Answer:
neq N2O4 = 0.9795 mol.....P = 0.5 atm; T = 25°C
Explanation:
ni change eq.
N2O4 1 1 - x 0.8154.....P = 1 atm; T = 25°C
NO2 0 0 + x x
∴ x = neq = Peq.V / R.T.....ideal gas mix
if P = 0.5 atm, T = 25°C; assuming: V = 1 L
⇒ x = neq = ((0.5 atm)(1 L))/((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K))
⇒ x = neq = 0.0205 mol
⇒ neq N2O4 = 1 - x = 1 - 0.0205 = 0.9795 mol
Answer:
Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>
Explanation:
According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.
However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.
Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>
In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.
<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>
Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>
<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>
