See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:
In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:
Se = x
O = -2
x + (-2)*2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4.
Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.
In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
Explanation:
As the given data is as follows.
Height, H = 150 feet
Heat gain = 30,000 BTU/hr, and Heat loss = 25000 BTU/hr
m = mass of water heated = 700 gallons = 5810 lbs
is the heat capacity of water = 1 BTU/lb
(given)
= temperature difference =
Heat energy required to heat 700 gal can be calculated as follows:
Heat Required =
Thus, water rises till .
