How many lone pairs are on the central atom in GeH4?

1 answer:

7 0

It shouldn't have any lone pairs since it is a tetrahedral structure. Ge has 4 valence electrons. Each H has 1 valence electron. Therefore, each H valence electron will pair with each valence electron on Ge.

If you have 10 grams of Lithium Oxide what will the volume be? Show your work

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Volume occupied by 10 grams of Lithium Oxide at STP is 7.52 L

Explanation:

STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) : It is used while performing calculation on gases and provide standards of measurements while performing experiment.

According to IUPAC (International Union of Pure And applied Chemistry) , standard temperature is 273.15 K and Pressure is 100 kPa (0.9869 atm). At STP condition 1 mole of substance occupies 22.4 L volume .

Molar mass of Lithium Oxide = 29.8 g/mol

$Li_{2}O$ = 2(6.9) + 15.99 = 29.8
