This year course engages students in becoming skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and
rhetorical contexts and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. More immediately, the course
prepares the students to perform satisfactorily on the A.P. Examination in Language and Composition given in the spring.
Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience
expectations, and subjects as well as the way generic conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness
in writing. Students will learn and practice the expository, analytical, and argumentative writing that forms the basis of
academic and professional writing; they will learn to read complex texts with understanding and to write prose of
sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers. Readings will be selected primarily,
but not exclusively, from American writers. Students who enroll in the class will take the AP examination.
Answer:
Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
Explanation:
The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.
The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.
VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.
We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.
The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).
Answer:
C) 0.121 M
Explanation:
HCl + H₂O = H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
.121M .121M
HCl is a strong acid . It will dissociate almost 100 % so the concentration of acid and hydronium ion formed will be equal . It is to be noted that hydronium ion is formed due to association of H⁺ and H₂O . H⁺ is formed due to ionisation of HCl .
So concentrtion of hydronium ion ( H₃O⁺ ) will be .121 M.
Answer: when the temperature is increased, the number of collisions per second increases.
Explanation:
the rate of collisions and the temperature is directly proportional. If the energy of the gas particles is boosted by using the temperature, the chances of the particles bumping into each other due to the high energy increases, thus increasing the number of collisions. This also increases the rate of reaction. Thus when temperature is increased the number of collisions also increases.
The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:
3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂
This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.
<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>
425.0 mL x 
x 
x 
x 
= 5.52 g
So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.
