What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in NCl3

Chemistry

1 answer:

Archy [21]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

Explanation:

The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.

The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for four electron groups.

VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.

We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.

The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).

Answer:

1) Decomposition

2)Double-replacement reaction

3)synthesis

4)Double-replacement reaction

5)single-replacement reaction

6)Double-replacement reaction

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Synthesis: This is a reaction where two or more reactants will combine to form a new, single product. This is occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. This can be shown with the following equation.

A + B → C

A and B are the reactants to form a new product C

Decomposition: This is a reaction where 1 (more complex) compound will be broken down into 2 or more (more simple) products.

This can be shown by the following equation:

AB → A + B

A single replacement: This is a reaction where one element wil be replaced by another element in the same compound. This can be shown by the following equation:

A + BC → B + AC

Here is the elemnt B in the compound BC, replaced by the element A, to form a new compound AC

A double-replacement: This is a reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds will be exchanged and 2 new compounds willbe formed. This can be shown by the following equation:

AB+CD→AD+BC

A combustion reaction requires oxygen gas (O2) to produce the products CO2 and H2O

Step 2:

1) 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

⇒ Decomposition

2) KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

3) 2Na(s) + H2(g) → 2NaH(s)

⇒ synthesis

4) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2HNO2(aq) → Mg(NO2)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

5) Ca(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

⇒ Single-replacement reaction

6) Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

⇒ Double-replacement reaction

The mass of .10 moles of iron is:

Stels [109]

Answer:

so mass in gram=560grams

Explanation:

number of moles=10moles

molar mass=56grams/moles

mass in gram of Fe=?

as we know that

$number of moles=\frac{mass in gram}{molar mass}$

evaluating the formula

number of moles×molar mass=mass in gram

mass in gram=10moles×56grams/moles

mass in gram=560grams

i hope this will help you :)

Hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel because it is very light and reacts explosively and completely with oxygen. For the combustion

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

1. K<10−3

Explanation:

Equilibrium Constant is an expression which involves the concentration of the product divided by the concentration of the reactant molecules.

However the concentration of the pure liquid and pure solid is regarded as 1.

Equilibrium expression for the equation 2H2(g)+O2(g)⇌2H2O(g)

Equilibrium Constant = [H2O]^2/[H2]^2 x [O2]

Since H2O is a pure liquid, its concentration = 1

There fore;

Equilibrium Constant = 1/[H2]^2 x [O2]

This shows that the Equilibrium Constant of the equation will be less than 1 and greater than 0.
