Answer: Among the listed substances $XeCl_{4}$ is the molecular compound.

Explanation:

A chemical compound formed by the chemical combination of two or more non-metals is called a molecular compound or covalent compound.

For example, Xe and Cl are non-metals. The compound formed by them is $XeCl_{4}$ which is a molecular compound.

A molecular compound is formed by sharing of atoms between the combining atoms.

Whereas NaF, $MnCl_{2}$ and CaO are all ionic compounds as they are formed by chemical combination of a metal and a non-metal.

Thus, we can conclude that among the listed substances $XeCl_{4}$ is the molecular compound.

For SCl4, the electron domain geometry is _______(i)________ and the molecular geometry is ______(ii)________.

Likurg_2 [28]

The electron domain geometry is trigonal bipyramidal while the molecular geometry of the compound is seesaw.

The shapes of molecules is determined by the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. These electron domains include lone pairs and bond pairs.

The lone pairs only contribute towards the electron domain geometry and not the molecular geometry. SCl4 has five electron domains hence its electron domain geometry is trigonal bipyramidal. The molecular geometry of the compound is seesaw.

brilliants [131]

9.4 × 10⁻³ mg (0.73 mmoles) of Al(OH)₃ is formed

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq) + 6 NaOH(aq) → 2 Al(OH)₃(s) + 3 Na₂SO₄(aq)

The precipitate mentioned by the problem is aluminium hydroxide Al(OH)₃.

Now to determine the number of moles of sodium hydroxide NaOH we use the following formula:

molar concentration = number of moles / volume

number of moles = molar concentration × volume

number of moles of NaOH = 0.088 M × 25 mL = 2.2 mmoles

number of moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 5.6 × 10⁻³ moles = 5.6 mmoles (found in the problem text)

We see from the chemical reaction that 1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ requires 6 moles of NaOH so 5.6 mmoles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ would require 6 times more NaOH which is 33.6 mmoles and we have only 2.2 mmoles. The limiting reactant will be NaOH.

Now we devise the following reasoning:

if 6 mmoles of NaOH produces 2 mmoles of Al(OH)₃

then 2.2 mmoles of NaOH produces X mmoles of Al(OH)₃

X = (2.2 × 2) / 6 = 0.73 mmoles of Al(OH)₃

mass of Al(OH)₃ = number of moles / molecular weight

mass of Al(OH)₃ = 0.73 / 78

mass of Al(OH)₃ = 9.4 × 10⁻³ mg

Boiling refers to which phase change?

Monica [59]

Boiling or also called evaporation is the conversion of liquid to gas through the application of heat. This phase change is an endothermic change and is the opposite of condensation from gas to liquid.
