Chlorite anion was exposed to strong radiation and had 2 successive electrons removed, creating a chlorite cation. What is the m

Answer:

bent

Explanation:

The chlorite ion has been pictured in the image attached with its two main resonance contributors.

The ion has four regions of electron density as shown. On the basis of the VSEPR theory, we expect a tetrahedral geometry.

However, the ion is bent due to the effect of the lone pairs on chlorine which is the central atom in the ion. This distorts the bond angle of the ion hence the ion has a bent molecular geometry.

Answer : The work done by the system is, 2.2722 J

Explanation :

The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,

w=nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas  = 0.00100 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas  = 25^oC=273+25=298K

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = 25 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas  = 75 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

w=0.00100mole\times 8.314J/moleK\times 298K\times \ln (\frac{75}{25})

w=2.722J

Therefore, the work done by the system is, 2.2722 J

Q.1-

Given,

mass - 10grams

volume - 24 cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 10/24

density = 0.416 g/cm³

Q.2-

Given,

mass - 700grams

volume - 1100cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 700/1100

density = 0.6363 g/cm³

How are photons emitted by atoms?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

<em>When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.</em>
