Chemistry
1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

The given molecules are SO2 and BrF5.

Explanation:

Consider the molecule SO2:

The central atom is S.

The number of domains on S in this molecule is three.

Domain geometry is trigonal planar.

But there is a lone pair on the central atom.

So, according to VSEPR theory,

the molecular geometry becomes bent or V-shape.

Hybridization on the central atom is

sp^{2}.

Consider the molecule BrF5:

The central atom is Br.

The number of domains on the central atom is six.

Domain geometry is octahedral.

But the central atom has a lone pair of electrons.

So, the molecular geometry becomes square pyramidal.

The hybridization of the central atom is sp^{3} d^{2}.

The shapes of SO2 and BrF5 are shown below:

Consider the following equilibrium:
Ainat [17]

<u>Answer: </u>The equation which is wrong is K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given reaction:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

The expression for K_c\text{ and }K_p is given by:

K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

K_p=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

The concentration of solids are taken to be 1, only concentration of gases and liquid states are taken. The pressure of only gases are taken.

Relationship between K_p\text{ and }K_c is given by the expression:

K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n_g}

where,

\Delta n_g= number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants

R = gas constant

T= temperature

For the above reaction,

\Delta n_g = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants = 0 - 3 = -3

Hence, the expression for K_p is:

K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}

Therefore, the equation which is wrong is K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}

What do the superscripts and subscripts in the notation ^40 K represent?
raketka [301]

Explanation:

subscript is K

superscript is ^

subscript K means a unit of temperature like F or C

superscript ^ means to the power of

So all together it means to the power of 40 K
