Answer:
ΔE = 150 J
Explanation:
From first law of thermodynamics, we know that;
ΔE = q + w
Where;
ΔE is change in internal energy
q is total amount of heat energy going in or coming out
w is total amount of work expended or received
From the question, the system receives 575 J of heat. Thus, q = +575 J
Also, we are told that the system delivered 425 J of work. Thus, w = -425 J since work was expended.
Thus;
ΔE = 575 + (-425)
ΔE = 575 - 425
ΔE = 150 J
Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
