Answer is: It is likely a gas or liquid at room temperature.  

Carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane (CCl₄) is an organic compound with nonpolar covalent chemical bonds.

1) Carbon tetrachloride is a colourless liquid, used in fire extinguishers.

2) Because it is nonpolar, it is not soluble in polar water.

3) It can not conduct electricity because it is nonpolar compound.

4) Melting point is low -23°C.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As both carbon and chlorine are non-metals. Therefore, both of them tend to share their valence electrons in order to attain stability.

Therefore, CCl_{4} is a covalent compound. This is because a compound formed by sharing of electrons by the combining atoms is known as a covalent compound.

And, covalent compounds are brittle in nature due to weak bonding between the combining atoms.

Hence, CCl_{4} will most most likely be a gas or liquid at room temperature and not a solid.

It will also have low melting point and it will not be able to conduct heat and electricity as it is covalent in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that it is likely a gas or liquid at room temperature is the property that you would expect for CCl_{4}.

How many significant figures<br> are in this number?<br> 43.55
leva [86]

Answer:

4 significant figures

Explanation:

Significant figures are the units/digits within a number that make the number more accurate and precise.

All digits (except for 0) are always significant. Therefore, all the digits in 43.55 are significant. Since there are 4 digits in the given number, there are 4 significant figures.

In this prelab exercise, you will calculate how to prepare solutions that you will make in lab. Below is an example of how to pr
Anastasy [175]

Explanation:

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of solution (L)}}

Moles of compound =

\frac{\text{mass of compound}}{\text{Molar mass of compound}}

We have ;

Volume of solution = 600 mL = 0.600 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Moles of NaOH = n

Molarity of the solution = 3 M

3M=\frac{n}{0.600 L}

n = 3 M × 0.600 L = 1.800 mol

Mass of 1.800 mole sof NaOH :

1.800 mol × 40 g/mol = 72.0 g

Preparation:

Weight 72.0 grams of sodium hydroxide and add it to the 500 mL of volumetric flask along with some water. Dissolve the all the solute by adding small proportion of water. After the solution becomes clear make the water upto the mark of 500 ml.

Transfer the solution to a bigger beaker  and 100 mL of water more to it.
