Answer:

A

Explanation:

A formal charge (FC) is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity(Wikipedia).

The formal charge on an atom in a molecule reflects the electron count associated with the atom compared to the isolated neutral atom(University of Calgary).

Looking at all the structures listed A-E for SeO2F2, only structure A minimizes the formal charges for each atom in SeO2F2.

At an elevated temperature, Kp=4.2 x 10^-9 for the reaction 2HBr (g)---> +H2(g) + Br2 (g). If the initial partial pressures o
Damm [24]

Answer : The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation :

The partial pressure of HBr = 1.0\times 10^{-2}atm

The partial pressure of H_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

The partial pressure of Br_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

K_p=4.2\times 10^{-9}

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                                2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Initial pressure    1.0×10⁻²       2.0×10⁻⁴      2.0×10⁻⁴

At eqm.            (1.0×10⁻²-2p)   (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)  (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2})(p_{Br_2})}{(p_{HBr})^2}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

4.2\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)}{(1.0\times 10^{-2}-2p)^2}

p=-1.99\times 10^{-4}

The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Because the evidence was that she heard the crashing sound, and then when she came into her room saw the broken window and baseball.

It was not an observation because she did not directly see the baseball going through the window
