Answer:- B) $CO_2$

Explanations:- In ammonia, N is the central atom and three H atoms are bonded to it via single bonds.

In carbon dioxide, the central atom is C and two O atoms are bonded to it via double bonds. The reason is, carbon has four valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. To complete the octet, each oxygen makes a double bond with carbon. It looks as O=C=O .

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and to complete its octet, it needs 3 more electrons so both N atoms are bonded to each other via a triple bond.

Cl has 7 valence electrons and needs one more to complete its octet. So, there is a single bond between two Cl atoms.

Hence the right choice is B) $CO_2$ .

Which of the following would be expected to have the highest viscosity? CH3CH2OH, HOCH2OH, CH3CH2CH3

zaharov [31]

Answer: Out of the given options $HOCH_{2}OH$ is expected to have the highest viscosity.

Explanation:

The resistance occurred in the flow of a liquid substance is called viscosity.

More stronger is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more will be its resistance in its flow. Hence, more will be its viscosity.

For example, $HOCH_{2}OH$ has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding than the one's present in $CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$ and $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ . This is because two-OH groups are present over here.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $HOCH_{2}OH$ is expected to have the highest viscosity.

A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

$q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T$

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

$q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}$

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

$V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3$

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

$M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg$

Then, the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

$Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ$

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

$t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}= 11690s=3.25h$

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The solution in beaker A is unsaturated

The solution in beaker B is saturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution that contains just as much solute as it can normally hold at a particular temperature. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a particular temperature.

If more solute is added to a saturated solution, the added solute does not dissolve completely. However, if more solute is added to an unsaturated solution, the added solute dissolves.
