What is the total number of valence electrons in the dot structure of CBr4? Explain how you determined this answer. What is the
1 answer:
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 . 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 . 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.

Answer: The partial pressure of is 1.86 atm
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,
Pressure at eqm. 0.973 atm 0.548atm x atm
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :
By solving the term 'x', we get :
x = 1.86 atm
Thus, the partial pressure of is 1.86 atm
