Answer:- There are 32 valence electrons and it's tetrahedral in shape.

Explanations:- Atomic number of carbon is 6 and it's electron configuration is 1s^22s^22p^2 . It has 4 electrons in the outer most shell means it has 4 valence electrons.

Atomic number of Br is 35 and it's electron configuration is 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^1^04p^5 . It has 7 electrons in the outer most shell(2 in 4s and 5 in 4p) .

There is one C and four Br in the given compound. So, total number of valence electrons = 4+4(7) = 4+28 = 32

Four Br atoms are bonded to the central carbon atom and also there isn't any lone pair present on carbon. It makes it tetrahedral.

The isomerization of methylisonitrile to acetonitrileCH3NC(g)→CH3CN(g)is first order in CH3NC . The rate constant for the reacti
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option E, Half life = 2.96\times 10^3\ s

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

            t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

Where,

t_{1/2} = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = 2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s

So, the correct option is option E.

Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an important intermediate used in the production of fluorine-containing compounds. For instance, it
lions [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of COF_2 is 0.332 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial concentration of COF_2 = 2.00 M

The given chemical equation follows:

                2COF_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+CF_4(g)

<u>Initial:</u>          2.00

<u>At eqllm:</u>     2.00-2x          x      x

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[CO_2][CF_4]}{[COF_2]^2}

We are given:

K_c=6.30

Putting values in above expression, we get:

6.30=\frac{x\times x}{(2.00-2x)^2}\\\\x=0.834,1.25

Neglecting the value of x = 1.25 because equilibrium concentration of the reactant will becomes negative, which is not possible

So, equilibrium concentration of COF_2=(2.00-2x)=[2.00-(2\times 0.834)]=0.332M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of COF_2 is 0.332 M

If 335 g water at 35.5C loses 5750 J of heat, what is the final temperature of the water?
White raven [17]

Answer:

The final temperature is  39.58 degree Celsius

Explanation:

As we know

Q = m * c * change in temperature

Specific heat of water (c) = 4.2 joules per gram per Celsius degree

Substituting the given values we get  -

5750 = 335 * 4.2 * (X - 35.5)

X = 39.58 degree Celsius

Identify the group of elements that corresponds to each of the following generalized electron configurations and indicate the nu
Alja [10]

Answer:

(a) [Noble gas] ns² np⁵: Number of unpaired electron is 1 and belongs to group 17 i.e. halogen group of the periodic table.

(b) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d²: Number of unpaired electron is 2 and belongs to group 4 of the periodic table.

(c) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d¹⁰ np¹: Number of unpaired electron is 1 and belongs to group 13 of the periodic table.

(d)[noble gas] ns² (n-2)f⁶ : Number of unpaired electron is 6 and belongs to group 8 of the periodic table.

Explanation:

In the Periodic table, the chemical elements are arranged in 7 rows, called periods and 18 columns, called groups. They are organized in increasing order of atomic numbers.

(a) [Noble gas] ns² np⁵

As the total number of electrons in the p-orbital is 5. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 1.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 5 electrons in np orbital. <u>So there are 7 valence electrons.</u>

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 17 i.e. halogen group of the periodic table.

(b) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d²

As the total number of electrons in the d-orbital is 2. Therefore, the number of unpaired electrons is 2.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 2 electrons in (n-1)d orbital. So there are <u>4 valence electrons.</u>

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 4 of the periodic table.

(c) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d¹⁰ np¹

As the total number of electrons in the p-orbital is 1. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 1.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 1 electron in np orbital. So there are <u>3 valence electrons</u>.

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 13 of the periodic table.

(d)[noble gas] ns² (n-2)f⁶

As the total number of electrons in the f-orbital is 6. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 6.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 6 electrons in (n-2)f orbital. So there are <u>8 valence electrons.</u>

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 8 of the periodic table.
