The three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms of the molecule is molecular geometry. The molecule of sulphur dioxide is not linear in geometry. Thus, option D is correct.

<h3>What is linear geometry?</h3>

Linear geometry is a type of molecular geometry that portrays the straight molecules that have a bond at 180 degrees and includes the central atom bonded to another two atoms through single or double bonds.

Carbon dioxide exhibits linear geometry as central carbon has sp hybridization and bonded to oxygen making them linear. Similarly, beryllium in beryllium fluoride and mercury in mercuric chloride are arranged linearly with their other two atoms.

Therefore, option D. sulphur dioxide does not have linear pair geometry but rather is a bent structure.

Imagine a 15kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of this block.
SSSSS [86.1K]

The kinetic energy formula is;

  • KE=\frac{m.v^2}{2}

The variable m represents the mass. Its unit is kilogram. We are informed that the mass of the object is 15kg. The variable v represents the linear velocity. Its unit is meter per second. We are informed that the linear velocity of the object is 20m/s. Let's find the kinetic energy of the object by substituting these values in the formula.

  • KE=\frac{15kg.(20m/s)^2}{2}
  • 2.KE=15kg.400m^2/s^2
  • 2.KE=(6000)kgm^2/s^2
  • KE=(3000)kgm^2/s^2=3000J

Use water as an example to contrast the properties of a compound with the elements from which it is composed
ahrayia [7]
Properties of a compound is completely different from their elements.

Water is composed by hydrogen and oxygen.

For example, the boiling point of oxygen is - 183 °C and hydrogen is - 253 °C, meanwhile, water has a boiling point of 100°C

Another example is when you put a burning wooden splint into oxygen, it burns more brightly. Put it in hydrogen, you may hear a "pop" sound, or even explode when large amount of hydrogen. But if u put a burning splint in water, it goes off.

You determine the volume of your plastic bag (simulated human stomach) is 1.08 L. How many grams of NaHCO3 (s) are required to f
dsp73

Answer:

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 753.5 mmHg = 0.9914 atm

(1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = 1.08 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 24.5 °C= 297.65  K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.9914 atm)\times 1.08 L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 297.65K\\\\n=0.0438 mole

Percentage recovery of carbon dioxide gas =  49.4%

Actual moles of carbon dioxide formed: 49.4% of 0.0438 mole

\frac{49.4}{100}\times  0.0438 mol=0.02164 mol

2NaHCO_3\righarrow Na_2CO_3+H_2O+CO_2

According to reaction ,1 mol is obtained from 2 moles of sodium bicarbonate.

Then 0.02164 moles f carbon dioxide will be obtained from:

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.02164 mol=0.04328 mol

Mass of 0.04328 moles pf sodium bicarbonate:

0.04328 mol × 84 g/mol = 3.636 g

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

What volume of concentrated (10.2 M) HCl would be required to prepare 1.11 x 104 mL of 1.5 M HC1? Enter your answer in scientifi
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The required volume is 1.6 x 10³mL.

Explanation:

When we want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one, we can use the dilution rule to find out the required volume to dilute. This rule states:

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

where,

C₁ and V₁ are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution

C₂ and V₂ are the concentration and volume of the dilute solution

In this case, we want to find out V₁:

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

V_{1} = \frac{C_{2}.V_{2}}{C_{1}} = \frac{1.5M \times1.11.10^{4}mL }{10.2M} =1.6\times10^{3} mL
