A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a trigonal pyramidal shape. The electon arrangement of this is called tetrahedral. It involves one atom located at the apex and at the corners are three atoms with a trigonal base. An example would be ammonia or NH3. Nitrogen has five valence electrons so that it needs to three more electrons to satisfy the octet rule and be stable. It would share electrons with the three nitrogen present. In order, to achieve the most stable geometry, the three atoms of hydrogen would attach with a bond angle of 109 degrees.

What is the amount of heat energy absorbed when 36 grams of ice at -20oC is melted to water at 0oC?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Q = 1461.6 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 36 g

Initial temperature = -20°C

Final temperature = 0°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 0°C - (-20°C)

ΔT = 20°C

Q = 36 g ×2.03 j/g.°C×20°C

Q = 1461.6 J

Forming a hypothesis is accomplished through _______ reasoning.

vfiekz [6]

Deductive reasoning involves making broad observations and examining possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion, which is required in the formation of a hypothesis. Conversely, inductive reasoning involves taking specific observations and making broad generalisations from these. Therefore the answer is A.

Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN

iris [78.8K]

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = $100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N$

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = $60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N$

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.
