Because both tin and carbon are members of Group 4A(14), they form structurally similar compounds. However, tin exhibits a great

er variety of structures because it forms several ionic species. Predict the shape and ideal bond angle, including any deviations, for SnCl3−.

Nitella [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Elements in group fourteen are mostly known to form compounds in which there are four electron domains leading to a tetrahedral electron domain geometry.

However, the presence of lone pairs affects the shape of the molecule. SnCl3− has four electron domains, three of them are bond pairs while one is a lone pair. The shape of the molecule is based on a tetrahedron, however the observed geometry is trigonal pyramidal due to the presence of the lone pair. Its bond angle is now less than the predicted 109 degrees.

How much energy is added to change 180g of liquid water to gas at 100 degrees Celsius
Finger [1]

Answer:

40.7 kJ  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the heat, q, needed to evaporate a liquid is

q = mΔHvap


<em>Data:  </em>

        m = 180 g

ΔHvap = 2260 J/g

<em>Calculation: </em>

q = 180 g × 2260 /1

q = 40 700 J = 40.7 kJ

A sample of carbon dioxide at RTP is 0.50 dm3. How many grams of carbon dioxide do we have?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

0.924 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of CO2 at RTP = 0.50 dm³

Mass of CO2 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 that occupied 0.50 dm³ at RTP (room temperature and pressure). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of gas = 24 dm³ at RTP

Thus,

1 mole of CO2 occupies 24 dm³ at RTP.

Therefore, Xmol of CO2 will occupy 0.50 dm³ at RTP i.e

Xmol of CO2 = 0.5 /24

Xmol of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Thus, 0.021 mole of CO2 occupied 0.5 dm³ at RTP.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO2 as follow:

Mole of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2×16) = 13 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.021 = mass of CO2 /44

Cross multiply

Mass of CO2 = 0.021 × 44

Mass of CO2 = 0.924 g.

As part of a science experiment, Jose did a test for starch on a slice of apple and a slice of potato. The yellow-orange iodine
juin [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch.  A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.
