Answer:

Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.

Explanation:

The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.

In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.

In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.

In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.

In the following reaction, how many grams of NaBr will react with 311 grams of Pb(NO3)2?
Mashutka [201]
Molar mass :

NaBr = 103 g/mol

Pb(NO3)2 = 331.20 g/mol

<span><span /><span>Balanced chemical equation :

</span></span>2 NaBr + 1 Pb(NO3)2 = 2 NaNO3 + 1 PbBr<span>2
</span><span>
2*103 g NaBr ------------> 1 * 331.20 g Pb(NO3)2
      g NaBr  -------------------> 311 g Pb(NO3)2

331.20  g  =   2*103*311

331.20 g = 64066

mass ( NaBr ) =  64066 / 331.20

mass ( naBr)  = 193,43 g of NaBr

hope this helps!.

Is each of these statements true? If not, explain why.(m) For most reactions, ΔH°rnx is lowered by a catalyst.
barxatty [35]

A  catalyst reduces H°rnx in most reactions. The answer is false

<h3>Do catalysts reduce delta H?</h3>

By reducing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, a catalyst just modifies the route used to go from reactants to products. However, because it doesn't alter the state of the products or reactants, delta H is unaffected.

A catalyst reduces a reaction's activation energy, enabling a chemical reaction to occur. The number of reactant particles with energy above the activation energy increases as the temperature of a reaction rises.
