How many valence electrons are in chlorodifluoromethane

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elis [28]1 year ago

<span>Well... first, let's recognize that the chemical formula for chlorodifluoromethane is CHClF2. Count out how many valence electrons there are. C = 4, H = 1, Cl = 7, F (X2) = 14. Total is 26. Let's put C as the central atom, and put the other elements surrounding it. Draw a pair of electrons beach each element and the central atom. Then fill the halogen elements with 3 pairs of electrons each to fill their octets. Count out how many dots you have. There should be 26, making this the correct lewis structure! Remember, hydrogen doesn't have a full octet, only a maximum of two electrons.</span>

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

What is the advantage of having large vertebrae at the base of the vertebral column?
WINSTONCH [101]
The advantage of having large vertebrae at the base of the vertebral column is having stability in terms of the center of gravity of the animal. If the animal has a large vertebrae, then it has an excellent balance and strength.

Steam initially at 0.3 MPa, 2500 C is cooled at constant volume. (a) At what temperature will steam become saturated vapour? [12
Scilla [17]

Answer:

a. 123.9°C

b.

c.

Explanation:

Hello, I'm attaching a picture with the numerical development of this exercise.

a. Since the steam is overheated vapour, the specific volume is gotten from the corresponding table. Then, as it became a saturated vapour, we look for the interval in which the same volume of state 1 is, then we interpolate and get the temperature.

b. Now, at 80°C, since it is about a rigid tank (constant volume for every thermodynamic process), the specific volume of the mixture is 0.79645 m^3/kg as well, so the specific volume for the liquid and the vapour are taken into account to get the quality of 0.234.

c. Now,since this is an isocoric process, the heat transfer per kg of steam is computed as the difference in the internal energy, considering the initial condition (showed in a. part) and the final one computed here.

** The thermodynamic data were obtained from Cengel's thermodynamics book 7th edition.

Best regards.

Calculate the number of grams of xenon in 4.658 g of the compound xenon tetrafluoride.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The mass of xenon in the compound is 2.950 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of XeF4 = 4.658 grams

Molar mass of XeF4 = 207.28 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of XeF4

Moles XeF4 = mass XeF4 / molar mass XeF4

Moles XeF4 = 4.658 grams / 207.28 g/mol

Moles XeF4 = 0.02247 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of xenon

XeF4 → Xe + 4F-

For 1 mol xenon tetrafluoride, we have 1 mol of xenon

For 0.02247 moles XeF4 we have 0.02247 moles Xe

Step 4: Calculate mass of xenon

Mass xenon = moles xenon * molar mass xenon

Mass xenon = 0.02247 moles * 131.29 g/mol

Mass xenon = 2.950 grams

The mass of xenon in the compound is 2.950 grams
