Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a  trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.

A 0.85% saline solution is: a.8.5 mL of saline added to 91.5 mL of water b.85 g of NaCl made up to 1,000 mL of water c.0.85 g NaCl made up to 100 mL of water d.8.5 g NaCl in 100 mL of water

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

A 0.85% saline solution would consist of 0.85 g NaCl made up to 100 mL of water.

A 0.85% saline solution contains 0.85% by weight of NaCl. Hence, in order to prepare such a solution, 0.85 g of NaCl is weighed out into a beaker or cylinder and distilled water is added up to the 100 mL mark. On the other hand, 8.5 g of the NaCl can be weighed out and then distilled water added to 1000 mL mark.

The correct option is, therefore, c.

The initial temperature of a bomb calorimeter is 28.50°C. When a chemist carries out a reaction in this calorimeter, its temperature decreases to 27.45°C. If the calorimeter has a mass of 1.400 kg and a specific heat of 3.52 J/(gi°C), how much heat is absorbed by the reaction?
Use q equals m C subscript p Delta T..
140 J
418 J
1,470 J
5,170 J

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 5,170 J

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the reaction (Qr) is equal to the heat released by the calorimeter (Qcal):

Qr = - Qcal

We calculate Qcal from the mass of the calorimeter (m), the specific heat (Cp), and the change in temperature (ΔT), as follows::

Qcal = m x Cp x ΔT

We have the following data:

m = 1.400 kg x 1000 g/1 kg = 1,400 g

Cp = 3.52 J/g°C

Initial T = 28.50°C + 273 = 301.50 K

Final T = 27.45°C + 273 = 300.45 K

ΔT = Final T - Initial T = 300.45 K - 301.50 K = -1.05 K

So, we introduce the data in the mathematical expression for Qcal:

Qcal = m x Cp x ΔT = 1,400 g x 3.52 J/g°C x (-1.05 K) = -5,174.4 J ≅ -5,170 J

Therefore, the heat absorbed by the reaction is:

Qr = - Qcal = -(-5,170 J) = 5,170 J

Which statement is true of all chemical reactions? They can go in just one direction. They can go in just one direction. They occur only in science labs. They occur only in science labs. They break and reform bonds. They break and reform bonds. They create new elements.

Answers

Answer:

They break and reform bonds

Explanation:

Chemical reactions basically refer to the transformation of a substance (reactant) to another substance (products).

So we have;

Reactant --> Product

They can go in just one direction.

This option is wrong, because there are reversible reactions which can go in both directions. That is reactants reactants to form products and products react to form reactants.

They occur only in science labs.

This is wrong because chemical reactions occur in our day to day activities. An example is rusting.

They break and reform bonds.

This option is correct. There is breaking of bonds in the reactants and forming of new bonds in the products.

They create new elements

Atoms or elements are not created nor destroyed in chemical reactions so this option is wrong.

. Now Sara comes along, and she is the exact same size as you. However, she is even stronger than you are! When she pulls you in the wagon, she pulls with a greater force than when you pull her. Now who is in the wagon when it has the greatest acceleration? Explain, using Newton's second law. Sara would win because she is stronger but we have the same force.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the impressed force.

Mathematically;

Ft = mv - mu

Where;

F = Force

t = time

m= mass

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Since the mass is the same, the equation reduces to;

Ft = m(v-u)

So

F=  m(v-u)/t

but

(v-u)/t = acceleration (a)

F = ma

a = F/m

Since the mass is the same because Sarah is the same size as i am but she pulls with a greater force, it follows that i will be the one in the wagon when the wagon has the greatest acceleration because the force that Sarah applies when pulling me is greater than the force i will apply when pulling her.

One isotope of a nonmetallic element has mass num- ber 127 and 74 neutrons in the nucleus. The anion derived from the isotope has 54 electrons. Write the symbol for this anion.

Answers

Answer:

I⁻

Explanation:

The identity of the element is obtained when the proton number is known.

Mass Number = 127

Neutrons = 74

Number of protons is obtained from;

Protons = Mass Number - Number of Neutrons

Protons = 127 - 74 = 53

The element is Iodine and it's symbol is I.

However, The anion derived from the isotope has 54 electrons

A neutral Iodine should have 53 electrons. This means it has gained a single electron. The symbol is now written as;

I⁻

↓ 500 N  represents the net force as the force is acting in downward direction.

What is force?

Force is defined as a cause which is capable of changing the motion of an object. It can cause an object which has mass to change it's velocity. It is also simply a push or a pull . It has both magnitude as well as direction.Hence, it is a vector quantity.

It has SI units of Newton and is represented by'F'.Newton's second law states that force which acts on an object is equal to momentum which changes with time. If mass of object is constant, acceleration is directly proportional to net force acting on an object.

The concepts which related to force are thrust and torque .Thrust increases the velocity of an object and torque produces change in rotational speed of an object.

What is the volume of 2 moles of He at STP?

Answers

Answer:

STP conditions imply a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 100 kPa. When tose conditions are met, 1 mole of any ideal gas will have a volume of 22.7 L. So, if 1 mole occupies a volume of 22.7 L, 2 moles will occupy a volume twice as big. Likewise, 0.5 moles will occupy half the volume 1 mole occupies. Assuming that the gas is at standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L . This means the number of moles of O2 is 222.4=0.089 mol .

Explanation:

(0)A mixture of dihydrogen and dioxygen at one bar pressure contains 70% by weight of dioxygen. Calculate the partial pressure of dioxygen.

a (ii)Calculate the volume occupied by 8.8 g of CO2 at 31.1°C and 1 bar pressure. R = 0.083 bar L K-1 mol-1


Answers

Answer:

a) 0.13 bar

b) 5.05 L

Explanation:

Let us take the mass of the mixture to be 100 g. Hence, 70% by weight of dioxygen corresponds to 70 g

Mass of dihydrogen = 100g - 70 g = 30g

Number of moles of dioxygen = 70g/32 g/mol = 2.2 moles of dioxygen

Number of moles of dihydrogen = 30g/2g/mol = 15 moles of dihydrogen

Total number of moles = 2.2 + 15 = 17.2 moles

Mole fraction of dioxygen = 2.2/17.2 = 0.13

Partial pressure = mole fraction * total pressure

Partial pressure of dioxygen = 0.13 * 1 = 0.13 bar

ii) number of moles in 8.8 g of CO2 = 8.8g/44g/mol = 0.2 moles

T = 31.1 + 273 = 304.1 K

P = 1 bar

V= ?

R = 0.083 bar L K-1 mol-1

From

PV=nRT

V = nRT/P

V= 0.2 * 0.083 * 304.1/1

V= 5.05 L

When introduced to hot water, sodium and potassium metals react violently to form a colourless solution and hydrogen gas. The metal becomes spontaneously ignited and burns with its characteristic flame colour.

Magnesium burns with a bright white flame to yield solid magnesium oxide

and hydrogen gas when steam is passed over heated magnesium.

The last question is not clear but I believe that it has to do with reaction of sodium and iron with water. Sodium reacts violently with cold water at room temperature to evolve hydrogen gas and aqueous sodium hydroxide.

Iron reacts with steam at red heat to yield hydrogen gas and Fe3O4
