Can anyone please explain how u draw the structures of phosphorus in Q1 part iii)

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A MOLECULE IS PLANAR OR NOT??? eg:for CO2, PCL5, ethane, ethene, NH3 (AS)




REPLY PLZ!

Trigonal planar is when there are 3 bonds and no lone pairs, like in AlCl3.

25: First one: cracking, requires high temperature
2nd and 3rd: Substitution reaction, require heat
So D remains

37: Y is CO dude

20: no other option is right

I am not sure if this is the right way to solve it, but I got the right answer with it so..

C6H12 + 9O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

So you have 6 moles of CO2 and 6 moles of H2O. P will absorb all of the mass of H2O, while Q will absorb of all of the mass of CO2. Their masses are 6(18) and 6(44) respectively, and the ratio will give you 18/44 = 0.41.

Thank u very much!!!

What are the bond angles in the PH3 molecule likely to be?
A) 90
B) 104
C) 109
D) 120

Question is Q7 from Winter 2004, http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w04_er.pdf

PH3 has 3 bonds and 1 lone pair, so I thought the bond angle would be 109. But the answer is 104, why is that?

Actually the right answer is 107 but as u can see there is no option with 107 so choose the option which is lower than that not higher!!

26....only secondary alcohols will give 1 oxidation product, i.e. ketone..
A. wrong coz its a primary alcohol (ths will gve aldehyde n a carboxylic acid)
B. its right cz 2ndry alcohol
C.not 2ndry thefr its wrong
D. its a tertiary alcohol..dsnt gve any products on oxidation

Why is the answer D? Not C?

Shouldnt Sulphur form SO2 on complete combustion? This looks like SO3 was formed in D?

q. 20 and 26

ANS D
cz an intrmediate is formed (in A n B no intermediate frmed) n since da first step is slow da products hav lower energy than da reactants..
n da second step is fast the reactants hav mre energy than da reactants!!!!

y cnt da answ b A..a stedy increase??

 

[Pals_1010]

Mg + (0.5)O2 -------> MgO (No of moles of Oxygen used 0.5)

Al + (0.75)O2 --------> (0.5)Al2O3 (No of moles used 0.75)

S + O2 --------> SO2 (No of moles used 1)

I think in A the scale on the vertical axis wouldnt be good. Any idea?

 

[Student12]

why does argon not form a chloride ?

bt its da sme i all...if u c da increase in mols..it increases by 0.25..so y cnt it b A??

ya answer is D, because there is formation of SO3 here
deduce reaction equation in each case and find number of moles of oxygen in each cases
you will probably find to be 0.5, 0.75 and 1.5

Yeah but how can SO3 be formed just by burning in excess oxygen?

cz it has a complete octet of electrons..(8 electrons in its outer shell)
