The molecular geometry is square planar.

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR), the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of valence electrons surrounding the outermost shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In this case, the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory is octahedral. However, the lone pairs on opposite sides of the four single bonds leads to a square planar molecular geometry.

Calculate the pHpH of a 0.10 MM solution of barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)2Ba(OH)2. Express your answer numerically using two decimal
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

13.301

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of the solution, we must obtain the pOH of the solution as illustrated below:

The dissociation equation is given below

Ba(OH)2 <==> Ba^2+ + 2OH^-

Since Ba(OH)2 dissociate to produce 2moles of OH^-, the concentration of OH^- = 2x0.1 = 0.2M

pOH = - Log[OH^-]

pOH = - Log 0.2

pOH = 0.699

But

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 — pOH

pH = 14 — 0.699

pH = 13.301

Reil [10]
The heat transfer formula is;
Q = m * c * Δ T >>>> (1)
where, Q is the heat transfer
m = mass  (gram)
c = the specific heat capacity (J/g)
Δ T = change in temperature
∵ we have one mole of Ethanol
∴ the weight of ethanol equals its molecular weight = (2*12)+(6*1)+(16) = 46 g
we will assume that the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g (from google) 
ΔT = 25 - 320 = - 295 C
By substitution in (1)
∴ Q = 2.46 * 46 * (-295) = - 33382.2 J
