To find AH°rxn, we use the following equation:
What we're going to do is to sum the enthalpy of the products and then substract with the enthalpy of the reactives:
As you can see, we need to multiply by the coefficients of the reaction.
Now, just replace the values of the table:
So the answer is -822.2kJ/mol.
For b:
Now, just replace the values of the table:
The answer for b is -1036kJ/mol.
Answer : The structure of will be square-planar.
Explanation :
In the given molecule , 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.
The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons
The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons
There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.
The structure of is shown below.
