Answer:

PF3 has a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

Explanation:

PF3 has four regions of electron density / electron clouds around the central P atom. The regions of electrons make a tetrahedral arrangement with a bond angle of 109.5°. Only three regions of electrons are bonding and one is non-bonding, so the overall shape is trigonal pyramidal.

Hello!

We have the following statement data:

Data:
$P_{Total} = 800 mmHg$
$P\% N_{2} = 60\%$
$P\% O_{2} = 40\%$
$P_{partial} = ? (mmHg)$

As the percentage is the mole fraction multiplied by 100:

 $P = X_{ O_{2} }*100$

The mole fraction will be the percentage divided by 100, thus:
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in this mixture?

$X_{ O_{2} } = \frac{P}{100}$
$X_{ O_{2}} = \frac{40}{100}$
$\boxed{X_{ O_{2}} = 0.4}$

To calculate the partial pressure of the oxygen gas, it is enough to use the formula that involves the pressures (total and partial) and the fraction in quantity of matter:

In relation to $O_{2}$ :

$\frac{P O_{2} }{P_{total}} = X_O_{2}$
$\frac{P O_{2} }{800} = 0.4$
$P_O_{2} = 0.4*800$
$\boxed{\boxed{P_O_{2} = 320\:mmHg}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
