Q1)
first lets draw the lewis structure for CO₂
C is the central atom with O atom on either side of C
O - C - O
the number of valence electrons around each atom 
C- 4
O - 6
O - 6
total number of valence electrons - 16
number of electron pairs - 16/2 = 8
1 pair is shared between 1 O atom and C and another electron pair is shared between C and other O atom 
that leaves us with 8 -2 = 6 pairs 
add 3 pairs each for O atoms as lone pairs and octets for both O atoms are completed. But in C the octet is not complete yet. So we convert the 2 single bonds between C and O to 2 double bonds on either side. then octet of C is complete. number of lone pairs around O is reduced to 2 lone pairs.
the structure is as follows
  ..            . .
: O = C = O :
to determine the geometry lets use VSEPR
number of valence electrons around C - 4
number of bonds around C (2 O with 2 electrons contributed - 4
total number of electrons - 8
number of electron pairs - 4
VSEPR geometry for 4 pairs with no lone pairs is linear geometry

1. The lewis structure for CO₂ has a central carbon atom attached to oxygen atoms through two double bonds.

2. Carbon dioxide has a linear electron geometry

3. Carbon atom is sp hybridized.

4. Carbon dioxide has two <span>C(p)-O(p)</span> π bonds and two O(sp²)-C(sp) sigma bonds.
the geometry of CO₂ linear means its sp hybridised where each orbital has 50% s and 50% p character. One s orbital and one p orbital have mixed and form 2 sp orbitals. the remaining p orbitals take part in π bonds and sp orbitals take part in sigma bonding. So between C and O there's one sigma bond and one pi bond. Altogether 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds.
O has 3 sp² orbitals with 2 of them being lone pair orbitals. One sp² orbital bonds with sp orbital of C forming a sigma bond. the other p orbital of O bonds with p orbital of C forming a pi bond.

What happens to temperature and kinetic energy of particles during a change of state
Wittaler [7]
When a substance is changing state, its temperature remains constant. This is because energy is used to increase/decrease kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance, increasing/decreasing the inter-molecular distance and overcoming the energy bonds present between the molecules. Therefore, no energy is used to raise the temperature of the substance and therefore it remains constant

for the reaction 2Fe + O2 = 2FeO, how many grams of iron oxide are produced from 8.00 mol of iron? when o2 is an excess
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

2Fe + O₂ -------------------> 2FeO

8 mol Fe produce

8 mol Fe * 2 mol FeO / 2 mol Fe = 8 mol FeO

Mass of FeO = 8 mol FeO * 71.85 g/mol = 574.8 grams FeO

Explanation:

Having 8 mol of Iron means 8 moles of iron oxide can be produced. Each mole of iron oxide has a molecular weight of 71.85 grams. Therefore, 8 moles of iron oxide should weight 574.8 grams.

Consider this equilibrium: COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g) Keq = 8.1 x 10-4. What is true for this system?
fiasKO [112]
Answer is: [COCl₂] > [CO][Cl₂]
Chemical reaction: COCl₂(g) ⇄ CO(g) + Cl₂(g); Keq = 8.1 x 10⁻⁴.
Keq = [CO] · [Cl₂] / [COCl₂]; equilibrrium constant of chemical reaction.
[CO] · [Cl₂] / [COCl₂] = 0,00081.
Equilibrium product concentration is much more less than equilibrium concentration of reactant.
