Answer:
The central atom has 3 electron domains.
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.
The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.
Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.
<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>
Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.
Answer : The final volume will be, 84.4 mL
Explanation :
Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
or,
where,
= initial pressure = 760 torr
= final pressure = 120 kPa = 900 torr (1 kPa = 7.5 torr)
= initial volume = 100 mL
= final volume = ?
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, the final volume will be, 84.4 mL
Answer:
0.85M
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of CuCl₂ = 400g
Volume of water = 3.5L
Unknown:
Molarity of the solution = ?
Solution:
Molarity is one of the ways of expressing the concentrations of a solution. It is defined as the number of moles per unit volume of a solvent.
Molarity = 
To find the number of moles of CuCl₂;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of CuCl₂ = 63.6 + 2(35.5) = 134.6g/mol
Number of moles = 
= 2.97moles
Molarity = 
= 0.85M
