Compare the costs of using renewable resources to the costs of using nonrenewable resources.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Sample response:

The costs of using both renewable and nonrenewable resources depend on the extent of the use. If renewable resources are managed wisely, the use of the resource will not exceed the rate at which it is replenished. In this instance the cost of using renewable resources can be minimized, if not entirely eliminated. The cost of using nonrenewable resources is harder to minimize because nonrenewable resources cannot be replenished at the rate at which they are used. The environmental impact of using nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuels is greater than just the loss of the resource itself. Other impacts such as acid rain, global warming, and atmospheric pollution can result from the use of nonrenewable resources.

The ammonia molecule in the diagram has the observed bond orientation because ...
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  • Nitrogen has four pairs of electrons: 3 bonds and 1 lone pair in the valence shell;
  • Electrons repel one another based on the VSEPR theory;
  • Nitrogen has a total of 7 protons (its atomic number is 7) in its nucleus.

Explanation:

The shape and the bond orientation of molecules and ions are both explained by the valences shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR).

Ammonia, NH_3, is a molecule which contains three N-H bonds, as well as one lone pair on nitrogen. According to the VSEPR theory, molecules try to acquire a shape which would minimize the repulsion exhibited by the electron clouds present, that is, between the bonding (shared in a bond) and non-bonding (lone pair) electrons.

In VSEPR, our main step is to calculate the steric number, this is the sum of the number of bonds (ignoring the multiplicity of any bond) and the lone pairs on a central atom. In ammonia, we have 3 bonds and 1 lone pair, totaling to a steric number of 4. A steric number of 4 without any lone pairs on a central atom and just bonds would yield a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 109.5^o.

Now, in this case, since we have a lone pair instead of a bond, it is repelling stronger decreasing the bond angles to about 107^o.

The greater the number of lone pairs, the lower the angle becomes.

To summarize:

  • Nitrogen has four pairs of electrons: 3 bonds and 1 lone pair in the valence shell;
  • Electrons repel one another based on the VSEPR theory;
  • Nitrogen has a total of 7 protons (its atomic number is 7) in its nucleus.

What is the density of object A? Does it sink<br> or float in water?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

~1.5 g/cm3 and it does NOT float in water.

Explanation:

If you look at the graph, Object A weighs ~6 grams and is ~4 cm3 in volume

Density = Mass/Volume

So 6 grams/4 cm3 = 1.5 g/cm3

Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 and because Object A density is higher than that of water, it sinks.
