be diluted to obtain 4.35 M H2SO4?
poizon [28]
We know that to relate solutions of with the factors of molarity and volume, we can use the equation: M_{1}  V_{1} = M_{2}  V_{2}

**NOTE: The volume as indicated in this question is defined in L, not mL, so that conversion must be made. However it is 1000 mL = 1 L.

So now we can assign values to these variables. Let us say that the 18 M H_{2}  SO_{4} is the left side of the equation. Then we have:

(18 M)(0.050 L)=(4.35M) V_{2}

We can then solve for V_{2}:

V_{2}= \frac{(18M)(0.05L)}{4.35M} and V_{2} =0.21 L or 210 mL

We now know that the total amount of volume of the 4.35 M solution will be 210 mL. This is assuming that the entirety of the 50 mL of 18 M is used and the rest (160 mL) of water is then added.

How many electrons would a neutral atom of nitrogen need to gain in order to have a full valence electrons shell
Alexeev081 [22]
Nitrogen atom has a valence electrons of 5 electrons. A full octet or full valence electrons shell is composed of 8 electrons. Hence, an additional of 4 electrons are needed for it to become full. this is achieved by covalent bonding where electrons are shared or ionic bonding where electrons are transferred.
