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

Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

The pressure of a 250 mL sample of gas is 105 kPa. What would be the pressure if the volume were increased to 375 ml?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 70 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

In order to find the pressure if the volume were increased to 375 ml we use Boyle's law

That's

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final pressure

P_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}  \\

From the question

P1 = 105 kPa = 105 , 000 Pa

V1 = 250 mL

V2 = 375 mL

So we have

P_2 =  \frac{105000 \times 250}{375}  =  \frac{26250000}{375}  \\  = 70000

We have the final answer as

<h3>70 kPa</h3>
