What determines a molecules VSEPR shape?

Chemistry

frosja888 [35]3 years ago
3 0
Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.

Sodium tert-butoxide (NaOC(CH3)3) is classified as bulky and acts as Bronsted Lowry base in the reaction. It is reacted with 2-c
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:but-1-ene

Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.

Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.

Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .

As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.

Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.

2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene  

The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.

Calculate the wavelength of a football (425g) thrown by an NFL quarterback traveling at 50mph
AnnyKZ [126]

Wavelength is 6.976 x 10^ -35 m

Explanation:

In this, we can use De Broglie’s equation. This equation is the relationship between De Broglie’s wavelength, velocity and the mass of a moving object. In this equation, we are using plank's constant which is 6.626 x 10^-34 m^2 kg/s.

We know that one mile per hour is equivalent to 0.447 M/S.

And One gram is equivalent to 10^-3 kg.

De Broglie’s wavelength = λ ( wave length) = Plank’s constant/ Mass x velocity

λ ( wave length) = 6.626 x 10^ -34/ (425 x10^-3) x ( 50 x 0.447)

                                 = 6.626 x 10^ -34/ 0. 425 x 22.35

                                 = 6.626 x 10^ -34/ 9.498

                                 = 6.976 x10^ -35 m

So, the wavelength of the football will be 6.976 x 10^ -35 m

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.50. You already have a solution that contains 10 mmol (millimoles) of a
balandron [24]

Answer:

56.9 mmoles of acetate are required in this buffer

Explanation:

To solve this, we can think in the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH])

To make the buffer we know:

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄   CH₃COO⁻  +  H₃O⁺     Ka

We know that Ka from acetic acid is: 1.8×10⁻⁵

pKa = - log Ka

pKa = 4.74

We replace data:

5.5 = 4.74 + log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.5 - 4.74 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

0.755 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

10⁰'⁷⁵⁵ = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 . 10 = [acetate] → 56.9 mmoles

• We obtained the above 10.00-mL solution by diluting a stock solution using a 1.00-mL aliquot and placing it into a 25.00-mL vo
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) 0.0035 mole

c)  0.166 M

Explanation:

Phosphoric acid is tripotic because it has 3 acidic hydrogen atom surrounding it.

The equation of the reaction is expressed as:

H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O

1 mole         3 mole

The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b)  if 10.00 mL of a phosphoric acid solution required the addition of 17.50 mL of a 0.200 M NaOH(aq) to reach the endpoint; Then the molarity of the solution is calculated as follows

H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O

10 ml            17.50 ml

(x) M              0.200 M

Molarity = \frac{0.2*17.5}{1000}

= 0.0035 mole

c) What was the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution?

By stoichiometry, converting moles of NaOH to H₃PO₄; we have

= 0.0035 \ mole \ of NaOH* \frac{1 mole of H_3PO_4}{3 \ mole \ of \ NaOH}

= 0.00166 mole of H₃PO₄

Using the molarity equation to determine the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution; we have:

Molar Concentration =  \frac{mole \ \ of \ soulte }{ Volume \ of \ solution }

Molar Concentration = \frac{0.00166 \ mole \ of \  H_3PO_4 }{10}*1000

Molar Concentration = 0.166 M

∴  the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution = 0.166 M
