Answer:

Electron pair geometry- trigonal planar

There is one lone pair around the boron atom

The geometry of BH2 is bent

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory offers a frame work for determining the shape of molecules based on the number of electron pairs of the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In BH2-, the central atom is boron. There is a lone pair on boron. Owing to the lone pair on boron, the molecular geometry of BH2 is bent.

The reaction (CH3)3CBr + OH- (CH3)3COH + Br- in a certain solvent is first order with respect to (CH3)3CBr and zero order with r

son4ous [18]

Answer and Explanation:

The rate constant (K) is related to activation energy (Ea), frequency factor (A) and temperature (T) in Kelvin by the equation

R = molar gas constant

K = A(e^(-Ea/RT))

Taking natural log of both sides

In K = In A - (Ea/RT)

In K = (-Ea/R)(1/T) + In A

Comparing this to the equation of a straight line; y = mx + c

y = In K, slope, m = (-Ea/R), x = (1/T) and intercept, c = In A

a) From the question, m = (-Ea/R) = -1.10 × (10^4) K

(-Ea/R) = -1.10 × (10^4) = -11000

R = 8.314 J/K.mol

Ea = -11000 × 8.314 = 91454 J/mol = 91.454 KJ/mol

b) c = In A = 33.5

A = e^33.5 = (3.54 × (10^14))/s

c) K = A(e^(-Ea/RT))

A = (3.54 × (10^14))/s, Ea = 91454 J/mol, T = 25°C = 298.15 K, R = 8.314 J/K.mol

K = (3.54 × (10^14))(e^(-91454/(8.314×298.15))) = 0.0336/s

HELP PLEASE!! (100 points)

MrRa [10]

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped

A solution made by mixing 20.0 g of a non-volatile compound with 125 mL of water at 25°C has a vapor pressure of 22.67 torr. Wha

Ainat [17]

We have that the molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol)

$m=44.15g/mol$

From the question we are told

A solution made by mixing 20.0 g of a non-volatile compound with 125 mL of water at 25°C has a vapor pressure of 22.67 torr. What is the molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol).

Generally the equation for the Rouault's law is mathematically given as

P=P_0 N

$22.67=23.8*\frac{\frac{12.5}{18}}{\frac{125}{18}+\frac{15}{m}}\\\\\6.95+\frac{15}{m}=7.29\\\\\frac{15}{m}=7.29-6.95\\\\m=\frac{15}{0.34}\\\\m=44.11g/mol$

Therefore

The molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol)

$m=44.15g/mol$

How is an elements outer electron configuration related to its position in the periodic table?

Umnica [9.8K]

Well, if you look at group 1 of the periodic table, you will notice a thrend. All elements in group 1 have 1 valence / outer electron. Then you look at period 2, 3, 4 and so on, you will see that the group number corresponds the number of valence/ outershell electrons. Hence, the group determines the electron(s) on the outershell.
