Answer is: Benzene is trigonal (or triangular) planar.
VSEPR theory (The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) uses the AXE notation (m and n are integers, m + n = number of regions of electron density).
For benzene molecule (C₆H₆):
m = 3; the number of atoms bonded to the central atom.
n = 0; the number of lone pairs on the central atom.
Answer:2
Explanation:
Ba(OH)2 contains two oxygen atoms
BaSO4 contains four oxygen atoms.
This means that barium sulphate contains two more oxygen atoms than barium hydroxide in its formula. This is clearly seen from the two formulae shown above.
Answer: intermolecular forces are described as forces that either cause attraction or repulsion between neighbouring particles or molecules
Explanation: liquids with strong intermolecular forces has the following properties:
1.) High boiling point
2.) high surface tension
3.) Low viscosity
4.) Low vapour pressure
While liquids with weak intermolecular forces has the following properties:
1.) Low boiling point
2.)low surface tension
3.) High viscosity
4.) High vapour pressure.
Answer:
Part A
K = (K₂)²
K = (K₃)⁻²
Part B
K = √(Ka/Kb)
Explanation:
Part A
The parent reaction is
2Al(s) + 3Br₂(l) ⇌ 2AlBr₃(s)
The equilibrium constant is given as
K = [AlBr₃]²/[Al]²[Br₂]³
2) Al(s) + (3/2) Br₂(l) ⇌ AlBr₃(s)
K₂ = [AlBr₃]/[Al][Br₂]¹•⁵
It is evident that
K = (K₂)²
3) AlBr₃(s) ⇌ Al(s) + 3/2 Br₂(l)
K₃ = [Al][Br₂]¹•⁵/[AlBr₃]
K = (K₃)⁻²
Part B
Parent reaction
S(s) + O₂(g) ⇌ SO₂(g)
K = [SO₂]/[S][O₂]
a) 2S(s) + 3O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g)
Ka = [SO₃]²/[S]²[O₂]³
[SO₃]² = Ka × [S]²[O₂]³
b) 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2 SO₃(g)
Kb = [SO₃]²/[SO₂]²[O₂]
[SO₃]² = Kb × [SO₂]²[O₂]
[SO₃]² = [SO₃]²
Hence,
Ka × [S]²[O₂]³ = Kb × [SO₂]²[O₂]
(Ka/Kb) = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[S]²[O₂]³
(Ka/Kb) = [SO₂]²/[S]²[O₂]²
(Ka/Kb) = {[SO₂]/[S][O₂]}²
Recall
K = [SO₂]/[S][O₂]
Hence,
(Ka/Kb) = K²
K = √(Ka/Kb)
Hope this Helps!!!
