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.
The answer is (3) 48.0 g. The gram formula mass means that the mass of one mol compound. So the mass of 1.0 mol of this compound is equal to the gram formula mass 48 g.
Answer:
0.125 M
Explanation:
Initial volume = 300 mL
Final Volume = 300+300 = 600 mL
Initial Molarity = 0.25 M
Since the same amount of water is added to the sulfuric acid the molarity will be halved.
The above result can be elaborated by the following steps
So, the new Molarity is 0.125 M
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes the movement of tectonic plates. As the extremely hot molten material from the mantle rises toward the crust, it cools enough to become denser and sink back into the hotter area of the mantle.
