Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar

Explanation:

Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory

To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;

Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)

V mean valency of the central atom

N means number of monovalent bonding atoms

C means charge on cation

A means charges on anion

Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;

Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6

Number of bonding pair = 4

Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2

The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.

The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.

a gas has a volume of 350 cubic centimeters at 740 mmHg. how many cubic centimeters will the gas occupy at a pressure of 900 mmH
Harrizon [31]

Answer: 287.8 cm3

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial volume of gas V1 = 350 cm3

Initial pressure of gas P1 = 740 mmHg

New volume V2 = ?

New pressure P2 = 900 mmHg

Since, pressure and volume are involved while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

740 mmHg x 350 cm3 = 900mmHg x V2

V2 = (740 mmHg x 350 cm3) /900mmHg

V2 = 259000 mmHg cm3 / 900mmHg

V2 = 287.8 cm3

Thus, the gas will occupy 287.8 cubic centimeters at the new pressure.

A buret is filled with 0.1517 M A 25.0 mL portion of an unknown acid and two drops of indicator are added to an Erlenmeyer flask
erik [133]

Answer:

Molarity of Unknown Acid = 0.1332 M

Explanation:

Data for solving problem:

Molarity of base in buret (M₁)= 0.1517 M

volume of the acid in Erlenmeyer flask (V₂)= 25.0 mL

Volume of the base in the buret (V₁) = final volume of buret - initial volume in buret

final volume of buret = 22.5 mL

initial volume in buret = 0.55 mL

So

Volume of the base in the buret (V₁) = 22.5 mL -0.55 mL = 21.95 mL

Volume of the base in the buret (V₁)  = 21.95 mL

Molarity of Unknown acid in the Erlenmeyer flask (M₂) = To be find

Explanation:

It is acid base titration and  formula for this titration is as follows:

Molarity of base x Volume of base = Molarity of acid x volume of acid

it can be written as

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂ -------------------- equation (1)

we have to find M₂

so by rearrangment the equation (1)

M₁V₁ / V₂ = M₂ ------------------ equation (2)

put the values in equation in equation (2)

M₂ = 0.1517 M x 21.95 mL / 25.0 mL

M₂ = 3.3298 /25.0

M₂ = 0.1332 M

so the Molarity of Unknown acid is <u>0.1332 M</u>
