Answer:

The H—C—H bond angle in methane is the tetrahedral angle, 109.5°. This angle is obtained when all four pairs of outer electrons repel each other equally. The bond angles in water is less than 109.5° because of the stronger repulsion by their lone pairs of electrons.

Alla [95]

Answer:

  • CO₃²⁻ +  H₂O <---------------->  HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • The chemical formula of the precipitate is Fe(OH)₃

Explanation:

  • Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are strong electrolytes and completely dissociate in water. Carbonate ions is a weak base and combine with water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻), CO₃²⁻ +  H₂O <---------------->  HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻
  • Ferric, Fe (III), combines with these hydroxide ions to form insoluble precipitates. Fe(OH)₃ is only partially soluble i.e., it does not completely dissociate in water. When the solutions of Fe(NO₃)₃ and K₂CO₃ are mixed, Fe(OH)₃ precipitates out due to the strong electrostatic attraction between Fe (III) and hydroxide ions.
