What is the molecular geometry of the left carbon atom (circled) in acetic acid? The left carbon atom is attached to three hydro

gen atoms and one carbon atom through single bonds. The right carbon atom is attached to a carbon atom and an oxygen atom through single bonds and a second oxygen atom through a double bond.

Answer:  Tetrahedral geometry

Explanation: The structure of the acetic acid is shown in the image below.

The left carbon atom is the one which is attached to three hydrogen atoms through single bonds and to one carbon atom through single bond as well.

Thus the orbitals which are used in the process of the formation of the chemical bond between these 4 are sp3 orbitals. And these orbitals results in the formation of the tetrahedral geometry.

The right carbon atom that is attached to a  carbon atom and an oxygen atom through single bonds and a second oxygen atom through a double bond has trigonal planar geometry which involves the sp2 orbitals for the formation of the bond.

Answer:

H+  +  OH−  --> H2O

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is represented by the chemical formular; HCl. This is an ionic substance so in water it breaks apart into hydrohrn ions; H+ and chloride ions; Cl−. It is a strong acid, hence it completely dissociates.

Potassium Hydroxide is also an ionic substance it also breaks apart in water into potassium ions; K+ and hydroxide ions; OH−. It is a strong base, hence it completely dissociates.

The complete ionic equation for the reaction is given as;

H+  +  Cl−  +  K+  +  OH−  -->  K+  +  Cl−  +  H2O

The Hydrogen ion and the Hydroxide ions combine to form water.

The net ionic equation is given as;

H+  +  OH−  --> H2O

Cl- and K+ ions were cancelled out because they do not undergo any changes therefore are not part of the net ionic equation. They are referred to as spectator ions.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

2 NaOH + H2SO4 2 H2O + Na2SO4

How many grams of sodium sulfate will be formed if you start with 200.0

grams of sodium hydroxide and you have an excess of sulfuric acid?

355.3 grams of Na2SO4

200.0 g NaOH 1 mol NaOH 1 mol Na2SO4 142.1 g Na2SO4

40.00 g NaOH 2 mol NaOH 1 mol Na2SO4

= 355.3 g

Answer:

4. Principal and Azimuthal (subsidiary) quantum number

5.Principal, Azimuthal (subsidiary), and magnetic quantum number

6. 10 electrons

7. 32 electrons

8. 36 electrons

Explanation:

4. Principal and Azimuthal (subsidiary) quantum number because in 4d, 4 represent principal quantum number and d- represents azimuthal quantum number (having l- value as 3)

5.Principal, Azimuthal (subsidiary), and magnetic quantum number are the first three because 2 stands for principal, s-for azimuthal (l=0) and magnetic quantum number for s- orbital= 0

6. 10 electrons, because for sublevel with l= 3, is a d-sub-level, and d- can take 10-electrons

7. 32 electrons, using the relationship 2×n^2 for the maximum number of electrons in a shell,

,n= 4 , hence 2×4^2= 32

8. 36 electrons, because n=4 and n= 3 can have the maximum configuration of [Ar]4s^2 3d^10 4p^6

This will sum up to 36- electrons, since Argon has 18 -electrons.

18+2+10+6=36 electrons

A gravel can be broken down into different kinds of substances by physical processes. No chemical reactions are needed to separa
Vlada [557]

Answer:

MIXTURE

Explanation:

A mixture is a substance composed of a combination of other different substances. These component(s) of a mixture are physically combined, meaning that there is no chemical linkage between the individual components/constituents of a mixture.

This is the case of the gravel described in this question. The components of gravel can be separated using physical means because they are not chemically bonded to one another, hence, no chemical reactions are needed to separate different parts of gravel into pure substances. This makes gravel a MIXTURE.

Given the chemical equation: 2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO, if 51.8 grams of Pb are formed in this reaction, then 8.00 grams of O2 must have
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require 4.00 g of O2

If 51.8 g of PbO is formed, it will require 3.47 g of O2.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of lead metal, Pb, reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O2, to produce 2 moles of lead (ii) oxide, PbO

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 32 = 239 g

Therefore 2 × 207 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 2 × 239 g of PbO

= 414 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 478 g of PbO

Therefore, formation of 51.8 g of PbO will require (32/478) × 51.8 of O2 = 3.47 g of O2.

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require (32/414) × 51.8 g of O2 = 4.00 g of O2
