Answer: trigonal bipyramidal

Explanation:

Number of electron pairs = $\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

$SbCl_5$ :

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3d$ and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal bipyramidal.

Sixty liters of a gas were collected over water when the barometer read 663 mmhg , and the temperature was 20∘c. what volume wou

lesya [120]

First, let's compute the number of moles in the system assuming ideal gas behavior.

PV = nRT
(663 mmHg)(1atm/760 mmHg)(60 L) = n(0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(20+273 K)
Solving for n,
n = 2.176 moles

At standard conditions, the standard molar volume is 22.4 L/mol. Thus,

Standard volume = 22.4 L/mol * 2.176 mol = 48.74 L

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?

bonufazy [111]

Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.

A 250 mL sample of gas is collected over water at 35°C and at a total pressure of 735 mm Hg. If the vapor pressure of water at 3

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The volume of the gas sample at standard pressure is 819.5ml

Explanation:

Solution Given:

let volume be V and temperature be T and pressure be P.

$V_1=250ml$

$V_2=?$

$P_{total}=735 mmhg$

1 torr= 1 mmhg

42.2 torr=42.2 mmhg

so,

$P_{water}=42.2mmhg$

$T_1=35°C=35+273=308 K$

Now

firstly we need to find the pressure due to gas along by subtracting the vapor pressure of water.

$P_{gas}=P_{total}-P_{water}$

=735-42.2=692.8 mmhg

Now

By using combined gas law equation:

$\frac{P_1*V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2*V_2}{T_2}$

$V_2=\frac{P_1*}{P_2}*\frac{T_2}{T_1} *V_1$

$V_2=\frac{P_gas}{P_2}*\frac{T_2}{T_1} *V_1$

Here $P_2 \:and\: T_2$ are standard pressure and temperature respectively.

we have

$P_2=750mmhg \:and\: T_2=273K$

Substituting value, we get

$V_2=\frac{692.8}{750}*\frac{273}{308} *250$

$V_2= 819.51 ml$

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T

SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

Explanation:

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only $\frac{1}{10}^{th}$ part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.
