What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between Cl and F in chlorine trifluoride, ClF3

Chemistry

Answer:

sp³d¹ hybridization

Explanation:

Given Cl as central element with three F substrates ...

The VSEPR structure indicates 5 hybrid orbitals that contain 2 diamagnetic orbitals (non-bonded e⁻-pairs) and 3 paramagnetic orbitals (single, non-paired electron for covalent bonding with fluorine) giving a trigonal bypyrimidal parent with a T-shaped geometry.

Valence bond theory predicts the following during bonding:

Cl:[Ne]3s²3p²p²p¹3d⁰

=> [Ne]3s²p²p¹p¹d¹

=> [Ne]3(sp³d)²(sp³d)²(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹

giving 3 ( [Cl](sp³d) - [F]2p¹ ) sigma bonds and 2 non-bonded pairs on Cl.

Note the following images:

Non-bonded electron pairs are in plane of parent geometry and Fluorides covalently bonded to central element Chloride forming the T-shaped geometry.

What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at STP?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

  • <em>The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is </em><u><em>11.2 liter.</em></u>

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

  •   Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

  •    After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1)  of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

<u>1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:</u>

  • n = mass in grams / molar mass
  • Atomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/mol
  • Nitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/mol
  • n = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

<u>2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:</u>

  • 22.4 liter / mol = x  / 0.500 mol
  • Solve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

<u>Conclusion:</u> the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.
