It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;

                  Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.

                  Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;

                                      i) Magnetism

                                      ii) Phase of matter

                                       iii) Color

                                      iv) Reactivity

                                       v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>

The solubility of oxygen gas in water at 40 ∘c is 1.0 mmol/l of solution. What is this concentration in units of mole fraction?
juin [17]

The formula for mole fraction is:

mole fraction of solute = \frac{number of moles of solute}{total number of moles of solution}    -(1)

The solubility of oxygen gas = 1.0 mmol/L  (given)

1.0 mmol/L means 1.0 mmol are present in 1 L.

Converting mmol to mol:

1.00 mmol\times \frac{1 mol}{1000 mmol} = 0.001 mol

So, moles of oxygen = 0.001 mol

For moles of water:

1 L of water = 1000 mL of water

Since, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Mass = 1.0 g/ml\times 1000 mL = 1000 g

So, the mass of water is 1000 g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol.

Number of moles of water = \frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol} = 55.55 mol

Substituting the values in formula (1):

mole fraction = \frac{0.001}{55.55+0.001}

mole fraction = 1.8\times 10^{-5}

Hence, the mole fraction is 1.8\times 10^{-5}.

1.65g of zinc is used to make 8g of zinc iodide. How much iodine is required for this reaction?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

6.45 g of iodine, I₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Zn + I₂ —> ZnI₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of Zn and I₂ that reacted from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Zn = 65 g/mol

Mass of Zn from the balanced equation = 1 × 65 = 65 g

Molar mass of I₂ = 127 × 2 = 254 g/mol

Mass of I₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 254 = 254 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

65 g of Zn reacted with 254g of I₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of f I₂ needed to react with 1.65 g of Zn. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

65 g of Zn reacted with 254g of I₂.

Therefore, 1.65 g of Zn will react with = (1.65 × 254)/65 = 6.45 g of I₂.

Thus, 6.45 g of iodine, I₂ is needed for the reaction.
