A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy without itself being consumed by the reaction.
Answer : The structure of
will be square-planar.
Explanation :
In the given molecule
, 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.
The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons
The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons
There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.
The structure of
is shown below.

Answer: 7.98 grams of
are produced if 10.7 grams of
are reacted.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
.....(1)
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
The chemical equation for the reaction is
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of
produce = 1 mole of
So, 0.100 moles of
produce=
of
Mass of
=
Hence 7.98 grams of
are produced if 10.7 grams of
are reacted.
