Give the ideal bond angle for BrO3- ion? I know this has trigonal bipyramidal geometry and therefore the bond angle is < 109.

5. Is there a way to determine a more specific bond angle?

Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.

The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of copper. 63cu has a mass of 62.9296 amu. 65cu has a mass of 64.9278 amu. determine
SSSSS [86.1K]
1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.


You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.


2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.


This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:


=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 *  atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.


3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x


=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278


=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x


=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546


=> 1.9982x = 1.3818


=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%


=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%


Answer:


Cu-63 69.15%;


Cu-65 : 30.85%

Can spectrum colors be mixed
larisa86 [58]
Additive color mixing involves multiple sources of light with different colors in each source. Subtractive color mixing involves a single source of light with different colors absorbing various wavelengths of the color spectrum. Secondary colors of one system serve as the primary colors for the other.

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce ga
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

Explanation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3 Haber reaction

Volume of dinitrogen consumed in a second = 505 L

Temperature at which reaction is carried out,T= 172°C = 445.15 K

Pressure at which reaction is carried out, P = 0.88 atm

Let the moles of dinitrogen be n.

Using an Ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.88 atm\times 505 L}{0.0821 atm l/mol K\times 445.15 K}=12.1597 mol

According to reaction , 1 mol of ditnitrogen gas produces 2 moles of ammonia.

Then 12.1597 mol of dinitrogen will produce :

\frac{2}{1}\times 12.1597 mol=24.3194 mol of ammonia

Mass of 24.3194 moles of ammonia =24.3194 mol × 17 g/mol

=413.43 g=0.41343 kg ≈ 0.41 kg

505 L of dinitrogen are consumed in 1 second to produce 0.41 kg of ammonia in 1 second. So the rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.
