6. The central selenium atom in selenium hexafluo-

Chemistry
1 answer:
serg [7]2 years ago
5 0

Given what we know, we can confirm that when forming an expanded octet, selenium hexafluo ride will hold 6 pairs of shared electrons around its center selenium atom.

<h3>What is an expanded octet?</h3>
  • An expanded octet is when an atom can hold more than 8 valence electrons in its outer shell.
  • This is possible for those elements in period four of the periodic table.
  • Elements that are capable of this form what we call hypervalent compounds.

Therefore, given that during an expanded octet formation, the central atom is capable of holding more than 8 valence electrons in its outer shell, the central atom of a selenium hexafluo ride compound will have 12 electrons being shared, which results in 6 pairs, making C the correct answer.

Calculate [H3O+] and [OH−] for each of the following solutions at 25 ∘C given the pH. pH= 8.74, pH= 11.38, pH= 2.81
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters;

pH  = 8.74

pH = 11.38

pH = 2.81

Unknown:

concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion for each solution = ?

Solution

The pH of any solution is a convenient scale for measuring the hydrogen ion concentration of any solution.

It is graduated from 1 to 14

      pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

      pOH = -log[OH⁻]

 pH + pOH = 14

Now let us solve;

   pH = 8.74

             since  pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                           8.74 =  -log[H₃O⁺]

                           [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻^{8.74}

                             [H₃O⁺]  = 1.82 x 10⁻⁹mol dm³

       pH + pOH = 14

                 pOH = 14 - 8.74

                  pOH = 5.26

                  pOH = -log[OH⁻]

                     5.26  = -log[OH⁻]

                     [OH⁻] = 10^{-5.26}

                      [OH⁻] = 5.5 x 10⁻⁶mol dm³

2.  pH = 11.38

             since  pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                           11.38 =  -log[H₃O⁺]

                           [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻^{11.38}

                             [H₃O⁺]  = 4.17 x 10⁻¹² mol dm³

           pH + pOH = 14

                 pOH = 14 - 11.38

                  pOH = 2.62

                  pOH = -log[OH⁻]

                     2.62  = -log[OH⁻]

                     [OH⁻] = 10^{-2.62}

                      [OH⁻] =2.4 x 10⁻³mol dm³

3. pH = 2.81

             since  pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                           2.81 =  -log[H₃O⁺]

                           [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻^{2.81}

                             [H₃O⁺]  = 1.55 x 10⁻³ mol dm³

           pH + pOH = 14

                 pOH = 14 - 2.81

                  pOH = 11.19

                  pOH = -log[OH⁻]

                     11.19  = -log[OH⁻]

                     [OH⁻] = 10^{-11.19}

                      [OH⁻] =6.46 x 10⁻¹²mol dm³

What type of tree has thin, waxy needles that drop throughout the year and help to retain water?
grin007 [14]

Only coniferous trees have thin, waxy, needle-like leaves that drop throughout the year and help to retain water.

<h3>What are coniferous trees?</h3>

Coniferous trees are evergreen trees that produce cones.

In addition, they produce waxy and needle-like leaves that help them conserve water by limiting the evapotranspiration rate as a result of reduced surface area.

Examples of conifers include pine trees and spruces.
