I think the correct answer is the first option. It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. The structure of a BF3 molecule shows a symmetrical trigonal geometry. The net dipole moment of the molecule is zero therefore it is polar.

Answer: It has polar bonds and a symmetrical structure.

Explanation:

Formula used  for calculating hybridization

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

where, V = number of valence electrons present in central atom i.e. boron= 3

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom=3

C = charge of cation = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

BF_3

{\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[3+3-0+0]=3

The number of electrons is 3 that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Thus as there are no lone pair of electrons, there is no distortion and the molecule is symmetrical. The B-F bonds are polar due to electronegativity difference but the polarities cancel due to symmetrical structure.

Salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore _____.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Correct options are as follows.

  • salt is not chemically bonded to water.
  • salt and water retain their own chemical properties.

Explanation:

When salt is dissolved in water then it means that it is a physical change as salt has completely dissociated into ions but they are not chemically combined to the water molecules.

As a result, both salt and water will retain their chemical properties.

For example, NaCl when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.

           NaCl \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-}

Only the particles of salt have evenly distributed in water.

And, when a components of a salt chemically combine with another substance then it will form a new compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore:

  • salt is not chemically bonded to water.
  • salt and water retain their own chemical properties.

How was or wasn't the scientific method followed in this experment
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The best answer would be:

C. The scientific method was followed because the experiment tested the hypothesis and produced reliable results.

Explanation:

The purpose of an experiment is to test the hypothesis. It is true that having an experimental group and a control group was following the scientific method but the data gathering and documentation was also part of the scientific method. So the best answer would be C.

Writing the question is not necessary. It is merely part of forming a hypothesis. The scientific method does not require many scientists to perform the experiment, but it does require that the experiment be repeatable, so it can be tested again.

2Al+3Cl2⟶2AlCl3
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

7.335 moles of  Cl₂ are required to react with 4.89 miles of Al.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Al = 4.89 mol

Number of moles of Cl₂ required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3Cl₂    →   2AlCl₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al and chlorine from balance chemical equation.

                            Al           :         Cl₂

                             2           :           3

                            4.89      :         3/2×4.89 =7.335 mol

Thus, 7.335 moles of  Cl₂ are required to react with 4.89 miles of Al.

Which experimental setup would let a student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature? (1 point) placin
Maslowich

Answer:

The correct option is;

Placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 60 ml of water at 10°, placing one drop of food coloring in a second cup with 60 ml of water at 40°C

Explanation:

The experimental setup that would allow the student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature should be made up of the following characteristics

1) The constant terms for the experiment should be defined, which in this case are

a) The volume of the water which is 60 ml in both subjects of the experiment

2) The definition of the variable that produces the effect that is being monitored, which is the use of the different temperatures in the two experimental subjects

3)The environmental limits of the experiment, which is the water and the food coloring used
