Answer:
A molecule is tetrahedral if the central atom has four bonds and no lone pairs.
Explanation:
A typical example is a molecule of methane (see image).
The electron pairs in the bonds repel the electrons in the other bonds, so they all try to get as far from each other as possible.
They can do this if the bonds point to the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of 109.5°.
Complete Question
A student is extracting caffeine from water with dichloromethane. The K value is 4.6. If the student starts with a total of 40 mg of caffeine in 2 mL of water and extracts once with 6 mL of dichloromethane
The experiment above is repeated, but instead of extracting once with 6 mL the extraction is done three times with 2 mL of dichloromethane each time. How much caffeine will be in each dichloromethane extract?
Answer:
The mass of caffeine extracted is
Explanation:
From the question above we are told that
The K value is
The mass of the caffeine is
The volume of water is
The volume of caffeine is
The number of times the extraction was done is n = 3
Generally the mass of caffeine that will be extracted is
