i believe it would be B '' tetrahedral compound ''

yulyashka [42]3 years ago

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.

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.

The following chemical reactants produce the ester ethyl ethanoate (C4H8O2): C2H6O + CH3COOH What type of reaction occurs to mak
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Esterification reaction

Explanation:

An esterification reaction is an organic reaction involving an organic acid and an alkanol to give an ester or an ethanoate and water

Like the name suggests, an ester is the product formed in an esterification reaction alongside water. It is like a neutralization reaction but this time it solely contains organic molecules. These molecules react with each other to give rise to another organic molecule which is a member of a different homologous series.

Practically, to form ethyl ethanoate, ethanoic acid react with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid which catalyses the reaction.

What does the difference in potential energy between the reactants and products represent? A. It represents the energy required
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. It represents the change in enthalpy for the reaction.

Explanation:

The potential energy diagram for a chemical reaction shows its potential energy plotted against the reaction progress coordinate. The potential energy diagram shows how the potential energy of reactants and products vary as reactants are converted into products.

The potential energy of the system refers to energy stored in the chemical bonds of reactants and products. The difference between the potential energy of reactants and products is known as the enthalpy of reaction. This difference in potential energy may be positive or negative. A positive difference in potential energy implies an endothermic reaction while a negative difference in potential energy implies an exothermic reaction.

How does the type of medium affect a sound wave? Give an Example
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly.Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves as depicted in the animation below.
