Question: Predicting the shape of a molecule is relatively straight forward. A molecule's shape will always be determined by the number of electron pairs around the central atom. The number of electron pair corresponds to the number of atoms that are bound to the central atom of the molecule. For example, water contains two hydrogen atom bound to one atom of oxygen, giving the molecule a linear geometry.
Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct. Based on the information provided, what would be the bond angle in a molecule of perchlorate ion.
Answer: Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct The (perchlorate ion) will be a tetrahedral shape, O-Cl-O bond angle 109.5 due to four groups of bonding electrons and no lone pairs of electrons.
Distance is 15 m + 11 m =26 m
Displacement is North 15 - 11 south= 4 m north.
The answer is; C
As can be observed in the diagram, the oceanic plate of the crust is being subducted by the continental plate. This is typical of a subduction zone where two tectonic plates, moving in opposite directions, collide. The heavier plate (usually the oceanic plate due to its ‘wetness’) sinks below the lighter plate (usually the continental plate). An example of a subduction zone is the famous ‘ring of fire’ region in the Pacific.
Answer:
1404 N .
Explanation:
Force = rate of change of momentum
d/dt ( mv₁ - mv₂ )
If v₂ = - v₁
rate of change of momentum
= d/dt ( mv₁+mv₁ )
=2x v₁ dm / dt ( Here velocity of water v₁ throughout is constant )
Force = 2 xv₁ dm / dt
Given ,
v₁ = 18 m/s
dm / dt = rate of flow of mass of water
= 39 kg / s
Putting the values in the equation above
Force = 2xv₁ dm / dt
= 2x18 x 39
= 1404 N .
