Answer: The correct option would be A.

Explanation: The main group elements which make more bonds than that was predicted from the octet rule are supposed to have expanded octet.

These elements tend to have more than 8 valence electrons after bonding and this can be achieved when we have empty d-orbitals.

When we have empty p-orbitals, total number of valence electrons than can be occupied will be 8.

Electronic configuration when valence shell's empty p-orbitals are fully filled = ns^2np^6

which means that a total of 8 electrons can be occupied which does not satisfy expanded octet rule.

Example of molecule showing expanded octet rule is given in the image. Here, after bonding Phosphorous has 10 electrons which is occupied in empty d-orbitals.

Heat is being transferred from the ground to the air above it by conduction. Explain how this is possible.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.

in an experiment 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead the empirical formula of the lead oxide is?​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Pb3O4

Explanation:

According to this question, 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead in an experiment. Since lead oxide contains both lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) element,

Mass of lead oxide = 3.425g

Mass of lead = 3.105g

Mass of oxygen = (3.425g - 3.105g) = 0.320g

Next, we convert each mass value to mole by dividing by respective molar mass

Pb = 3.105g ÷ 207.2 = 0.0149mol

O = 0.320g ÷ 16 = 0.02mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.0149)

Pb = 0.0149mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1

O = 0.02mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1.342

Multiply each ratio value by 3 to get:

Pb = 1 × 3 = 3

O = 1.342 × 3 = 4.026

The whole number ratio, approximately, of Pb and O is 3:4, hence, their empirical formula is Pb3O4.

An important industrial route to extremely pure acetic acid is the reaction of methanol with carbon monoxide:
Nastasia [14]

The reaction has had a heat that is enthalpy of -22 kJ/mol. The exothermic process has been signaled by the negative sign.

The amount of energy that the system absorbs or releases to create the products is described as the heat of reaction.

The source of the reaction's heat is

H is equal to 3(413 Kj/mol) + 358 Kj/mol + 467 Kj/mol + 1070 Kj/mol = 3134 Kj/mol.

H prod equals 3(413 kj/mol) plus 347 kj/mol plus 358 kj/mol plus 467 kj/mol plus 745 kj/mol, or 3156 kj/mol.

H=3134 kj/mol - 3156 kj/mol = -22 Kj/mol

Negative findings point to an exothermic response.

A chemical process known as an exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat or light.
