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

Chemistry

Thepotemich [5.8K]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Concentrated hydrochloric acid, HCl, comes with an approximate molar concentration of 12.1 M. If you are instructed to prepare 3
Semmy [17]

Answer:

28.20 mL of the stock solution.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 12.1 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 350.0 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) = 0.975 M

Volume of stock solution needed (V1) =..?

The volume of stock solution needed can be obtained by using the dilution formula as shown below:

M1V1 = M2V2

12.1 x V1 = 0.975 x 350

Divide both side by 12.1

V1 = (0.975 x 350)/12.1

V1 = 28.20 mL.

Therefore, 28.20 mL of the stock solution will be needed to prepare 350.0 mL of 0.975 M HCl solution.

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10m. Make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume o
belka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can calculate the volume  of the oxygen molecule as the radius of oxygen molecule is given as 2×10⁻¹⁰m.

We know that volume=4/3×πr³

volume =4/3×π(2.0×10⁻¹⁰m)³

volume=33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

Volume of oxygen molecule=33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

we know the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

k=R/Na

R=k×Na

PV=n×k×Na×T

n×Na=N

PV=Nkt

p is pressure of gas

v is volume  of gas

T is temperature of gas

N is numbetr of molecules

Na is avagadros number

k is boltzmann constant =1.38×10⁻²³J/K

R is real gas constant

So to calculate pressure using the  formula;

PV=NkT

P=NkT/V

Since there is only one molecule of oxygen so N=1

P=[1×1.38×10⁻²³J/K×300]/[33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

p=12.39×10⁷Pascal

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.50. You already have a solution that contains 10 mmol (millimoles) of a
balandron [24]

Answer:

56.9 mmoles of acetate are required in this buffer

Explanation:

To solve this, we can think in the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH])

To make the buffer we know:

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄   CH₃COO⁻  +  H₃O⁺     Ka

We know that Ka from acetic acid is: 1.8×10⁻⁵

pKa = - log Ka

pKa = 4.74

We replace data:

5.5 = 4.74 + log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.5 - 4.74 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

0.755 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

10⁰'⁷⁵⁵ = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 . 10 = [acetate] → 56.9 mmoles

The value of Ka for nitrous acid (HNO2) at 25 ∘C is 4.5×10−4 .a. Write the chemical equation for the equilibrium that correspond
kvv77 [185]

Answers and Explanation:

a)- The chemical equation for the corresponden equilibrium of Ka1 is:

2. HNO2(aq)⇌H+(aq)+NO−2

Because Ka1 correspond to a dissociation equilibrium. Nitrous acid (HNO₂) losses a proton (H⁺) and gives the monovalent anion NO₂⁻.

b)- The relation between Ka and the free energy change (ΔG) is given by the following equation:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Where T is the temperature (T= 25ºc= 298 K) and R is the gases constant (8.314 J/K.mol)

At the equilibrium: ΔG=0 and Q= Ka. So, we can calculate ΔGº by introducing the value of Ka:

⇒ 0 = ΔGº + RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= - RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= -8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (4.5 10⁻⁴)

  ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol

c)- According to the previous demonstation, at equilibrium ΔG= 0.

d)- In a non-equilibrium condition, we have Q which is calculated with the concentrations of products and reactions in a non equilibrium state:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Q= ((H⁺) (NO₂⁻))/(HNO₂)

Q= ( (5.9 10⁻² M) x (6.7 10⁻⁴ M) ) / (0.21 M)

Q= 1.88 10⁻⁴

We know that   ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol, so:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

ΔG= 19092.8 J/mol + (8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (1.88 10⁻⁴)

ΔG= -2162.4 J/mol

Notice that ΔG<0, so the process is spontaneous in that direction.
