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.

One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silv
babunello [35]

Answer:

5.0x10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete, however this is the data that has been found in a web search:

" One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose a EPA chemist tests a 250 mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this:

NiCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ →  2AgCl + Ni(NO₃)₂

The chemist adds 50 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 3.6 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

Keep in mind that while the process is the same, if the values in your question are different, then your answer will be different as well.

First we <u>calculate the moles of nickel chloride found in the 250 mL sample</u>:

  • 3.6 mg AgCl ÷ 143.32 mg/mmol * \frac{1mmolNiCl_{2}}{2mmolAgCl} = 0.0126 mmol NiCl₂

Now we <u>divide the moles by the volume to calculate the molarity</u>:

  • 0.0126 mmol / 250 mL = 5.0x10⁻⁵M

Consider the following reaction: 4Fe + 302 → 2Fe2O3. What mass of iron(III) oxide would
frutty [35]

Answer:

Mass = 357.7 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Fe =  250 g

Mass of oxygen = 120 g

Mass of iron(III) oxide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Fe + 3O₂        →     2Fe₂O₃

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 250 g/ 55.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 4.48 mol

Number of moles of O₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 120 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactants with product.

        Fe          :          Fe₂O₃

        4            :             2

      4.48         :        2/4×4.48 = 2.24

        O₂          :          Fe₂O₃

        3            :             2

      3.75         :        2/3×3.75= 2.5

Less number of moles of Fe₂O₃ are produced by Fe thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of Fe₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.24 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 357.7 g

If a liter of water is cooled from 50 to 30 what happens to its volume
dangina [55]
In general when you heat up a liquid such as water its volume "increases" as the heat energy causes the water molecules to move leading to more space between molecules causing it to occupy a larger volume.

hope that helps
