Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas.Express your a

ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

From the statement of the problem,

B₂S₃ $_{s}$ + H₂O $_{l}$ → H₃BO₃ $_{aq}$ + H₂S $_{g}$

B₂S₃ + H₂O → H₃BO₃ + H₂S

We that the above expression does not conform with the law of conservation of mass:

To obey the law, we need to derive a balanced reaction equation:

Let us use the mathematical method to obtain a balanced equation.

let the balanced equation be:

aB₂S₃ + bH₂O → cH₃BO₃ + dH₂S

where a, b, c and d will make the equation balanced.

Conservating B: 2a = c

S: 3a = d

H: 2b = 3c + 2d

O: b = 3c

if a = 1,

c = 2,

b = 6,

2d = 2(6) - 3(2) = 6, d = 3

Now we can input this into our equation:

B₂S₃ + 6H₂O → 2H₃BO₃ + 3H₂S

B₂S₃ $_{s}$ + 6H₂O $_{l}$ → 2H₃BO₃ $_{aq}$ + 3H₂S $_{g}$

Iodine-131 is used to

Yakvenalex [24]

Iodine 131 is a radioisotope with a very short half-life of 8.02 days, making it highly radioactive. Frequently used in small doses in thyroid cancers therapies, it is also one of the most feared fission products when accidentally released into the environment. Radiotoxicity of iodine 131.
