Answer:

lone pair-bond pair repulsion is best accounted for decrease in bond angle

Explanation:

Bond angle in each compounds depends on presence of lone pair on central atom.

In CH_{4}, there is no lone pair on C atom. So, no lone pair-bond pair repulsion is present here. Hence \angle H-C-H is 109^{0}5^{'}

In NH_{3}, there is one lone pair on N atom. So, one lone pair-bond pair repulsion is present here. Hence \angle H-N-H is 107^{0}

In H_{2}O, there are two lone pairs on O atom. So, two lone pair-bond pair repulsion are present here. Hence \angle H-O-H is 104^{0}5^{'}

So, lone pair-bond pair repulsion is best accounted for decrease in bond angle

What is the name for a substance made of billions of oppositely charged ions<br> joined together?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Ionic substance

Explanation:

An ionic substance is formed when oppositely charged ions link up to form an infinitely large lattice structure that can only be described in terms of unit cells.

Ionic substances may consist of billions of oppositely charged ions. Ionic substances are hard, have high melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are not free in the solid state.

However, in solution or molten state, the substance conducts electricity since the ions which are the charge carriers are now mobile.

Find the pHpH of a solution prepared from 1.0 LL of a 0.15 MM solution of Ba(OH)2Ba(OH)2 and excess Zn(OH)2(s)Zn(OH)2(s). The Ks
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

pH  = 13.09

Explanation:

Zn(OH)2 --> Zn+2 + 2OH-   Ksp = 3X10^-15

Zn+2 + 4OH-   --> Zn(OH)4-2   Kf = 2X10^15

K = Ksp X Kf

  = 3*2*10^-15 * 10^15

  = 6

Concentration of OH⁻ = 2[Ba(OH)₂] = 2 * 0.15 = 3 M

                Zn(OH)₂ + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> Zn(OH)₄²⁻(aq)

Initial:           0             0.3                      0

Change:                      -2x                     +x

Equilibrium:               0.3 - 2x                 x

K = Zn(OH)₄²⁻/[OH⁻]²

6 = x/(0.3 - 2x)²  

6 = x/(0.3 -2x)(0.3 -2x)

6(0.09 -1.2x + 4x²) = x

0.54 - 7.2x + 24x² = x

24x² - 8.2x + 0.54 = 0

Upon solving as quadratic equation, we obtain;

x = 0.089

Therefore,

Concentration of (OH⁻) = 0.3 - 2x

                                    = 0.3 -(2*0.089)

                                  = 0.122

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

         = -log 0.122

          = 0.91

pH = 14-0.91

     = 13.09

A diesel truck produces 47.5kJ of useful output energy from 125kJ of diesel fuel.what is the truck efficiency?.show the solution
Alex Ar [27]
You have to do a report :
\frac{E_f}{E_i} =  \frac{47,5}{125} = 0,38

So the truck efficiency is 38%.

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)
klio [65]

Answer:

Kp=3.07x10^6

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}

N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6

Best regards.

20.00 g of aluminum (al) reacts with 78.78 grams of molecular chlorine (cl2) all of each reactant is completely consumed and a s
marysya [2.9K]

The mass of the product is <em>98.78 g.</em>

The word equation is

aluminum + chlorine → product

20.00 g + 98.78 g → <em>x</em> g

If each reactant is completely consumed, the <em>Law of conservation of Mass </em>tells us the mass of the product must be 98.78 g.
