Answer:

C. BH_3

Explanation:

The VSEPR is known as the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. The VSEPR theory determines the total number of electron pairs (TEP) surrounding the central atom of a species. The TEP consists of the bond pairs (BP) and lone pairs (LP). In this model, all the electron pairs (like charges) will orient themselves in such a way as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them. These repulsions determine the geometry of the covalent bonds around the central atom.

In the options given, all the molecules have identical geometry except BH_3. This is as a result of the absence of a lone pair on the BH_3 compound.

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change? give examples for both​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Physical change is a temporary change. A chemical change is a permanent change.

Explanation:

A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. Chemical change both physical and chemical properties of the substance including its composition.

The gas cyclobutane, C4H8(g), can be used in welding. When cyclobutane is burned in oxygen, the reaction is: C4H8(g) + 6 O2(g)4
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

a

\Delta H^o _{rxn} = -2568.9 \  kJ

b

H  = 350 JK^{-1}

c

T_{max}  = 32.4 ^o C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The reaction of cyclobutane and oxygen is

         C_4H_8_{(g)} + 6 O_2_{(g)} \to 4 CO_2_{(g)} + 4 H_2O_{(g)}

ΔH°f (kJ mol-1) : C4H8(g) = 27.7 ; CO2(g) = -393.5 ; H2O(g) = -241.8 ΔH° = kJ

Generally ΔH° for this reaction is mathematically represented as

      \Delta H^o _{rxn} = [[4 * \Delta H^o_f (CO_2_{(g)} ) + 4 * \Delta H^o_f(H_2O_{(g)} ] -[\Delta H^o_f (C_2H_6_{(g)} + 6 * \Delta H^o_f (O_2_{(g)}) ] ]

=>  \Delta H^o _{rxn} = [[4 * (-393.5) + 4 * (-241.8) ] -[ 27.7 + 6 * 0]

=>  \Delta H^o _{rxn} = -2568.9 \  kJ

Generally the total heat capacity of 4 mol of CO2(g) and 4 mol of H2O(g), using CCO2(g) = 37.1 J K-1 mol-1 and CH2O(g) = 33.6 J K-1 mol-1. C = J K-1 is  mathematically represented as

     H  = [ 4 * C_{CO_2_{(g)}} + 6* C_{CH_2O_{(g)}}]

=>  H  = [ 4 * 37.1 + 6* 33.6 ]

=>   H  = 350 JK^{-1}

From the question the initial temperature of reactant is  T_i  =  25^oC

Generally the enthalpy change(\Delta H^o _{rxn}) of the reaction is mathematically represented as

 |\Delta H^o _{rxn} |=  H  * (T_{max} -T_i)

  2568.9 =   350  * (T_{max} -25)  

=> \frac{2568.9 }{350}  =  T_{max} - 25

=> T_{max}  = 32.4 ^o C
