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.

The balanced chemical reaction would be:

<span>2NI3 = N2 + 3I2

We use the reaction above and the molar masses of the substances involved. We start with the initial amount of NI3 reactant.

3.58 g NI3 (1 mol NI3 / 394.71 g NI3) (3 mol I2 / 2 mol NI3) = 0.0136 mol I2

Therefore, option C is the answer.</span>

Answer:

1) Increase

2) Decreases

3) increases

4) Increase

Explanation:

These questions can only be answered by considering the principle which states that, "When a constraint such as a change in concentration, pressure or volume is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium. The system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint."

Now, if more reactants are added, the equilibrium position will shift towards the right, If more products are added, the equilibrium position will shift to the left.

Similarly, the removal of H2S causes the O2 concentration to increase since the equilibrium position now shifts to the left.

Also, addition of O2 causes H2S to be removed as the equilibrium moves to the right.
