Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

A 2.00 liter evacuated container has a mass of 1050.0 g. When the container is filled with an unknown gas at 800. mm Hg pressure
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

(A) 28

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the <em>PV=nRT equation</em>, where:

  • P = 800 mmHg ⇒ 800/760 = 1.05 atm
  • V = 2.00 L
  • n = ?
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • T = 25.0 °C ⇒ 25.0 + 273.16 = 298.16 K

We<u> input the data</u>:

  • 1.05 atm * 2.00 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K

And <u>solve for n</u>:

  • n = 0.086 mol

Now we calculate the gas' mass:

  • Gas Mass = (Mass of Container w/ Gas) - (Mass of Empty Container)
  • Gas Mass = 1052.4 g - 1050.0 g = 2.4 g

Finally we <u>calculate the unknown gas' molar mas</u>s, using<em> its mass and its number of moles</em>:

  • Molar Mass = mass / moles
  • Molar Mass = 2.4 g / 0.086 mol = 27.9 g/mol

So the answer is option (A).

Explain why gases such as the oxygen found in tanks used as hospitals are compressed. why must care be taken to prevent compress
allochka39001 [22]

They are compressed so that a larger amount of gas can be stored in a smaller container. A greater mass confined to a smaller volume makes transporting and storing of gases easier. Increasing temperature increases pressure, and the cylinders might explode. Before compressed oxygen can be breathed, it must be decompressed.
