Answer:

CO2

Electron pair geometry- Linear

Molecular geometry- Linear

BF3

Electron pair geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry- trigonal planar

SO2

Electron geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - bent

SiCl4

Electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry - tetrahedral

PF3

Electron pair geometry - tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- trigonal pyramidal

OF2

Electron pair geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- bent

Explanation:

Considering the molecule CO2, there are two regions of electron density in the molecule positioned at an angle of 180 degrees from each other hence the molecule is linear.

For BF3, the three bond pairs are arranged at the corners of a triangle to give a trigonal planar geometry at a bond angle of 120 degrees.

SO2 has two bonding groups and one lone pair giving three regions of electron density and a trigonal planar electron pair geometry. Due to the distortion to geometry caused by the presence of a lone pair, the molecule is bent.

For SiCl4, the four bonding groups are arranged at the corners of a regular tetrahedron hence it is tetrahedral both in electron pair geometry and in molecular geometry.

PF3 molecule has four regions of electron density corresponding to tetrahedral electron pair geometry. The presence of the lone pair leads to a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

For OF2, there are four regions of electron density around the central oxygen atom. Two bond pairs and two lone pairs leads to a tetrahedral electron pair geometry but a bent molecular geometry is observed due to the two lone pairs.

Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3. What is the mass of 423 cm3 of ethanol? M = (D)(V)
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 334 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of ethanol = 423 cm³

density = 0.789 g/cm³

So we have

mass = 0.789 × 423 = 333.747

We have the final answer as

<h3>334 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

Identify the substances in this reaction:
lukranit [14]

Answer:

is an aqueous reactant

is a liquid product

is a gaseous product

Explanation:

H_2CO_3 ⇔ CO_2 + H_2O

Hydrogen carbonate dissocates to form carbon dioxide and water. The acid (hydrogen carbonate) is in aqueous form and it dissociates to water (liquid) and carbon dioxide (a gas). It is also seen that the hydrogen carbonate is on the reactant side and it dissociates to produce water and carbon dioxide.

WH_2CO_3<u> is an aqueous reactant</u> (a reactant undergoes changes in a chemical reaction

<u />H_2O<u> is a liquid product</u> (product refers to the species produced from  chemical reaction)

<u />CO_2<u> is a gaseous product</u>

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

           2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol:    2       5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:  

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}

From O₂:  

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}
