Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

Number of moles of camphor reacted= 1.6g/152.23 g/mol = 0.011 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1,  then 0.011 moles of isoborenol is also produced.

Theoretical yield of isoborenol produced = 154.25 g/mol * 0.011 moles = 1.698 g

% yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100

% yield =  1.062 g/1.698 g * 100

% yield =  62.5%

According to VSEPR theory , in which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons be arranged about the central atom in th
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.

Explanation:

The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.

In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.

In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.

In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.

A 25 gram(m) metal ball is heated to 200C(delta T) with 2330 Joules(q) of energy. What is the specific heat of the metal?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 \frac{J}{g*C}

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

  • Q= 2330 J
  • c= ?
  • m= 25 g
  • ΔT= 200 °C

Replacing:

2330 J= c*25 g* 200 °C

Solving:

c=\frac{2330 J}{25 g* 200 C}

c=0.466 \frac{J}{g*C}

<u><em>The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 </em></u>\frac{J}{g*C}<u><em></em></u>

Place the following covalent bonds in order from least to most polar: a. H-Cl b. H-Br c. H-S d. H-C
timofeeve [1]

Answer:


The Order is as follow,

                                     C-H < S-H < H-Br < H-Cl


Explanation:

                      Polarity depends on the electronegativity difference between two atoms, greater the electronegativity difference, greater will be the polarity of bond and vice versa.


Electronegativity Difference between Hydrogen and other given elements are as follow,


1) C-H;

               E.N of Carbon     = 2.55

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           ------------

               Difference              0.35


2) S-H;

               E.N of Sulfur       = 2.58

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           ------------

               Difference               0.38


3) H-Br;

               E.N of Bromine   = 2.96

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                          -------------

               Difference              0.76


4) H-Cl;

               E.N of Chlorine   = 3.16

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           -----------

               Difference               0.96


Hence it is proved that the greatest electronegativity difference is found between H and Chlorine in H-Cl, therefore it is highly polar bond and vice versa.
