Answer:

D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₅(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

And knowing:

Kc = [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

When you add PCl₅ into a flask, this gas will react producing PCl₃ and Cl₂ until [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

This could be written as:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

<em>Where X represents the moles of PCl₅ that react, </em><em>reaction coordinate.</em>

Replacing in Kc expression:

[PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

[X [X] / [0.125 - X] = 1.80

X² = 0.225 - 1.80X

0 = -X² -1.80X + 0.225

Solving for X:

X = -1.9M → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.11735M → Right solution.

Replacing, concentrations in equilibrium are:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

[PCl₃] = 0.117M

[Cl₂] = 0.117M

[PCl₅] = 0.00765M

And right option is:

kiruha [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NH_3$

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.
