Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.

a)

In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

b) In NH4NO3

N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.

c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.

d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

How many grams would 3.36 × 1023 molecules of copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4) weigh?
Semenov [28]
Molar mass ( CuSO₄) = 159.609 g/mol

159.609 g ----------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
         ? g ------------------ 3.36 x 10²³ molecules

mass = ( 3.36 x10²³) x 159.609 / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 5.36 x 10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 8.90 g 

hope this helps!

Which of the following gases will have the highest velocity at a given temperature?
gladu [14]

The velocity of the gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gass. Heavier molecules tend to travel slow compared to light molecules. Among these, He has the lowest molar mass of 4 g/mol hence this element has the greatest velocity among all molecules given.
