Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?

Chemistry
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a  trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.

A hot lump of 39.9 g of iron at an initial temperature of 78.1 °C is placed in 50.0 mL H 2 O initially at 25.0 °C and allowed to
Drupady [299]

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is 29.6^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of iron = 0.499J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of iron = 39.9 g

m_2 = mass of water  = Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 50.0mL=50.0g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of iron = 78.1^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

(39.9g)\times (0.499J/g^oC)\times (T_f-78.1)^oC=-(50.0g)\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-25.0)^oC

T_f=29.6^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 29.6^oC

Calculate the standard entropy change for the following reactions at 25°C.
Art [367]

Answer:

(a) ΔSº = 216.10 J/K

(b) ΔSº = - 56.4 J/K

(c) ΔSº = 273.8 J/K

Explanation:

We know the standard entropy change for a given reaction is given by the sum of the entropies of the products minus the entropies of reactants.

First we need to find in an appropiate reference table the standard  molar entropies entropies, and then do the calculations.

(a)        C2H5OH(l)          +        3 O2(g)         ⇒        2 CO2(g)     +    3 H2O(g)

Sº            159.9                          205.2                         213.8                  188.8

(J/Kmol)

ΔSº = [ 2(213.8) + 3(188.8) ]   - [ 159.9  + 3(205.) ]  J/K

ΔSº = 216.10 J/K

(b)         CS2(l)               +         3 O2(g)               ⇒      CO2(g)      +      2 SO2(g)

Sº          151.0                              205.2                         213.8                 248.2

(J/Kmol)

ΔSº  = [ 213.8 + 2(248.2) ] - [ 151.0 + 3(205.2) ] J/K = - 56.4 J/K

(c)        2 C6H6(l)           +        15 O2(g)                     12 CO2(g)     +     6 H2O(g)

Sº           173.3                           205.2                           213.8                    188.8

(J/Kmol)  

ΔSº  = [ 12(213.8) + 6(188.8) ] - [ 2(173.3) + 15( 205.2) ] = 273.8 J/K

Whenever possible we should always verify if our answer makes sense. Note that the signs for the entropy change agree with the change in mol gas. For example in reaction (b) we are going from 4  total mol gas reactants to 3, so the entropy change will be negative.

Note we need to multiply the entropies of each substance by  its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.

Plz helpp<br>Which pH value indicates the solution with the highest concentration of hydronium ions​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Hydronium ion concentrations increase with decreasing pH values. So, the solutions with the lower pH values have the higher H₃O⁺ concentrations.
