Answer:

linear

Explanation:

The shape of a molecule is derived from the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR). According to the theory, the number electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape. This is because, electron pairs in a molecule orient themselves are far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsions between electron pairs. Lone pairs cause more repulsion than bond pairs.

For a molecule XY2 having two bond pairs and no lone pair, the two bond pairs will orient themselves at an angle of 180° from each other, that is, along a straight line. Hence the three dimensional representation of the molecule molecule is linear.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.

Explanation:

Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.

1. Suppose 0.7542 g of magnesium reacts with excess oxygen to form magnesium oxide as the only product, what would be the theore
Alina [70]

Answer :

(1) The theoretical yield of product, MgO is, 1.257 grams.

(2) The percent yield of MgO is, 64.13 %

(3) If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Mg = 0.7542 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mole

Molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Mg.

\text{ Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Mg}{\text{ Molar mass of }Mg}=\frac{0.7542g}{24g/mole}=0.03142moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of MgO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Mg react to give 2 mole of MgO

So, 0.03142 moles of Mg react to give 0.03142 moles of MgO

Now we have to calculate the mass of MgO

\text{ Mass of }MgO=\text{ Moles of }MgO\times \text{ Molar mass of }MgO

\text{ Mass of }MgO=(0.03142moles)\times (40g/mole)=1.257g

Theoretical yield of MgO = 1.257 g

Experimental yield of MgO = 0.8922 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of MgO

\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }MgO}{\text{ Theretical yield of }MgO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{0.8922g}{1.257g}\times 100=70.97\%

Therefore, the percent yield of MgO is, 70.97 %

If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then the product would be greater than 1.257 g which indicates that there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes
insens350 [35]

0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:

Given:

mass (m)  = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg

Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules

Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K

cp (specific heat capacity) = ?

the formula used for heat absorbed  and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:

q = mc Δ T

c = \frac{q}{mΔ T}

c = \frac{355}{63.5X 268.59}

 = 0.208 J/gm K

specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K

The specific heat capacity is defined as  the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

What mass (g) of barium iodide is contained in 188 ml of a barium iodide solution that has an iodide ion concentration of 0.532m
Katarina [22]

Answer:

What mass (g) of barium iodide is contained in 188 mL of a barium iodide solution that has an iodide ion concentration of 0.532 M?

A) 19.6

B) 39.1

C) 19,600

D) 39,100

E) 276

The correct answer to the question is

B) 39.1  grams

Explanation:

To solve the question

The molarity ratio is given by

188 ml of 0.532 M solution of iodide.

Therefore we have number of moles = 0.188 × 0.532 M = 0.100016 Moles

To find the mass, we note that the Number of moles = \frac{Mass}{Molar Mass} from which we have

Mass = Number of moles × molar mass

Where the molar mass of Barium Iodide = 391.136 g/mol

= 0.100016 moles ×391.136 g/mol = 39.12 g

HA and HB are two strong monobasic acids. 25.0cm3 of 6.0mol/dm3 HA is mixed with 45.0cm3 of 3.0mol/dm3 HB.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The H+ (aq) concentration of the resulting solution is 4.1 mol/dm³

(Option C)

Explanation:

Given;

concentration of HA, C_A = 6.0mol/dm³

volume of HA, V_A  = 25.0cm³, = 0.025dm³

Concentration of HB, C_B = 3.0mol/dm³

volume of HB, V_B = 45.0cm³ = 0.045dm³

To determine the H+ (aq) concentration in mol/dm³ in the resulting solution, we apply concentration formula;

C_iVi = C_fV_f

where;

C_i is initial concentration

V_i is initial volume

C_f is final concentration of the solution

V_f is final volume of the solution

C_iV_i = C_fV_f\\\\Based \ on \ this\ question, we \ can \ apply\ the \ formula\ as;\\\\C_A_iV_A_i + C_B_iV_B_i = C_fV_f\\\\C_A_iV_A_i + C_B_iV_B_i = C_f(V_A_i\ +V_B_i)\\\\6*0.025 \ + 3*0.045 = C_f(0.025 + 0.045)\\\\0.285 = C_f(0.07)\\\\C_f = \frac{0.285}{0.07} = 4.07 = 4.1 \ mol/dm^3

Therefore, the H+ (aq) concentration of the resulting solution is 4.1 mol/dm³
