The answer is d but can anyone explain why and if not don't answer

Why do the metals Co, Rh, and Lr form octahedral complexes (rather than tetrahedral or square planar complexes)? Hint: Look at t

algol13

Explanation:

Octahedral complexes will be favoured over tetrahedral ones because:

It is more favourable to form six bonds rather than four

The crystal field stabilisation energy is usually greater for octahedral than tetrahedral complexes.

The transition metals Co, Rh, Lr are in group 9 of d block and they have 3d, 4d, and 5d orbitals respectively

Determine the moles of H+ reacting with the metal based on the following experimental data. 10.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl solution is a

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Approximately $1.876 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol$ .

Explanation:

Convert both volumes to standard units (that is: liters.)

$10.00 \; \rm mL = 10.00 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 1.000 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm L$ .
$27.08 \; \rm mL = 27.08 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 2.708 \times 10^{-2}\; \rm L$ .

Number of moles of $\rm HCl$ initially present (in the $10.00\; \rm mL$ solution at $1.00\; \rm M$ .)

$n(\mathrm{HCl}, \, \text{initial}) = \displaystyle c \cdot V = 1.00\times 1.000 \times 10^{-2}= 1.000\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ .

Number of moles of $\rm NaOH$ from the titration:

$n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = c \cdot V = 0.30 \times 2.708 \times 10^{-2} = 8.124 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol$ .

$\rm NaOH$ neutralizes $\rm HCl$ at a $1:1$ ratio:

$\rm HCl + NaOH \to NaCl + H_2O$ .

Hence, $n(\mathrm{HCl},\, \text{leftover}) = n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 8.124 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol$ .

$\begin{aligned}&n(\mathrm{HCl},\, \text{consumed}) \\ =& n(\mathrm{HCl},\, \text{initial}) - n(\mathrm{HCl},\, \text{leftover}) \\ =& 1.000\times 10^{-2} - 8.124\times 10^{-3} \\ =& 1.876 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

What is the purpose of the subscripts, or small numbers, in a chemical formula?

dlinn [17]

Answer: To show the number of atoms present.

Explanation: As in CO² (Carbon dioxide), there is a small 2 next to the symbol "O" (oxygen) to explain that there are two oxygen atoms.

A student observes the combustion (burning) of propane (C3H8). Because of the heat and light it generates, the student concludes

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The student's conclusion is not correct

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. All reactions require there activation energy to be met before the reaction can proceed. When the temperature of a reaction is increased, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases; colliding more with each other, which makes them "surmount" the activation energy of the reaction faster as compared to a lower temperature.

In combustion, there is burning of an hydrocarbon (in this case propane) in excess oxygen. The burning assists in increasing the kinetic energy of the reactant particles which in turn easily surmounts the activation energy of the reaction by colliding (effective collision) more with oxygen. So, the reaction has an activation energy but the activation energy has been met and passed and hence the reaction is proceeding faster.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction is one of the ways of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction.

Classify the following processes as exothermic or endothermic: (d) a person running;

Sonja [21]

The process releases energy and consequently we classify it as exothermic. (d) a person running releases warmness as muscle mass paintings. therefore, the procedure is exothermic.

d) Exothermic, heat is released as a person runs and muscle groups perform work.

A chemical response or bodily exchange is exothermic if warmth is released by using the system into the environment. Because the surroundings are gaining heat from the system, the temperature of the surroundings increases. The sign of q for an exothermic procedure is -ve due to the fact the device is dropping heat.

Some other examples of exothermic reactions:

1)Snow Formation in Clouds.

2)Burning of a Candle.

3)Rusting of Iron.

4)Formation of Ion Pairs.

5)response of strong Acid and Water. etc...
