When three pairs of electrons are shared in a molecule, what shape will the molecule be?

djyliett [7]

The correct answer is B. The shape of a molecule where three pairs of electrons are shared is a trigonal planar. This is characterized by one central atom and three atoms forming an equilateral triangle which is bonded to the central atom.

Consider the reaction of NO and CO to form N2 and CO2, according to the balanced equation: 2 NO (g) + 2 CO (g) → N2 (g) + 2 CO2

Gekata [30.6K]

The image is not given in the question, it is attached below:

<u>Answer:</u> The excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the given image:

Red spheres represent oxygen atoms, blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms and black spheres represent carbon atoms

The combination of 1 black and 2 red spheres will represent carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ compound

The combination of 2 blue spheres will represent nitrogen molecule $(N_2)$

The combination of 1 blue and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide $(NO)$ compound

The combination of 1 black and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide $(NO)$ compound

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

We are given:

Given moles of NO = 6 moles

Given moles of CO = 4 moles

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of CO reacts with 2 moles of NO

So, 4 moles of CO will react with = $\frac{2}{2}\times 4=4mol$ of NO

As the given amount of NO is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, CO is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Hence, the excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

Determining the composition of stars is one way that light emission has been used to determine the chemical composition of an ob

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

These instrument works on the analysis of the emisson spectral of light received from the star in this way.

Think of a steel knife in your kitchen. Initially, it has this shiny silver colour that typifies it. When the knife is placed on a hot plate, it becomes hotter and begins to go red as the heating continues. If we stop the heating and pour cold water on it, the red dissapears and our knife is back to itself, although the silvery shine would be lost. This is simply how the atomic absorption spectroscopy works. When you see the hot knife you can say a couple of things about it. Different metals have their various melting point. We can compare the temperature at which our knife will melt with a standard melting point scale to know the type of metal it is made of.

In atomic absorption spectroscopy, an atom gains energy and it becomes excited. Every atom is known to have a peculair amount of absorbant energy that cause them to excite. The more the particles in the atom, the more the energy required. When we analyse the absorbent energy of the atom, it differs from other atoms and we truly identify such an atom even if we don't know it. Most times, the energy is given off as light.
