Answer:
CCl4- tetrahedral bond angle 109°
PF3 - trigonal pyramidal bond angles less than 109°
OF2- Bent with bond angle much less than 109°
I3 - linear with bond angles = 180°
A molecule with two double bonds and no lone pairs - linear molecule with bond angle =180°
Explanation:
Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) helps us to predict the molecular shape, including bond angles around a central atom, of a molecule by examination of the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure. The VSEPR model assumes that electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement which tends to minimize repulsions between these electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The electrons in the valence shell of a central atom are either bonding pairs of electrons, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs. The electrostatic repulsion of these electrons is reduced when the various regions of high electron density assume positions as far apart from each other as possible.
Lone pairs and multiple bonds are known to cause more repulsion than single bonds and bond pairs. Hence the presence of lone pairs or multiple bonds tend to distort the molecular geometry geometry away from that predicted on the basis of VSEPR theory. For instance CCl4 is tetrahedral with no lone pair and four regions of electron density around the central atom. This is the expected geometry. However OF2 also has four regions of electron density but has a bent structure. The molecule has four regions of electron density but two of them are lone pairs causing more repulsion. Hence the observed bond angle is less than 109°.
Answer:
1. Exothermic.
2. -1598 kJ.
Explanation:
Hello!
1. In this case, according to the reaction, we can infer that 799 kJ of energy are evolved (given off, released) it means that the enthalpy of reaction is negative as the reactants have more energy than the products; which means this is an exothermic reaction.
2. Here, as we know that the enthalpy of reaction is -799 kJ/mol, we can compute the q-value as shown below, considering the reacted 2 moles of solid iron:
Which means that 1598 kJ of energy are evolved when 2 moles of solid iron react.
Best regards!
The pH level changed to 1.34 and the combination of the both made the mixture less acidic
the pH is 1.84, mixture had less acid and there is alot more water molecules in the mixture
the pH level is 2.13 ,, again less acidic and the water molecules has increased to 3,28 x10(25)
Answer:
Explanation:
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Chemical equation:
Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂
24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g
60.5 g = 97 g
The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.
Balanced chemical equation:
Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂
24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g
97 g = 97 g
this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The compound ClO2 has 19 valence electrons. ClO2 is a bent molecule with tetrahedral electron pair geometry but has two lone pairs of electrons. This is indicated by the presence of four electron pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom.
The molecule has an odd number of valence electrons, hence, it is generally regarded as a paramagnetic radical. None of the proposed Lewis structures for the molecule is satisfactory because none of them obeys the octet rule.
From the images attached, one can easily see that the electron dots around the oxygen and chlorine atoms does not satisfy the octet rule in all the resonance structures shown.
