Answer:

[Ni(CN)4]2- square planar

[NiCl4]2- tetrahedral

Explanation:

For a four coordinate complex such as [Ni(CN)4]2- and [NiCl4]2-, we can decide its geometry by closely considering its magnetic properties. Both of the complexes are d8 complexes which could be found either in the tetrahedral or square planar crystal field depending on the nature of the ligand.

CN^- being a strong field ligand leads to the formation of a square planar diamagnetic d8 complex of Ni^2+. Similarly, Cl^- being a weak field ligand leads to the formation a a tetrahedral paramagnetic d8 complex of Ni^+ hence the answer given above.

What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Zanzabum
When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and freeneutrons

A chemistry student is given 600. mL of a clear aqueous solution at 27.° C. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound X
DiKsa [7]

Answer: No

Explanation:

Firstly, the molar mass of the dissolved solid is not given. This is necessary to calculate the number of moles present in solution. Secondly, solubility always has to do with temperature and the specified temperature is 27°c and not 21°c. This makes it impossible to calculate the solubility at 21°c. Further information must supplied before the solubility at 21°c can be accurately calculated.

A solution of sodium chloride in water has a vapor pressure of 19.6 torr at 25°C. What is the mole fraction of NaCl in this solu
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Mole fraction of Nacl is 0.173

Explanation:

we know that

P_{sol}=\chi_{solvent}P^0_{solvent}

where,

P sol  - the vapor pressure of the solution

χ  solvent - the mole fraction of the solvent

P ∘ solvent  - the vapor pressure of the pure solvent

This means that in order to be able to calculate the mole fraction of sodium chloride, you need to know what the vapor pressure of pure water is at  

25 ° C  You can use an online calculator to find that the vapor pressure of pure water at  25 C  is equal to about  23.8 torr .

\chi_{water}= \frac{P{sol}}{P^0{water}}

\chi_{water}= \frac{19.6}{23.8}

=0.827

Also we know that

\chi_{water}+\chi_{Nacl}= 1

This means that the mole fraction of sodium chloride is

χ_{Nacl}= 1-Χ_{water}

= 1-0.827 =0.173
