Answer:
A molecule is tetrahedral if the central atom has four bonds and no lone pairs.
Explanation:
A typical example is a molecule of methane (see image).
The electron pairs in the bonds repel the electrons in the other bonds, so they all try to get as far from each other as possible.
They can do this if the bonds point to the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of 109.5°.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
Answer:
There are 1.51 x 1024 molecules of carbon dioxide in 2.50 moles of carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. 59 m/atm
Explanation:
- To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
- <em>Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.</em>
- It can be expressed as: C = KP,
C is the concentration of the solution (C = 1.3 M).
P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution (P = 0.022 atm).
K is the Henry's law constant (K = ??? M/atm),
∵ C = KP.
∴ K = C/P = (1.3 M)/(0.022 atm) = 59.0 M/atm.
