True [87]3 years ago

<span>Answer: 3 electron pairs Let's take BF3 for an example. When you find the valence electrons for this molecule --> [3+(3x6)], you'll get 24e-. You draw the Lewis dot structure and each of the F atom would have six dots around it (a total of 18 because there's 3 F atoms) and the B would have three lines [one line attached to each F. One line would equal to 2 valence electrons] and you get a total of 24 valence e-. The question asks how many groups are on the CENTRAL atom, meaning on the B. It would be three</span>

After some wood has completely burned in a fire, some of the matter that made up the wood has been destroyed.
nekit [7.7K]
The correct answer is D - When burning a log, the wood combined its components with oxygen. if you could capture the products (CO2, H2O, C, CO, etc), you would have a greater mass than what you started with, burning the log combined the log's components with oxygen in order to burn it.

A) -0.5(9.8)*t^2 = -25(t-2) - 0.5(9.8)(t-2)^2 
-4.9t^2 = -25t + 50 - 4.9(t^2-4t+4) 
0 = -25t+50+19.6t - 19.6 
5.4t = 30.4 
t = 5.62962963 s 

b) h = -4.9(5.62962963)^2 
h = -155.2943759

How many moles are in 5.4x1024 molecules of C4H2F7I, heptafluoro-1-iodobutane? Group of answer choices
jasenka [17]

Given :

Number of molecules of C_4H_2F_7I.

To Find :

How many moles are in given number of molecules.

Solution :

We know, in 1 moles of any element/compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} at atoms/molecules.

So, number of moles in 5.4\times 10^{24} molecules are :

n = \dfrac{5.4\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\n = 8.97 \ moles

Therefore, number of moles are 8.97 .

The following reactions take place in the ozone layer by the absorption of ultraviolet light.
____ [38]

Answer:

Option B will require a shorter wave length of light.

Explanation:

The bonding between Ozone (O3) and Oxygen (O2) can be used to explain why the breaking of oxygen into Oxygen radicals will require a shorter wave length.

  • The bond between Oxygen (O2) is a double bond while Ozone (O3) has an intermediate bond between a double bond and a single bond.
  • The bond order of Oxygen (O2) is equals 2 while that of Ozone (O3) is 1.5. Since the bond order of oxygen is higher, it will require more energy to break the bond compared to breaking the Ozone (O3) bond.
  • Recall that Energy is inversely proportional to wave length.
  • So it will require a shorter wave length to break the Oxygen (O2) into its radicals.

The ionic radius for Na+ is 0.097 ηm and for Cl- is 0.181 ηm, the absolute value of the charge for each ion is 1.6x10-19 C, ε_o=
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

B = (2.953 × 10⁻⁹⁵) N.m⁹

Explanation:

At equilibrium, where the distance between the two ions (ro) is the sum of their ionic radii, the force between the two ions is zero.

That is,

Fa + Fr = 0

Fa = - Fr

Fa = (|q₁q₂|)/(4πε₀r²)

Fr = -B/(r^n) but n = 9

Fr = -B/r⁹

(|q₁q₂|)/(4πε₀r²) = (B/r⁹)

|q₁| = |q₂| = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

(1/4πε₀) = k = (8.99 × 10⁹) Nm²/C²

r = 0.097 + 0.181 = 0.278 nm = (2.78 × 10⁻¹⁰) m

(k|q₁q₂|)/(r²) = (B/r⁹)

(k × |q₁q₂|) = (B/r⁷)

B = (k × |q₁q₂| × r⁷)

B = [8.99 × 10⁹ × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × (2.78 × 10⁻¹⁰)⁷]

B = (2.953 × 10⁻⁹⁵) N.m⁹
