Answer:

(C) bent 109

(2) XY_5Z

Explanation:

The number of bond pairs = 2

Number of lone pairs = 2

The general formula is - XY_2Z_2

According to VSEPR theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability.  

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°. It original has angle of 109.5° but due to lone pair repulsion, it reduces.

Answer - (C) bent 109

Square pyramidal possibility:- (2) XY_5Z

The central atom has 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³d. The geometry is square pyramidal in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 120° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

A ringers solution for intravenous fluid replacement contains 155 mEq of Ca2+ per liter of solution. if a patient receives 1850
Nonamiya [84]
Milliequivalent is a unit that made from millimol unit multiplied by the valence of the atoms. Calcium has 2 valence electron so the mEq would be twice as much as the mol. The solution has 155meq/liter and the volume is 1850ml. Then, the amount of calcium in the solution should be:

1850ml * (155mEq/1000ml) / (2mEq/mmol)= 143.375mmol= 0.144 mol
