Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.

Balance the chemical equation.Au plus HC l plus HNO 3 right arrow AuC l Subscript 3 Baseline plus NO plus Upper H 2 Upper OAu+HC
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Au+ 3HCl + HNO_3 \to AuCl_3+NO+2H_2O

Explanation:

Chemical Equations are representations of chemical reactions in terms of the symbols and formulae of the elements and compounds involved. A chemical equation usually have the reactant at the left hand side while the product is on the right hand side.

A chemical Equation is of little or no value if is not in balanced equation. When an equation is balanced , the total number of atoms of any element on the left-hand side of it must be equal to the total number of atoms of that element on the right hand side.

in the given question; we are given a word problem of chemical symbol to  compute and also to balance the chemical equation.

From below; the chemical equation can be written as:

Au+ HCl + HNO_3 \to AuCl_3+NO+2H_2O

From the above  equation we will notice  that  it is not truly balanced ; so th balanced equation can be written as:

Au+ 3HCl + HNO_3 \to AuCl_3+NO+2H_2O

Why are some metals reactive than others?
Naddik [55]
<span> some elements have their outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. After this it gets more complex in explaining why they are bound with different strengths. </span>

How many moles of liquid water must freeze to remove 100 kJ of heat? (ΔHf = –334 J/<br> g.
Juliette [100K]
First figure out how many grams must freeze and then convert the grams to moles. 
<span>Hf = -334 J/g. Convert this to KJ/g by dividing by 1000. (There are 1000 Joules in a kJ). </span>
<span>Hf = -334 J/g ÷ 1000 J/kj = -0.334 kJ/g </span>
<span>Now, divide 100 kJ by -0.334 kJ/g (see how the units are lining up?) </span>
<span>100 kJ ÷ -0.334 kJ/g = 299 g </span>
<span>Now convert this to moles by dividing by the molecular weight of water (18.0g/mole). </span>
<span>299 ÷ 18.0 = 16.6 moles </span>
