Rama09 [41]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Standard molar entropy determines the randomness of a mole of substance. Thus, the larger and complex a molecule is, the larger will be its molar entropy.

The molar entropy of gases is higher than liquids which is turn is higher than solid.

Here , NO2 is a gas with higher complex structure (trigonal planar) than N2 (linerar), N2O (linear) and N2O2 (linear)

Hence, NO2(g) will have greatest standard molar entropy

Option A is correct

when 10.00 g of phosphorus reacts with oxygen, it produces 17.77 g of a phosphorus oxide. This phosphorus oxide was found to hav

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Molecular formula = P₄O₆

Explanation:

P(s) + O₂(g)------------------------------------⇒ PₓOₙ (g)

10g (17.77-10)g 17.77g

10g 7.77g 17.77g (gramme ratio)

The molecular mass of Phosphorus (P) = 31g/mole

The molecular mass of Oxygen atom (O) = 16g/mole

Mole ratio is given by:

P : O

10/31 7.77/16

0.3226 : 0.4856 Mole ratio---------------------------- (1)

Divide (1) through by 0.3226

1 : 1.5-------------------------------------------- (2)

From (2), the empirical formula for Phosphorus oxide :

Empirical formula = P₁O₁.₅

= PO₁.₅

The molecular formula can be calculated from below:

Since the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula we have

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)ₙ----------------------------------- (3)

Since we are given the molecular mass of the oxide formed, we have:

(PO₁.₅)ₙ = 220-----------------------------(4)

[31 + (16 x 1.5)] x n = 220

[31 + 24]n = 220

55n =220

n = 4

Substituting into (3), we have :

Molecular formula = (PO₁.₅)₄

= P₄O₆

Answer:

The options are

A. a hypothesis

B. a theory

C. a research question

D. a scientific explanation

The answer is A. a hypothesis

Explanation:

A hypothesis is referred to as a brief explanation on the occurrence of an event.

In the example above using of warm water on plants was inferred to make it grow faster as hot water increases the metabolism.

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]$

= 2

Hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is sp. Therefore, $BeCl_{2}$ is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is calculated as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]$

= 5

Therefore, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is $sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2}$ is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $XeF_{2}$ is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
