The compound Rh(CO)(H)(PH3)2 forms cis and trans isomers. Use this information

Chemistry

The geometry of a complex is determined by the number of ligands that surround the central atom/ion. There are four ligands in the complex. The coordination number of the complex is 4. The oxidation number of Rh is zero. The preferred geometrical shape of this complex is square planar.

Complexes are formed when Lewis bases called ligands become attached to a central metal atom or ion. The coordination number of the complex refers to the number of ligands that surround the central metal atom/ion.

In this case, four ligands surround the central Rhodium atom in a zero oxidation state.

Since we were told that the compound exhibits cis/trans isomerism then it can not have a tetrahedral geometry. It must have a square planar geometry as tetrahedral complexes do not exhibit cis/trans isomerism.

The image of the  cis- and trans- geometrical isomers of the compound is attached to this answer.

Answer:

m_{H_2O}=39.0g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, is possible to infer that the thermal equilibrium is governed by the following relationship:

\Delta H_{iron}=-\Delta H_{H_2O}\\m_{iron}Cp_{iron}(T_{eq}-T_{iron})=-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O})

Thus, both iron's and water's heat capacities are: 0.444 and 4.18 J/g°C respectively, so one solves for the mass of water as shown below:

m_{H_2O}=\frac{m_{iron}Cp_{iron}(T_{eq}-T_{iron})}{-Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O}} \\\\m_{H_2O}=\frac{32.5g*0.444\frac{J}{g^0C}*(59.7-22.4)^0C}{-4.18\frac{J}{g^0C}*(59.7-63.0)^0C} \\\\m_{H_2O}=39.0g

Best regards.

Adding more than one equivalent of HCl to pent-1-yne will lead to which product:______.
Ket [755]

Answer:

c. 2,2-dichloropentane.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly draw the structure of the reactant, pent-1-yne:

CH\equiv C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2

Now, we infer the halogen is added to the carbon atom with the most carbon atoms next to it, in this case, carbon #2, in order to write the following product:

CH\equiv C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2+2HCl\rightarrow CH_3- CCl_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2

Whose name is 2,2-dichloropentane.

Regards!

True

Explanation:

Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.

  • After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
  • It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
  • After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
  • Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
  • This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.

Answer:

Both are chemical changes.

Explanation:

They are chemical changes because when when you melt the sugar to make caramel a new substance is formed. The same with cookies. You don't start out with cookies, you start out with dough. And then when you cook the dough a new substance is formed which is the cookies.
