Copper(I) complexes tend to be tetrahedral rather than octahedral or square planar. Why is this the case? Explain your reasoning

Answer:

The ion is d^10

Explanation:

Tetrahedral geometry is one in which the central atom/ion is located at the center of four ligands positioned at the corners of a tetrahedron.

It is different from a square planar complex wherein the ligands are positioned at the corners of a square with the central atom/ion at the center of the square.

Tetrahedral complexes are more common with d^10 species.The electronic configuration of Cu I is [Ar]3d104s1. Hence, a tetrahedral geometry is preferred over a square planar geometry.

How much hbro must be added to 1l of pure water to make a solution with a ph of 4.25? ka = 2.00 × 10−9 ?
RUDIKE [14]
Answer is: 153.52 grams of hypobromous acid <span>must be added.
</span>Chemical dissociation: HBrO ⇄ H⁺ + BrO⁻.
pH = 4.25.
pH = -log[H⁺].
[H⁺] = 10∧(-pH).
[H⁺] = 10∧(-4.25).
[H⁺] = [BrO⁻] = 5.62·10⁻⁵ M.
Ka = [H⁺] · [BrO⁻] / [HBrO].
2.00·10⁻⁹ = (5.62·10⁻⁵ M)² / [HBrO].
[HBrO] = 3.16·10⁻⁹ M² / 2.00·10⁻⁹.
[HBrO] = 1.58 M.
m(HBrO) = n(HBrO) · M(HBrO).
m(HBrO) = 1.58 mol · 96.91 g/mol.
m(HBrO) = 153.52 g.

1.) Give the formula for the alkane containing 500 carbons.
Alinara [238K]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the concept of General organic chemistry.

1.) The formula for alkanes is Cn H2n+2

===> here n = 500, hence we get as,

C500, 2n+2 = 2(500)+2 ==> 1000+2 ==> 1002

hence the formula is ==> C500 H1002

2.) The formula for alkenes is,

CnH2n

hence, here n = 15

so we get as,

===> C15 H30

How many moles of N₂O₅ are produced when 3.00g of O₂ react completely in the following equation? 2N₂ + 5O₂ → 2N₂O₅ A. 0.0375 B.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer: A. 0.0375

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{3.00g}{32g/mol}=0.094moles

2N_2+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 2N_2O_5

According to stoichiometry :

As 5 moles of O_2 give = 2 moles of N_2O_5

Thus 0.094 moles of O_2 give =\frac{2}{5}\times 0.094=0.0375moles  of N_2O_5

Thus 0.0375 moles of N_2O_5 will be produced when 3.00g of O₂ react completely
