Answer:

Fe2+ (aq) + 2e -> Fe(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reaction:

Mg(s) + Fe2+ (aq) —>Mg2+ (aq) + Fe(s)

Magnesium loses its two valance electrons and oxidized while iron accept two electrons get reduced.

Magnesium is reducing agent while iron is oxidizing agent.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

How many grams of nitric acid HNO₃, are required to neutralize (completely react with) 4.30 grams of Ca(OH)2 according to the ac

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

7.32g of HNO3 are required.

Explanation:

1st) From the balanced reaction we know that 2 moles of HNO3 react with 1 mole of Ca(OH)2 to produce 2 moles of H2O and 1 mole of Ca(NO3)2.

From this, we find that the relation between HNO3 and Ca(OH)2 is that 2 moles of HNO3 react with 1 mole of Ca(OH)2.

2nd) This is the order of the relations that we have to use in the equation to calculate the grams of nitric acid:

• starting with the 4.30 grams of Ca(OH)2.

• using the molar mass of Ca(OH)2 (74g/mol).

• relation of the 2 moles of HNO3 that react with 1 mole of Ca(OH)2 .

• using the molar mass of HNO3 (63.02g/mol).

$4.30g\text{ Ca\lparen OH\rparen}_2*\frac{1\text{ mol Ca\lparen OH\rparen}_2}{74g\text{ Ca\lparen OH\rparen}_2}*\frac{2\text{ moles HNO}_3}{1\text{ mole Ca\lparen OH\rparen}_2}*\frac{63.02g\text{ HNO}_3}{1\text{ mole HNO}_3}=7.32g\text{ HNO}_3$

So, 7.32g of HNO3 are required.

SeF6 1. Lewis Structure 2. Perspective drawing 3. Number of atoms bonded to central atom 4. Number of non-bonding electron pairs

Anarel [89]

The answer is- $SF_{6}$ is octahedral in electronic and molecular geometry with 6 Fluorine atoms bonded to central atom S.

Lewis structures are the diagrams in which the valence electrons of the atoms of a compound are arranged around the atoms showing the bonding between the atom and the lone pair of electrons existing in the molecule.

Determine the molecular geometry of $SF_{6}$ .

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory is commonly known as VSEPR theory and it helps to predict the geometry of molecules.
According to this theory, electrons are arranged around the central atom of the molecule in such a way that there is minimum electrostatic repulsion between these electrons.
Now, calculate the total number of valence electrons in $SF_{6}$ .

$Valence\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6}= Valence\ electrons\ in\ S +\ 6(Valence\ electrons\ in\ F)$

Valence electrons of S = 6

Valence electrons of F = 7

Thus, the valence electrons in $SF_{6}$ are-

$Valence\ number\ of\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6} = (6) + 6(7) = 48\ electrons.$

The Lewis structure of $SF_{6}$ is - (Image attached).
In the structure, the number of atoms bonded to central atom (S) = 6.
Number of non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom = 0 (as all the valence electrons are bonded to F).
Electronic geometry in case of 6 bond pairs is octahedral.
Molecular geometry us also octahedral with bond angles 90°.
Central atom is sp3d2 hybridised.
$SF_{6}$ is a non-polar molecule.
