Explain how lone pairs of electrons influence the shape of a molecule.

1 answer:

Ronch [10]3 years ago

3 0

Explanation:

the lone pairs will be negatively charged. these have a repulsion effect on other negatively charged electrons in the shells of atoms. picture a water molecule: the lone electron pair on the top of the oxygen will have a repulsion force on the 2 hydrogen atom's orbiting electrons to cause a bent molecular geometry.

Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

$In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)$

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : $In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

At cathode; Reduction-half reaction : $Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd(s)$ ....... (2)

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}$

$3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)$

Net reaction: $2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

How many milliliters of 0.0050 N KOH are required to neutralize 41 mL of 0.0050 M H2SO4?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

V KOH = 41 mL

Explanation:

for neutralization:

( V×<em>C </em>)acid = ( V×<em>C </em>)base

∴ <em>C </em>H2SO4 = 0.0050 M = 0.0050 mol/L

∴ V H2SO4 = 41 mL = 0.041 L

∴ <em>C</em> KOH = 0.0050 N = 0.0050 eq-g/L

∴ E KOH = 1 eq-g/mol

⇒ <em>C</em> KOH = (0.0050 eq-g/L)×(mol KOH/1 eq-g) = 0.0050 mol/L

⇒ V KOH = ( V×<em>C </em>) acid / <em>C </em>KOH

⇒ V KOH = (0.041 L)(0.0050 mol/L) / (0.0050 mol/L)

⇒ V KOH = 0.041 L
