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.

What is Newton's first law of motion? How can you describe the effect of a vehicle restraint using Newton's first law of motion?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion, an object at rest will stay at rest, at a constant velocity, unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.  

Newtons First law of motion has to do with seat belts because think about it, what happens when we don't wear a seat belt and our vehicle comes to a quick stop. What happens to you? You move forward and stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts upon you. Now what is an unbalanced force? An unbalanced force is one that is not opposed by an equal and opposite force operating directly against the force intended to cause a change in the object's state of motion or rest. So, when you come to a stop, you wouldn't stop motion unless a force is caused to change your motion and put you at rest. If you were wearing a seat belt, the seat belt would act as the unbalanced force, it would stop you from being in motion.

2NaOH + H2SO4 --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide, a base, reacts with sulfuric acid to form sodium sulfate (complete neutralization) and water.  If you write the balanced equation, you will see that 2 moles of sodium hydroxide react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid to form 1 mole of sodium sulfate and 2 moles of water.  Therefore it would take .25 moles of sulfuric acid to react with .5 moles of sodium hydroxide.
