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.

(a) How much negative charge is on each oxygen of the carbonate ion?
Eva8 [605]
The chemical formula of a carbonate ion is CO3^2-. It is an AX3 system which means it take the trigonal planar shape. There would be two single bonds of C-O and one double bond C-O in order for C to agree with the octet rule. Two minus charges are equally distributed to the three oxygen atoms so that each oxygen of the carbonate ion would have a charge of negative 2/3.

Where were atoms formed ?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

They were formed right after the "Big Bang" when our known universe originated from pure energy some billions of years ago. The energy was converted to the elementary particles (quarks, gluons, leptons etc...) from which protons and neutrons were formed. From these, atoms of different elements were produced

A student wants to reclaim the iron from an 18.0-gram sample of iron(III) oxide, which
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

m_{Fe}=12.6gFe

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since we have grams of iron (III) oxide whose molar mass is 159.69 g/mol are able to compute the produced grams of iron by using its atomic mass that is 55.845 g/mol and their 2:4 molar ratio in the chemical reaction:

m_{Fe}=18.0gFe_2O_3*\frac{1molFe_2O_3}{159.69gFe_2O_3}*\frac{4molFe_2O_3}{2molFe_2O_3} *\frac{55.845gFe}{1molFe_2O_3} \\\\m_{Fe}=12.6gFe

Best regards.

Given the unbalanced equation:
maw [93]

Answer:

Option (2) 2

Explanation:

NO3- + 4H+ + Pb → Pb2+ + NO2 + 2H2O

The equation above can be balance as follow:

There are 3 atoms of the left side and a total of 4 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front NO3- and 2 in front of NO2 as shown below:

2NO3- + 4H+ + Pb → Pb2+ + 2NO2 + 2H2O

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficient of NO2 is 2

what is the  concentration of a NaCl solution, in Molarity, if you add 59.76 g of NaCl into 270 mL of H2O
enot [183]

Hey there!

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles

n =  mass of solute / molar mass

n = 59.76 / 58.44

n = 1.0225 moles of NaCl

Volume in liters:

270 mL / 1000 => 0.27 L

Therefore:

M = number of moles / volume ( L )

M = 1.0225 / 0.27

= 3.78 M

Hope that helps!
