Aleksandr [31]

Answer: -

3.3° C

Explanation: -

Mass of water m = 180.5 g

Energy released as heat Q = 2494 J

Specific heat is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by 1 C.

Specific heat of water Cp = 4.184 (J/g)⋅∘C

Using the formula

Q = m x Cp x ΔT

We get temperature change ΔT = Q / (m x Cp)

= 2494 J / ( 180.5 g x 4.184 (J/g)⋅∘C

= 3.3° C

Thus the temprature change, (ΔT), of the wateris 3.3 °C if 180.5 g of water sat in the copper pipe from part A, releasing 2494 J of energy to the pipe

The osmotic pressure of a solution increases as
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The osmotic pressure of a solution is a colligative property, which means that it depends on the number of particles of solute in the solution.

Formula: Osmotic pressure = MRT, where M is the molarity of the solution, R is the universal constant of ideal gases and T is the absolute temperature of the solution.

So, the answer is the option .: the osmotic pressure of a solution increases as the number of particles of solute in the solution increases.

Marat540 [252]

Answer : The structure of XeH_4 will be square-planar.

Explanation :

In the given molecule XeH_4, 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.

Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.

The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons

The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons

There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.

The structure of XeH_4 is shown below.
