What molecular geometry would be expected for BF3 and NH3?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Boron trifluoride would have a trigonal planar geometry.Ammonia would have a trigonal pyramidal geometry.

Explanation:

There are three valence electrons in a boron atom.

In boron trifluoride, the central boron atom did not achieve an octet with eight valence electrons. Rather, that boron atom would be electron deficient with only six valence electrons.

Each of the three fluoride atoms would have shared one valence electron with that boron atom, with a total of three boron-fluorine single bonds. On the other hand, all three of the valence electrons of that boron atom would be involved in bonding. Hence, there would be no extra valence electrons to act as lone pairs on that boron atom.

Hence, the central boron atom would have three electron domains (one for each boron-fluorine bond) with none of the electron domains coming from lone pairs. By the VSEPR theory, the geometry of the molecule would be trigonal planar. All four atoms in this molecule would be in the same plane.

There are five valence electrons in a nitrogen atom.

In ammonia, the central nitrogen atom is indeed able to achieve an octet (with eight valence electrons in total.) Three of the five valence electrons of nitrogen would form a total of three hydrogen-nitrogen bonds. The other two valence electrons would form a lone pair.

Hence the central nitrogen atom would have four electron domains (one for each of the three hydrogen-nitrogen bond, and one for the lone pair.) Hence, by the VSEPR theory, the geometry of this molecule would be trigonal pyramidal.

Which of the following statements are true of groups on the periodic table?

Check all that apply.

A. Elements in a group have the same number of protons.
B. Elements in a group have the same number of electron shells.
C. Elements in a group have similar properties.
D. Elements in a group have the same number of neutrons.

Answers

Answer: it’s only c

Explanation:

The correct statement regarding groups on the periodic table is statement C which is elements in a group have similar properties.

A. Elements in a group may have different numbers of protons, as the group represents elements with similar valence electron configurations, but the number of protons in the nucleus can vary.

B. Elements in a group do not have the same number of electron shells. Elements within the same group have similar outer electron configurations, which determine their chemical properties. The number of electron shells increases as you go down the group.

C. Elements in a group have similar properties. Elements within the same group share similar chemical behavior due to their similar outer electron configurations. This similarity leads to recurring patterns in their physical and chemical properties.

D. Elements in a group may have different numbers of neutrons. The number of neutrons can vary within a group as different isotopes of an element can exist, which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Therefore, the correct option is option c

One way to prove that air is made of matter is to blow up a balloon. Before you add air into the balloon, it is empty and shapeless. When you puff air into it, the balloon expands, so you know it is filled with something—air is taking up space. You'll also notice that a balloon filled with air sinks to the ground.

Molecular weight of carbon is equal to 12.011 g/mol

Two carbon atom produces one acetylene molecule.

Can someone please explain to me what a Ecologist does for a living? (Or daily in their career?)

Answers

ecologists look at relationships between nature, studying the interactions between humans, animal and plants.

Answer:

Ecologists focus on the relationship of organisms within their environment. Ecology is a branch of biology (biology is the study of life). Given the broad scope of ecology, there are multiple sub-disciplines that an ecologist can choose to focus on. Since all living things (plants, animals, microbes) depend on other living things and a healthy environment to survive, ecologists may specialize in one aspect of an ecosystem. Examples include terrestrial (land), aquatic (water), applied (concepts and principles of ecology), conversation (management of biodiversity), and evolutionary (evolution).

What would the [OH-] of a solution that has a pOH of 2.7 be?

Answers

Answer:

The [OH⁻] of a solution that has a pOH of 2.7 will be 2*10⁻³

Explanation:

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution.

pOH indicates the concentration of hydroxyl ions [OH-] present in a solution. In this way, pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of hydroxide ions, that is, the concentration of OH- ions:

pOH= -log [OH⁻]

In this case, pOH has a value of 2.7. Replacing:

2.7= -log [OH⁻]

and solving:

[OH⁻]=10⁻² ⁷

you get:

[OH⁻]≅ 2*10⁻³

The [OH⁻] of a solution that has a pOH of 2.7 will be 2*10⁻³

If you tested two samples of a particular pure substance, what would you find?

Answers

Answer:

The properties of a pure substance can be used to determine whether a sample is a pure substance or mixture because the characteristic properties of matter can be used to identify a sample. The result is a mixture called a composite.

Explanation:

Pure substances contains their own molecules only and not any  impurity. Thus, when we tested it  only shows the properties of its own.

What are pure substances?

Pure substances are substances containing its pure composition without any impurities. For example water, fruits, acids etc. are pure substances and they does not have a combination other substances.

Mixtures are the combination of two or more pure substances, and the can be heterogenous or homogenous. Whereas, pure substances homogenous only thus forming only one phase.

When we tested mixtures qualitatively, they shows the properties of each  individual components in it. Whereas, pure substances give inly its own characteristics.

How many mL of a 1.00 M HCl solution would need to be added to 100 mL of 0.263 M ammonia to produce a buffer with a pH of 10.00. The pKa of ammonia is 9.25.

Answers

Answer:

3.97mL of 1.00M HCl must be added

Explanation:

The buffer of ammonia and ammonium ion follows the equation:

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄⁺] (1)

Where pH is the pH we want to obtain: 10.00

pKa is the pKa of the buffer: 9.25

[NH₃] could be taken as moles of ammonia

And NH₄⁺ moles of ammonium ion

When NH₃ reacts with HCl:

NH₃ + HCl → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

NH₄⁺ is produced. That means moles of ammonia are Initial moles of ammonia - Moles of HCl added

Moles of HCl added = Moles of ammonium ion

The total moles of the buffer are:

0.100L * (0.263mol / L) = 0.0263moles = [NH₄⁺] + [NH₃] (2)

Rewriting (1):

10.00 = 9.25 + log [NH₃] / [NH₄⁺]

0.75 = log [NH₃] / [NH₄⁺]

Replacing (2) in (1):

0.75 = log 0.0263 -  [NH₄⁺] / [NH₄⁺]

5.6234 = 0.0263 -  [NH₄⁺] / [NH₄⁺]

5.6234[NH₄⁺] = 0.0263 - [NH₄⁺]

6.6234[NH₄⁺] = 0.0263

[NH₄⁺] = 0.00397 moles = Moles HCl

To obtain these moles we must add:

0.00397 moles HCl * (1L / mol) = 0.00397L =

3.97mL of 1.00M HCl must be added
