Answer:- Na = 27.37%, H = 1.20%, C = 14.30% and O = 57.14%
Solution:- For the percentage composition of a compound, the atomic mass of each atoms times its subscript is divided by the molar mass of the compound and multiplied by 100.
The given compound is .
mass of Na = 22.99 g
mass of H = 1.008 g
mass of C = 12.01 g
mass of O = 3(16) = 48 g
Molar mass of compound = 22.99 g + 1.008 g + 12.01 g + 48 g = 84.008 g
percentage of Na =
= 27.37%
percentage of H =
= 1.20%
percentage of C =
= 14.30%
percentage of O =
= 57.14%
Using the VSPER theory, the effect of lone pairs on molecular shape can be discussed.
There are 3 types of electron pairs present in a molecular shape: bond pair -bond pair, lone pair - bond pair, lone pair - lone pair.
Strength of repulsions between these three types of pair follows the order:
lone pair- lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair
Whenever there is an addition of lone pairs to the geometry, some distortions take place which decreases the bond angles and some asymmetry is attained in the original molecular shape.
