According to the vsepr theory, which shape represents the molecule, cf4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
3 0
VSEPR is an acronym which stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. The theory is most commonly used as basis for establishing the shapes of the substances. 

CF4, as can be seen, has only one carbon atom and four fluorine atoms. The most preferred shape of the chemical is therefore, tetrahedral.

Certain compound contains 7.3% carbon, 4.5% hydrogen, 36.4% oxygen, and 31.8% nitrogen. It’s reality molecular mass is 176.0. Fi
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

carbon        7.3%          =     7.3g

hydrogen    4.5%         =      4.5g

oxygen       36.4%         =     36.4 g

nitrogen     31.8%         =     31.8 g

Now

For carbon

                    12 g --------------------1 mol

                    7.3 g     -------------     x

                       x = 7.3/12 = 0.608 mol

For hydrogen

                 1 g   --------------------  1 mol

                 4.5 g  ------------------    x

                   x = 4.5 mol

For oxygen

             16 g ------------------- 1 mol

             36.4 g ----------------    x

             x = 2.28 mol

For nitrogen

              14 g   ----------------   1 mol

              31.8 g ---------------    x

             x = 2.27 mol

Now divide by the lowest result, the is 0.608 from carbon

carbon              0.608/0.608 = 1

hydrogen           4.5/ 0.608 = 7.4

oxygen              2.28/0.608 = 3.75

nitrogen             2.27/0.608 = 3.73

Empirical formula = CH₇O₄N₄

5. Which statement is true about electronegativity?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,

Explanation:

The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.

Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.

This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.

Calculate the moles of solute dissolved in 4.2 dm3 of a 0.5 mol / dm3 solution.
Archy [21]

Answer:

Example

0.5 mol of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 2 dm3 of water. Calculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution formed.

Concentration =

Concentration = 0.25 mol/dm3

Volume units

Volumes used in concentration calculations must be in dm3, not in cm3. It is useful to know that 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3. This means:

divide by 1000 to convert from cm3 to dm3

multiply by 1000 to convert from dm3 to cm3

For example, 250 cm3 is 0.25 dm3 (250 ÷ 1000). It is often easiest to convert from cm3 to dm3 before continuing with a concentration calculation.

Question

100 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid contains 0.02 mol of dissolved hydrogen chloride. Calculate the concentration of the acid in mol/dm3.

Reveal answer

Converting between units

The relative formula mass of the solute is used to convert between mol/dm3 and g/dm3:

to convert from mol/dm3 to g/dm3, multiply by the relative formula mass

to convert from g/dm3 to mol/dm3, divide by the relative formula mass

Remember: the molar mass is the Ar or Mr in grams per mol.

Example

Calculate the concentration of 0.1 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide solution in g/dm3. (Mr of NaOH = 40)

Concentration = 0.1 × 40

= 4 g/dm3

Part A Which acid in each of the following pairs has the stronger conjugate base? Match the words in the left column to the appr
vichka [17]

Answer:

HF

H₂S

H₂CO₃

NH₄⁺

Explanation:

<em>Which acid in each of the following pairs has the stronger conjugate base?</em>

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, <em>the weaker an acid, the stronger its conjugate acid</em>. Especially for weak acids, pKa gives information about the strength of such acid. <em>The higher the pKa, the weaker the acid.</em>

<em />

  • Of the acids HCl or HF, the one with the stronger conjugate base is HF because it is a weak acid.
  • Of the acids H₂S or HNO₂, the one with the stronger conjugate base is    H₂S  because it is a weaker acid. pKa (H₂S) = 7.04 > pKa (HNO₂) = 3.39
  • Of the acids H₂CO₃ or HClO₄, the one with the stronger conjugate base is H₂CO₃ because it is a weak acid.
  • Of the acids HF or NH₄⁺, the one with the stronger conjugate base is NH₄⁺ because it is a weaker acid. pKa (HF) = 3.17 < pKa (NH₄⁺) = 9.25
