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 is the PH of a 1.3×(10)^-9 M HBr solution?
olga nikolaevna [1]

pH solution = 8.89

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The concentration of HBr solution = 1.3 x 10⁻⁹ M

Required

the pH

Solution

HBr = strong acid

General formula for strong acid :

[H⁺]= a . M

a = amount of H⁺

M = molarity of solution

HBr⇒H⁺ + Br⁻⇒ amount of H⁺ = 1 so a=1

Input the value :

[H⁺] = 1 x  1.3 x 10⁻⁹

[H⁺] = 1.3 x 10⁻⁹

pH = - log [H⁺]

pH = 9 - log 1.3

pH = 8.89

Using the molarity equation, calculate how many grams of salt you need in order to make 80ml of a 2M solution (MW = 58.44g/mole)
ollegr [7]

Answer:

9.35g

Explanation:

The molarity equation establishes that:

\textrm{molarity}=\frac{\textrm{moles  of solute}}{\textrm{liters of solution}}

So, we have information about molarity (2M) and volume (80 ml=0.08 l), with that, we can find the moles of solute:

\textrm{moles of solute}=\textrm{molarity}*\textrm{liters of solution}

\textrm{moles of solute}= 0.08 \textrm{ l} *2\textrm{ M} = 0.16 \textrm{ mol}

The  mathematical equation that establishes the relationship between molar weight, mass and moles is:

\textrm{molar weight}= \frac{\textrm{mass}}{\textrm{moles}}

\textrm{MW}= \frac{\textrm{m}}{\textrm{n}}

We have MW (58.44g/mole) and n (0.16 mol), and we need to find m (grams of salt needed) to solve the problem:

\textrm{m} = \textrm{MW * n}= 58.44\frac{\textrm{g}}{\textrm{mol}} * 0.16 \textrm{ mol} = 9.35 \textrm{ g}

Phosgene is formed from carbon monoxide and chlorine. At 611 oC, Kc is approximately 16.5 M-1 or L/mol. Calculate Kp (in atm-1)
defon

Answer:

Kp is 0.228/atm

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CO + Cl<u>₂</u> → CCl₂O

1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1 mol of chlorine produce 1 mol of phosgene.

Formula for Kp which derivates from Kc is:

Kp = Kc (R.T)ⁿᵇ ⁻ ⁿᵃ

Δп = nb (moles in the products) - nₐ(moles in the reactants)

Δп = 1 - 2 = -1

T is T° in K → T°C + 273 = 611°C +273 = 884K

R → Universal constant gas → 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

We replace the data: Kp = 16.5 L/mol (0.082 . 884K)⁻¹ → 0.228/atm

Mrs. DeFord wanted to know whether or not her students would do better on a quiz if she promised them candy.
marta [7]

Answer:

a.) Independent Variable: # of candy bars promised to each group

[ The Independent Varaiable is what you change in the experiment]

b.) Dependent Variable: Quiz Scores

[ The Dependent Variable is what you're testing in the experiment; what the experiment should affect]

c.) Constant(s): Same Quiz, same number of gender kids in each group, same age kids in each group, same ability, and same background. [and same time, I'm assuming.]

[Constants are what you keep the same in the experiment; what you're not changing.]

d.) Testable Question: Will promising kids candy make them do better on tests and quizzes? [or something along this lines of this]

[The Testable Question is what you're trying to find out in the experiment]

e.) Hypothesis: The more candy the students were promised, the better results Mrs. DeFord would get from them.

[The Hypothesis is what the person performing the experiment expects will happen; an educated guess]

f. Formal Conclusion: Data shows that kids who were promised more candy had a better average than kids who were promised less candy/none. Mrs. DeFord's hypothesis was correct, since she assumed the more candy the students were promised, the better they would do on the quiz.

[The Formal Conclusion is what you have learned from the experiment, and wether or not the hypothesis was correct or not.]

I hope this helps! :)
