How will electron pairs behave towards one another according to VSEPR?

1 answer:

8 0

Electrons are negatively charged particles. Like charges repel one another, so electron pairs will want to be as far apart from each other as possible. Thus, the answer here would be A.

Answer:

5.06 atm

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass of S2O = 175g

Volume (V) = 16600 mL

Temperature (T) = 195°C

Pressure (P)

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of S2O in 175g of S2O.

Mass of S2O = 175g

Molar Mass of S2O = (32x2) + 16 = 64 + 16 = 80g/mol

Number of mole of S2O =.?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of S2O = 175/80

Number of mole of S2O = 2.1875 moles

Step 3:

Conversion to appropriate units.

It is essential to always express the various variables in the right units of measurement in order to obtain the desired answer in the right units.

For volume:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 16600mL = 16600/1000 = 16.6L

For temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

Temperature (celsius) = 195°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 195°C + 273 = 468K

Step 4:

Determination of the pressure.

The pressure can be obtained by the application of the ideal gas equation. This is illustrated below:

Volume (V) = 16.6L

Temperature (T) = 468K

Number of mole (n) = 2.1875 moles

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Pressure (P) =

PV = nRT

P x 16.6 = 2.1875 x 0.082 x 468

Divide both side by 16.6

P = (2.1875 x 0.082 x 468) /16.6

P = 5.06 atm

Therefore, the pressure is 5.06 atm

Generally, when going down a group on the periodic table:

antiseptic1488 [7]

The correct answer is ionic radii increase.

The ionic radii decrease as one move across the periodic table, that is, from left to right, while the ionic radius increases as one move from top to bottom on the periodic table. As one moves down a group in the periodic table, the supplementary layers of electrons are being added that usually results in the increase of the ionic radius as one moves down the periodic table.
