It’s oxidation number is +6
Answer:
A. endothermic.
A. Yes, absorbed.
Explanation:
Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.
2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = 182 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.
182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:
Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
The asthenosphere is directly below the lithosphere so the answer to your question is the asthenosphere, because the outer core is towards the center of Earth.
