<span>Xe = VIII = 8 valence electrons
F = VII = 4 (7 ve) = 28 valence electrons</span>

total ve = 8 + 28 = 36 ve

 

<span>36 - 4(2) = 28 ve
(there are 2 electrons in each bond x 4 bonds)</span>

 

<span>28 - 4(6) = 4 
(We assign the remaining electrons to F atoms)</span>

 

<span>4 - 2(2) = 0 
(Therefore 4 electrons left => we have 2 lone pairs)</span>

 

The steric number = No. of σ bonds + #lone pairs

= 4 σ bonds + 2 lone pairs = 6 => d²sp³ (6 hybrid orbitals)

 

<span>4 bonds + 2 lone pairs => square planar</span>

How many hydrogen atoms are in 105 g of water?
mel-nik [20]
Moles of water atoms = mass/molecular weight = 105/18 = 5.83 mol. Number of moles of hydrogen in water = 2 x moles of water = 11.66. Number of H atoms in water = moles of hydrogen x 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.019 x 10^24 ~ 7.02 x 10^24 atoms. Hope this helps.

When 12 grams of carbon react with 32 grams of oxygen, the compound carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) is formed. What is true ab
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Option C = 6 of carbon react with 16 g of oxygen.

Explanation:

In given question it is stated that 12 g  of carbon react with 32 g of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. The other combination option c is also true because in this, the quantity of both reactant is just half from the given quantity. Which means that if 100 % product is obtained from the 12 g of carbon and 32 g of oxygen then by taking the half amount of reactant the product will be half i.e 50% .

This combination is true because the ratio of both reactant are justified.

Carbon 12g + Oxygen 32g → carbon dioxide

           C : O     1  : 2.6

Option C:

Carbon ( 12/2 =6g ) + Oxygen (32/2 = 16g) → Carbon dioxide

           C : O     1  : 2.6

The Ksp of barium sulfate (BaSO4) is 1.1 × 10–10. What is the solubility concentration of sulfate ions in a saturated solution a
vlada-n [284]
Each mole of barium sulfate releases equal moles of barium ions and sulfate ions. Let the concentration of one substance be x. Thus: 
Ksp = [Ba⁺²][SO₄⁻²]
1.1 x 10⁻¹⁰ = (x)(x)
x = 1.05 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.
