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.

Alla [95]

Answer:

  • CO₃²⁻ +  H₂O <---------------->  HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • The chemical formula of the precipitate is Fe(OH)₃

Explanation:

  • Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are strong electrolytes and completely dissociate in water. Carbonate ions is a weak base and combine with water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻), CO₃²⁻ +  H₂O <---------------->  HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • Ferric, Fe (III), combines with these hydroxide ions to form insoluble precipitates. Fe(OH)₃ is only partially soluble i.e., it does not completely dissociate in water. When the solutions of Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are mixed, Fe(OH)₃ precipitates out due to the strong electrostatic attraction between Fe (III) and hydroxide ions.

What is the relationship between the concentration and the rate of the reaction?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

When the concentration of all the reactants increases, more molecules or ions interact to form new compounds, and the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration of a reactant decreases, there are fewer of that molecule or ion present, and the rate of reaction decreases.

A sample of a gas at 25°C has a volume of 150 mL when its pressure is 0.947 atm. What will the temperature of the gas be at a pr
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

25°C

Explanation:

Combined Gas Law (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

(0.947 atm)(150 mL)/25°C = (0.987 atm)(144mL)/T₂

5.682 = 142.128/T₂

T₂ = 142.128/5.682

T₂ = 25.0137272756°C = 25°C
