Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be $sp^2$ .

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be $sp^3$ .

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d$ .

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ .

What is the difference in mass between 3.01×10^24 atoms of gold and a gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm

Zanzabum

Answer:

The difference in mass between 3.01×10^24 atoms of gold and a gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm is :

Difference in mass = 985.32 - 984.5 = 0.82 g

Explanation:

Part I :

$n =\frac{3.01\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

n = 4.9983

n = 4.99 moles

(Note : You can also take n = 5 mole )

Molar mass of gold = 196.96 g/mole

This means, 1 mole of gold(Au) contain = 196.96 grams

So, 4.99 moles of gold contain = $5\times 196.96$ g

4.99 moles of gold contain = 984.8 g

Mass of ${3.01\times 10^{24}}$ atoms of gold = 984.5 g

Part II :

Density of Gold = $19.32 g/cm^{3}$

Volume of the cuboid = $length\times breadth\times height$

Volume of the gold bar = $6.00\times 4.25\times 2.00$

Volume of the gold bar = 51 $cm^{3}$

Using formula,

$Density = \frac{mass}{Volume}$

$Mass = Density\times Volume$

$Mass = 19.32 \times 51$

Mass = 985.32 g

So, A gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm has mass of 985.32 g

Difference in mass = 985.32 - 984.5 = 0.82 g

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

suter [353]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2KCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbCl₂ + 2KNO₃.

According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of balanced chemical reaction.

KCl is potassium chloride.

Pb(NO₃)₂ is lead(II) nitrate.

KNO₃ is potassium nitrate.

PbCl₂ is lead(II) chloride.
