The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give
see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.
Answer:
0.92moles
Explanation:
Given reaction:
2Fe + 3Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃
Mass of FeCl₃ = 100g
Unknown:
Number of moles of Cl₂ needed = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we work from the known specie to the unknown.
From the mass of the FeCl₃ given, we can solve for the number of moles of the unknown.
- Number of moles of FeCl₃;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of FeCl₃ = 56 + 3(35.5) = 162.5g/mol
Number of moles =
= 0.62mole
From the reaction expression;
2 mole of FeCl₃ is produced from 3 moles of Cl₂
0.62 mole of FeCl₃ will be produced from
= 0.92mole
The number of moles of Cl₂ = 0.92moles
A. cesium. bacause as the elements go down a group of the atoms, the sizes of the atom will increase . we know that tge tendency to lose an electron is based on the sizes of the atoms of group 1.
