4 0

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A tetarhedral geometry is the geometry which includes four atoms bonded to the central atom and it does not contain any lone pair of electron.

For example,  CH_{4} has tetrahedral geometry.

Thus, we can conclude that a molecule which contains four bonded pairs of electrons and zero lone pairs. The name of the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.

What is the theoretical yield of vanadium, in moles, that can be produced by the reaction of 1.0 mole of V2O5 with 4.0 moles of
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of vanadium = 1.6 moles

Explanation:

Moles of V_2O_5 = 1.0 moles

Moles of Ca = 4.0 moles

According to the given reaction:-

V_2O_5_{(s)} + 5Ca_{(l)}\rightarrow 2V_{(l)} + 5CaO_{(s)}

1 mole of V_2O_5 react with 5 moles of Ca

Moles of Ca available = 4.0 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, Ca is limiting reagent. (4.0 < 5)

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

5 moles of Ca on reaction forms 2 moles of V

1 mole of Ca on reaction for 2/5 mole of V

4.0 mole of Ca on reaction for \frac{2}{5}\times 4 mole of V

Moles of V = 1.6 moles

<u>Theoretical yield of vanadium = 1.6 moles</u>

How many Joules does it take to raise 1 g of water 2°C
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Quantitative experiments show that 4.18 Joules of heat energy are required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1°C. Thus, a liter (1000g) of water that increased from 24 to 25°C has absorbed 4.18 J/g°C x 1000g x 1°C or 4180 Joules of energy.

Which of the following [H+] values describes the most basic (alkaline) solution?
Aleks04 [339]
The H+ concentration that would best describe a basic solution would be the one having values less than 10^-7. The pH of a solution is related to H+ concentration by pH = -log[H+]. Therefore, as the concentration of H+ decreases the alkalinity would rise.

What is the transfer of electrons in Al + Cl = AlCl3
otez555 [7]

Answer:

3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.

Explanation

This is a redox reaction.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
  • [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)

A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.

Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl

[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.

and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]

This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.

Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃

Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)

Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.

Explain and describe how the photoelectric effect occurs on an atomic level in terms of protons, neutrons, and electrons
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation, such as light, hits a material. Electrons emitted in this manner are called photoelectrons.

Based on the wave model of light, physicists predicted that increasing light amplitude would increase the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, while increasing the frequency would increase measured current.
