Answer : The correct option is, (B) Tetrahedral compound

Explanation :

Formula used:

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

First we have to determine the hybridization of the $CH_4$ molecule.

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4$

The number of electrons are 4 and there is no lone pairs present on the central carbon atom that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

Hence, the shape of the given compound $CH_4$ is, tetrahedral.

suppose that you are comparing several objects. is it correct to say that the object with the largest volume has the largest mas

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is not correct to say that an object with the largest volume has the largest mass.

Mass and volume are not directly related. In fact, the relationship between them can be direct or inverse.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Volume is the space a body occupies.

A balloon and a stone for example is a typical one.
A balloon has more volume but far lesser mass compared to a stone.
A stone, gravel sized has low volume but more massive than a balloon.

Therefore, it is wrong to say a balloon has more mass because it has more volume.

Calculate the molarity of a solution obtained dissolving 10.0 g of cobalt(Ⅱ) bromide tetrahydrate in enough water to make 450 mL

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The molarity of the CoBr2•4H2O solution is 7.64 × 10-2 M

Explanation:

Cobalt (II) bromide tetrahydrate

• Cobalt - A transition metal with Roman numeral (II) → charge: +2 → Co2+

• Bromide - anion from group 7A → -1 charge → symbol: Br-

• Tetrahydrate- tetra- means 4 and hydrate is H2O

The chemical formula of the compound is: CoBr2•4H2O

We then need to determine the number of moles of CoBr2•4H2O since this is the only information missing for us to find molarity. Notice that the volume of the solution is already given.

We’re given the mass of CoBr2•4H2O. We can use the molar mass of CoBr2•4H2O4 to find the moles.

•The molar mass of CoBr2•4H2O is:

CoBr2•4H2O

1 Co x 58.93 g/mol Co = 58.93 g/mol

2 Br x 79.90 g/mol Br = 159.80 g/mol

8 H x 1.008 g/mol H = 8.064 g/mol

4 O x 16.00 g/mol O = 64.00 g/mol

________________________________________

Sum = 290.79 g/ mo

The moles of CoBr2•4H2O is:

= 10.0 g CoBr2•4H2O x $\frac{ 1 mol CoBr_2 . 4H_2O}{290.79 g CoBr_2 . 4H_2O}$

= 0.0344 mol CoBr2•4H

We know that the volume of the solution is 450 mL.

We can now calculate for molarity:

Convert mL to L → 1 mL = 10-3 L

Formula:

Molarity (M)= Mole of solute / Liters of solution

= 0.0344 mol CoBr2•4H / 450 mL x 1 ml / 10^ -3 L

= 0.0764

= 7.64 × 10-2 mol/L
