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.

The electrolysis of molten NaCl is an industrial process. What does the electrolysis produce?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

it is D

Explanation:

NaOH and chlorine gas

Electrolysis of Aqueous NaCl Since water can be both oxidized and reduced, it competes with the dissolved Na+ and Cl– ions. Rather than producing sodium, hydrogen is produced. ... The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas.

a sample of solid is decomposed and found to contain 6.52g of potassium, 4.34 g of chromium and 5.34 of oxygen, what is the empi
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

K₂CrO₅

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. To find the empirical formula, we follow the procedure below:

Elements                         Potassium                 Chromium         Oxygen

Mass                                  6.52                             4.34                  5.34

Molar mass                          39                               60                      16

Number of moles             6.52/39                     4.34/60             5.34/16

                                             0.167                          0.072              0.333

Divide through by

the smallest                      0.167/0.072             0.072/0.072          0.333/0.072

                                            2.3                               1                                4.6

Mercury’s atomic emission spectrum is shown below. Estimate the wavelength of the orange line. What is its frequency? What is th
lions [1.4K]

The wavelength of the orange line is 610 nm, the frequency of this emission is 4.92 x 10¹⁴ Hz and the energy of the emitted photon corresponding to this <em>orange line</em> is 3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

<em>"Your question is not complete, it seems to be missing the diagram of the emission spectrum"</em>

the diagram of the emission spectrum has been added.

<em>From the given</em><em> chart;</em>

The wavelength of the atomic emission corresponding to the orange line is 610 nm = 610 x 10⁻⁹ m

The frequency of this emission is calculated as follows;

c = fλ

where;

  • <em>c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s</em>
  • <em>f is the frequency of the wave</em>
  • <em>λ is the wavelength</em>

f = \frac{c}{\lambda } \\\\f = \frac{3\times 10^8}{610 \times 10^{-9}} \\\\f = 4.92 \times 10^{14} \ Hz

The energy of the emitted photon corresponding to the orange line is calculated as follows;

E = hf

where;

  • <em>h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js</em>

<em />

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴) x (4.92 x 10¹⁴)

E = 3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

Thus, the wavelength of the orange line is 610 nm, the frequency of this emission is 4.92 x 10¹⁴ Hz and the energy of the emitted photon corresponding to this <em>orange line</em> is 3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

What is the mass of NaCl required to make 140 grams of a 12% solution of NaCl in water?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

C. 17 grams.

Explanation:

∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.

mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.

<em>∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 </em>= (12.0)(140.0)/100 = <em>16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.</em>
