Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we look at SO3 we will notice that the compound is trigonal planar and it is symmetric. This means that it has equal charge distribution hence its dipoles cancel out resulting in a zero net dipole moment.

However, COH2 is also trigonal planar but is non-symmetric. Hence, its dipole moments do not cancel out, hence the molecule has a resultant dipole moment and is a polar molecule

Answer:

Final molarity of iodide ion C(I-) = 0.0143M

Explanation:

n = (m(FeI(2)))/(M(FeI(2))

Molar mass of FeI(3) = 55.85+(127 x 2) = 309.85g/mol

So n = 0.981/309.85 = 0.0031 mol

V(solution) = 150mL = 0.15L

C(AgNO3) = 35mM = 0.035M = 0.035m/L

n(AgNO3) = C(AgNO3) x V(solution)

= 0.035 x 0.15 = 0.00525 mol

(AgNO3) + FeI(3) = AgI(3) + FeNO3

So, n(FeI(3)) excess = 0.00525 - 0.0031 = 0.00215mol

C(I-) = C(FeI(3)) = [n(FeI(3)) excess]/ [V(solution)] = 0.00215/0.15 = 0.0143mol/L or 0.0143M

vampirchik [111]

Answer:A compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction, between the constituent elements

Explanation:

A compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction, between the constituent elements. The properties of compound are different from the properties of the elements from which it is formed. Ex. Compounds can be further divided into three classes : acids, bases and salts, on the basis of their properties.

What do you understand by shared pair of electron

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:Lone pairs are the valence electron pair of any element which do not take part in bonding but affect the shape of molecules. Bond pairs or shared pairs are the electron pair which does both affect the geometry of molecules and take part in chemical bonding. These are form due to sharing of electrons.
