Why do you think lone pairs of electrons create greater repulsion when located near other

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]2 years ago
5 0

When there are lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule, the bond angle is decreased.

The shape of molecules depend on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecules. These electron pairs could be lone pairs or bond pairs. Lone pairs occupy more space around the central atom since it is attracted to only one nucleus compared to bond pairs which are attracted to two nuclei.

When lone pairs are present on the central atom in a molecule, they tend to "squeeze" the molecule thereby decreasing the bond angle in the molecule. Hence, presence of one or more lone pairs of electrons make the bond angles get smaller.

Suppose that 100 grams of water at 50.0°C is placed in contact with 200 grams of iron at 30.0°C. The final
wel

Answer:

The answer would be 1.5 kJ.

Explanation:

When you use the equation q = m x c x ∆T you will be able to find the energy gained or lost. The data for the water in this case is just there to distract you so ignore it. :D

How can one kg of iron melt more ice than 1 kg lead at 100 °C
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Due to the specific heat capacity of iron, 0.444 J/(g·°C), is more than the specific heat capacity for lead, 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The metals provided to melt the ice and their temperature includes;

One kg (1000 g) of iron;

Specific heat capacity = 0.444 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

1 kg (1000 g) of lead

Specific heat capacity = 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

Therefore, the heat provided to the ice of mass m, and latent heat of 334 J/g at 0°C by the metals are as follows;

For iron, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{iron} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{iron} = 0.444 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 44400 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 44400 J

Mass of ice melted by the iron = 44400 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 132.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the iron ≈ 132.9 g

For lead, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{lead} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{lead} = 0.160 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 16000 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 16000 J

Mass of ice melted by the lead = 16000 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 47.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the lead ≈ 47.9 g

Therefore, mass of  ice melted by the iron, approximately 132.9 g, is more than mass of ice melted by the lead, approximately 47.9 g.
