Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
Each element is diffrent than another element
Answer:
17,890 J
Explanation:
The amount of heat released by a gaseous substance when it condenses is given by the formula
where
n is the number of moles of the substance
is the latent heat of vaporization
The formula can be applied if the substance is at its vaporization temperature.
In this problem, we have:
n = 0.440 mol is the number of moles of steam
is the latent heat of vaporization of water
And the steam is already at 100C, so we can apply the formula:
