Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Usually, the central atom in a molecule is often the atom having the least electronegativity in the compound.

In CO2F^-, the central atom is carbon. The structure is related to the structure of CO2. In CO2F^-, carbon is sp hybridized. The molecule is linear.

In S2Cl2, sulphur is the central atom. There are two central sulphur atoms each connected to one chlorine atom. The sulphur atoms are sp3 hybridized with two lone pairs on each sulphur atom. The molecular geometry is bent.

How would a solute affect the boiling point of water?
Alex787 [66]
The answer is C. The water will boil at a higher temperature. This is because the solute is an impurity that raises the boiling point and lowers the melting point of water.

Write, Balance and Label the type of reaction: Potassium Hydroxide plus phosphoric acid yields potassium phosphate and water.
natali 33 [55]

In order to balance this, you have to count each element where the elements in the reactants side and the product side should have equal number of molecules. The balanced reaction is as follows:

 

KOH + H3PO4 = KH2PO4 +H2O

The activation energy for the isomerization ol cyclopropane to propene is 274 kJ/mol. By what factor does the rate of this react
Bond [772]

Answer:

The rate of the reaction increased by a factor of 1012.32

Explanation:

Applying Arrhenius equation

ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

where;

k₂/k₁ is the ratio of the rates which is the factor

Ea is the activation energy = 274 kJ/mol.

T₁ is the initial temperature = 231⁰C = 504 k

T₂ is the final temperature = 293⁰C = 566 k

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

Substituting this values into the equation above;

ln(k₂/k₁) = 274000/8.314(1/504 - 1/566)

ln(k₂/k₁) = 32956.4589 (0.00198-0.00177)

ln(k₂/k₁)  = 6.92

k₂/k₁ = exp(6.92)

k₂/k₁ = 1012.32

The rate of the reaction increased by 1012.32
