Answer:

A. VSEPR theory assumes each atom molecule has a geometry to help minimize the repulsion between the electrons within the valence shell of the central atom.

B. Repulsion determines the molecular shape as the electrons are negativley charged. The negativity makes the atoms spread out as much as possible.

C. Lone electron pairs have greater repelling effects as they are closer to the nucleus of the central atom unlike bonding pairs.

A 0.04328 g sample of gas occupies 10.0-mL at 294.0 K and 1.10 atm. Upon further analysis, the compound is found to be 25.305% C

stepan [7]

Answer:

The molecular formula of the gas sample = $C_2Cl_2$

Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

The geometry around each carbon atom is linear.

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 294.0 K

V = 10.0 mL = 0.01 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L )

Pressure = 1.10 atm

Using ideal gas equation as:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol

Applying the equation as:

1.10 atm × 0.01 L = n ×0.0821 L atm/ K mol × 294.0 K

⇒n = 0.0004557 mol

Given, mass = 0.04328 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0004557\ mole= \frac{0.04328\ g}{Molar\ mass}$

Molar mass of the gas sample = 94.9747 g/mol

Given that:-

% of C = 25.305

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 25.305 / 12.0107 = 2.1069

% of Cl = 74.695

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

% moles of Cl = 74.695 / 35.453 = 2.1069

Taking the simplest ratio for C and Cl as:

2.1069 : 2.1069 = 1 : 1

The empirical formula is = $CCl$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 35.5 = 47.5 g/mol

Molar mass = 94.9747 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

94.9747 = n × 47.5

⇒ n = 2

The molecular formula of the gas sample = $C_2Cl_2$

Also,

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of Chlorine = 7

The total number of the valence electrons = 4*2 + 7*2 = 22

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom in the molecule is complete. So,

The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

According to the theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability. The carbon atoms are sp hybridized.

So, it is of linear shape.

Please explain how to find each answer solution.

svp [43]

Explanation:

1) Based on the octet rule, iodine form an I⁻ ion.

Therefore,

Option E is correct ✔

2) The electronic configuration of the sulfide ion (S²⁻) is :

₁₆S = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴ or [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴

₁₈S²⁻ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ or [Ne] 3s² 3p⁶

Therefore,

Option E is correct ✔

3) valence shell electron of

Halogens = 7

Alkali metal = 1

Alkaline earth metal = 2

Therefore,

Option D is correct ✔

4) Group 2 element lose two electron in order to achieve Noble gas configuration.

And here Group 2 element is Sr

Therefore,

Option B is correct ✔

5) Group 13 element lose three electron in order to achieve Noble gas configuration.

And here Group 13 element is Al

Therefore,

Option B is correct ✔

6) For a given arrangements of ions, the lattice energy increases as ionic radius decreases and as ionic charge increases.

Therefore,

Option A is correct ✔
