Nataliya [291]

Answer:

   Br

    |

Br-P-Br

    |

   Br

Explanation:

To calculate the valance electrons, look at the periodic table to find the valance electrons for each atom and add them together. P is in column 5A, so it has 5, Br is in column 7A, so it has 7 (multiply by 4 since there are 4 Br atoms to give 28) and there is a 1- charge, so add one more electron. 5+28+1=34, so there are 34 electrons to place. P would be the central atom, so place it in the middle. Place each Br around the P (as shown above) with a a single line connecting it. Each line represents 2 electrons, so 8 total have been place, leaving 26 remaining. Place 6 electrons around each Br (2 on each of the unbonded sides), which leaves 2 electrons remaining. The remaining pair of unbound electrons will be attached to the P between any two Br atoms. Phosphorus doesn't have to follow the octet rule, so it actually ends up with 10 valance electrons.

If you have 2.1 liters of hydrogen gas (at STP), what mass of hydrogen gas would you have?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.19 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure (STP): 2.1 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.1 L of hydrogen  at STP

At STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), 1 mole of hydrogen has a volume of 22.4 L if we treat it as an ideal gas.

2.1 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.094 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.094 moles of hydrogen

The molar mass of hydrogen is 2.02 g/mol.

0.094 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 0.19 g
