Answer:
Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.
Explanation:
The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.
In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.
In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.
In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The central atom in the perbromate ion is bromine. The chemical symbol of bromine is Br. There are no lone pairs around the central bromine atom. The ion is tetrahedral in shape hence we expect a bond angle of 109°. 27 which is the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. The actual bond angle of the prebromate ion is 109.5°. The perbromate ion is BrO4^-
The observed bond angle is very close to the ideal value because of the absence of lone pairs of electrons from the central atom in the ion.
Answer:C
Explanation:
A process is called spontaneous if the process takes place on its own without the intervention of external factors.
The spontaneous processes are generally quick with observable rates of reaction.But processes can be spontaneous even with negligible rates of reaction.
Spontaneity of reactions depend on temperature.
This is because spontaneity is measured by gibbs energy or enthalpy.
Both of these measures are dependent on temperature.
So,temperature affects spontaneity.
Answer:
Grinding or breaking an Alka-Seltzer tablet increases the number of particles and increases the surface area. Material which was within the tablet is exposed, allowing for more collisions between reactant particles and resulting in an increased rate of reaction.
Q1)
We have been given the OH⁻ concentration, therefore we first need to find the pOH value and then the pH value.
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.225 M)
pOH = 0.65
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 0.65 = 13.35
Q2)
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.0015 M)
pOH = 2.82
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 2.82
pH = 11.18
