Answer:

linear

Explanation:

If we look at the compound, we will understand that the underlined carbon is in sp hybridization. Recall that sp hybridization leads to a C-C bond angle of about 180°. When two chemical species are at a bond angle if 180°, then the both bonding groups are found to be on a straight line.

Hence, for any carbon in a triply bonded state or indeed any carbon atom that is in an sp will exhibit a linear geometry according to the Valence Shell Electron Pair repulsion Theory since there are two electron pairs present.

Balance this equation. Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

This is how it starts out.

Left:

2 NO3s
1 Pb
1 Na
1 Cl

Right

1 Na
1 NO3
1 Pb
2 Cl

So the place to start with this equation is to bring the Cls up to 2

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

But the Nas are now out of kilter.

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+ 2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Now the right has a problem. There's only 1 Na

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Check it out. It looks like we are done.

If the sample has a total mass of 5.76 g and contains 1.79 g k, what are the percentages of kbr and ki in the sample by mass

Luden [163]

The percentages of KBr and KI in the sample by mass is 80.68 and 19.32 % respectively.

<h3>What is Molar Mass ?</h3>

Molar mass is defined as the mass contained in 1 mole of sample.

It is given that

the sample has a total mass of 5.76 g contains KBr and KI

and contains 1.79 gm of K is present

what is the percentage of KBr and KI in the sample

Molecular weight of K = 39

Molecular weight of Br = 79.9

Molecular weight of I = 126.9

In KBr the mass percentage of K is 39/(39+79.9) = 32.89%

In KI the mass percentage of K is 39/(39+126.9) = 23.5%

Let the mass of KBr present in the sample is x

K will be 0.3289 x

and let the mass of KI present be y

K will be 0.235y

x +y =5.76

0.3289x+0.235y = 1.79

0.0939y = 0.1045

y = 1.1125 gm

x = 5.76-1.1125

x = 4.6475 gm

% of KBr = (4.6475/5.76 )*100 = 80.68 %

% of KI = (1.1125/5.76) *100 = 19.32%

A silver necklace is made from a pure sample of silver that is free of I'm purities. Which term or terms could be used to descri

geniusboy [140]

The terms that apply to this silver necklace are:
pure chemical substance
element

The necklace consists purely of silver, making it a pure chemical substance; moreover, silver itself is an element, not a compound. Therefore, the term element is also fitting for the necklace.
