Nothing at all happens because pure water cannot conduct electricity
Answer:
Answer:
step 1:balance skeleton equation the chemical equation:
Zn +HNO3➔Zn(NO3)2+NO+H2O
step 2: identity undergoing oxidation or reduction
here
Zn➔Zn(NO3)2
Zn is oxidized from 0 to 2 in oxidation no.
HNO3➔NO
N is reduced from 5 to 2 in oxidation no
Step 3: calculate change in oxidation no.
change in oxidation no
in Zn=0-2=-2=2
in
N=5-2=3
Step 4: Balance it by doing crisscrossed multiplication
we get;
3Zn +2HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O
step 6:Balance other atoms except H & O
3Zn +2HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O
3Zn +2HNO3+6HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O
finally: balance H
<em><u>3Zn +8HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+4H2O</u></em>
Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
