If there were an element above fluorine, its state would be a gas. This is because fluorine is located in the non-metal section of the periodic table which can all be found as a gas at room temperature.
so you can see those fluorine atoms have really spread out around the central phosphorus atom. this gives us a trigonal bi-pyramidal molecular geometry for pf5.
Answer:
The new volume of the gas is 32L
Explanation:
P1 = 16atm
V1 = 4L
P2 = atm
V2 = ?
According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided the temperature remains constant.
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2
V2 = (16 * 4) / 2
V2 = 64 / 2
V2 = 32L
The new volume of the gas is 32L
Answer :
(a) The overall equation is:
(b) The intermediates are :
Explanation :
<u>Part (a) :</u>
(1) 
(fast)
(2) 
(slow)
(3) 
(fast)
By adding the three equations and cancelling the common terms on both side, we will get the overall equation.
<u>Part (b) :</u>
Intermediates are generated and consumed in the mechanism and do not include in the overall equation.
Since, intermediates will not include in the overall mechanism.
The intermediates are :
