Answer: D) 1 lone pair, square pyramidal

Explanation:

Formula used  : \text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  = 7

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 5

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion  = 0

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the IF_5  molecule.

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [7+5+0-0]=6

Bond pair electrons = 5

Lone pair electrons = 6-5 = 1

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be sp^3d^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral .

But as there are five atoms around the central iodine atom, the sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square pyramidal.

What amount (moles) of compound is present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 54?
Anika [276]

Answer:

1. Caffeine, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂

Amount = 1.00/194 = 0.00515 moles

2. Ethanol, C₂H₅OH

Amount = 0.0217 moles

3. Dry Ice, CO₂

amount = 0.0227 moles

<em>Note: The question is incomplete. The compound are as follows:</em>

<em> 1. Caffeine, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂;</em>

<em>2. Ethanol, C₂H₅OH;</em>

<em>3. Dry Ice, CO₂</em>

Explanation:

Amount (moles) = mass in grams /molar mass in grams per mole

1. Caffeine, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂

molar mass of caffeine = 194 g/mol

Amount = 1.00 g/194 g/mol = 0.00515 moles

2. Ethanol, C₂H₅OH

molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Amount = 1.00 g/46 g/mol = 0.0217 moles

3. Dry Ice, CO₂

molar mass of dry ice = 44 g/mol

amount = 1.00 g/44 g/mol = 0.0227 moles

How are the different colors generated by the flames? A. proton transitions B. reactions between different atoms C. electronic t
attashe74 [19]

Answer: C

Explanation:

According to Neils Bohr, atoms contain electrons which are arranged in energy levels. The energy levels proceed from the lowest to the highest. When energy is supplied to an atom,it moves from lower to higher energy levels. The higher energy level is known as the excited state. Excited states are short lived and atoms quickly return to ground state with emission of the absorbed energy in the form of visible light. This visible light must have one of the seven colours observed in the visible spectrum; Red, orange, yellow, indigo, blue, green, violet. Energy required for this excitation is supplied by heating the substance in a flame.

In an experiment, students were given an unknown mineral. The unknown mineral was placed in 150 ml of water. Once in the water,
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

<h2>15 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

But from the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 165 - 150 = 15 mL

We have

density =  \frac{225}{15}  = 15 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Need help setting the problem up
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

4.0 moles

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume (V) = 12L

Pressure = 5.6 atm

Temperature (T) = 205K

Gas constant (R) = 0.08206 atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

Using the ideal gas equation: PV = nRT, the number of mole of the gas can be obtained as follow

PV = nRT

5.6 x 12 = n x 0.08206 x 205

Divide both side by 0.08206 x 205

n = (5.6 x 12)/(0.08206 x 205)

n = 4.0 moles

Therefore, the number of mole of the gas is 4.0 moles
