For many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belie

f to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.
(a) What is the formula of the compound?
(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.
(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.
(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?

Answer:We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.

 mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g

 mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g

Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound. 

   moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe

  moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F

The empirical formula is therefore,

     Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)

Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.

    XeF₆

What is catalyst? Write its types.​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

A catalyst is a chemical substance that alters the rate of chemical reaction not consumed by the reaction. Hence, a catalyst can be recovered chen unchanged at the ends of chemical reaction. Catalyst can be divided into two typ the basis whether it speeds up or slowdowns the rate of chemical reaction. The positive catalyst and negative catalyst.

What is the concentration of no3- ions in a solution prepared by dissolving 15.0 g of ca(no3)2 in enough water to produce 300. m
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Ca(NO3)2 -------> Ca²⁺ +2NO3⁻

M(Ca(NO3)2)= M(Ca) + M(N) + 6M(O)= 40.0 +14.0 +6*16.0 = 150 g/mol

15.0 g Ca(NO3)2 * 1mol/150 g = 0. 100 mol Ca(NO3)2


Ca(NO3)2 -------> Ca²⁺ +2NO3⁻
1 mol                               2 mol
0.100 mol                           0.200 mol

We have 0.2 mol NO3⁻ in 300. mL=0.300 L of solution,
so
0.200 mol NO3⁻ / 0.300 L solution ≈ 0.667 mol NO3⁻ /L solution = 0.667 M

Concentration of NO3⁻ is 0.667 M.

How does the Bohr model show you an atom has become an ion?
Step2247 [10]
An early model of the atom was developed in 1913 by Danish scientist Niels Bohr (1885–1962). The Bohr model shows the atom as a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons with the electrons in circular orbitals at specific distances from the nucleus . These orbits form electron shells or energy levels, which are a way of visualizing the number of electrons in the various shells. These energy levels are designated by a number and the symbol "n." For example, 1n represents the first energy level located closest to the nucleus.
