Explain the geometry of PCl5 molecule and account for its high reactivity

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

In PCl5, in addition to equitorial bonds which lie in the same plane ,there are axial bonds. Since it suffers more repulsion it is longer than the other bonds. Also these are weak bondsand therefore these bonds can break easily . Because of these reasons,PCl5 is very reactive.

A compound is 70.0% iron and 30.0% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 479.1 g/mol. Determine the
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Fe_6O_9

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about formulas, firstly require the determination of the empirical formula, assuming that the given percentages are masses, we can calculate the moles and mole ratio of oxygen to iron as shown below:

n_{Fe}=70/55.85=1.25\\\\n_O=30/16=1.875

In such a way, by rounding to the first whole number we multiply by 8 and divide by 5 to obtain:

Fe_{2}O_{3}

Whose molar mass is 159.69 g/mol and the mole ratio of the molecular to the empirical formula is:

479.1/159.69=3

Therefore, the molecular formulais:

Fe_6O_9

Regards!

Which argument best explains the charge of an atomic nucleus?
xeze [42]
The answer is "<span>An atomic nucleus is positively charged because it is composed of protons". An atomic nucleus actually contains nucleons which are made up of both protons and neutrons. Since neutrons are neutral or have no charge, the charge of an atomic nucleus mainly relies on the positive charge of the protons.</span>
