Molecular geometry about the left carbon atom in CH₃CO₂CH₃ is tetrahedral.
The geometry around left carbon that is CH₃ is tetrahedral.
As the hybridization around left carbon is sp³ that shows its geometry should be tetrahedral and as there are 4 ligands around carbon and there is no lone pair present so the geometry is tetrahedral. So, the molecular geometry about the left carbon atom in CH₃CO₂CH₃ is tetrahedral.
Answer:
Explanation:
We are asked to find the specific heat capacity of a liquid. We are given the heat added, the mass, and the change in temperature, so we will use the following formula.
The heat added (q) is 47.1 Joules. The mass (m) of the liquid is 14.0 grams. The specific heat (c) is unknown. The change in temperature (ΔT) is 1.80 °C.
- q= 47.1 J
- m= 14.0 g
- ΔT= 1.80 °C
Substitute these values into the formula.
Multiply the 2 numbers in parentheses on the right side of the equation.
We are solving for the heat capacity of the liquid, so we must isolate the variable c. It is being multiplied by 25.2 grams * degrees Celsius. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the equation by (25.2 g * °C).
The original measurements of heat, mass, and temperature all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the hundredth place. The 9 in the thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 6 up to a 7.
The heat capacity of the liquid is approximately 1.87 J/g°C.
Answer:
B. Ionic Compound
Explanation:
An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.
A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.
Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.
For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-
