What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 4 outer atoms and 1 lone pair on the central atom?

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory states that; the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule is the final determinant of shape of the molecule.

Based on this theory, the electron domain geometry of a molecule having 4 outer atoms and 1 lone pairs on the central atom should be based on a trigonal bipyramid. The molecular geometry of this molecule is see saw with a bond angle of <90 degrees(axial) and <120 degrees(equatorial).

the answer is 303.15 or 303

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
