Answer:
bent
Explanation:
The chlorite ion has been pictured in the image attached with its two main resonance contributors.
The ion has four regions of electron density as shown. On the basis of the VSEPR theory, we expect a tetrahedral geometry.
However, the ion is bent due to the effect of the lone pairs on chlorine which is the central atom in the ion. This distorts the bond angle of the ion hence the ion has a bent molecular geometry.
Answer:
Mass % of the solution = 7.1067 %
Explanation:
Given :
Molarity of nitric acid solution = 1.85 M
Density of the solution = 1.64 g/mL
<u>Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 liter of the solution.</u>
Lets, consider the volume of the solution = 1 L
Thus,
Moles of nitric acid present in the solution:
So,
Moles of Nitric acid = 1.85 moles
Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol
The mass of Nitric acid can be find out by using mole formula as:
Thus,
<u>Mass of Nitric acid = 116.55 g</u>
Also,
Given : Density = 1.64 g/mL
Also, 1 L = 10³ mL
Volume of the solution is 1000 mL
So, mass of the solution:
<u>Mass of the solution = 1640 g</u>
Mass % is defined as the mass of solute in 100 g of the solution. The formula for the calculation of mass % is shown below:
So,
<u>Mass % = 7.1067 %</u>
