What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in PF5

1 answer:

8 0

so you can see those fluorine atoms have really spread out around the central phosphorus atom. this gives us a trigonal bi-pyramidal molecular geometry for pf5.

When a reaction has reached equilibrium... A. Q = K B. The rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction are

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state when rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction. The concentration of reactants and products becomes constant at this state.

The ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficients is termed as Equilibrium constant. It is denoted by $K_{eq}$ .

aA + bB $\rightleftharpoons$ cC

$K_{eq}=\frac{[C]^c}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

How much heat is required to increase the temperature of 100.0 grams of iron from 15.0oC to 40.2oC? (The specific heat of iron i

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer is: 1160 J of heat Is required to increase the temperature.
m(Fe) = 100 g.
∆T = 40,2 - 15 = 25,2°C.
C(Fe) = 0,46 J/g•°C.
Q = m(Fe) • C • ∆T.
Q = 100 g • 0,46 J/g•°C • 25,2°C
Q = 1160 J.
C - specific heat.
