Answer:

Electron domains in the valence shell of an atom will arrange themselves so as to minimize repulsions

Explanation:

In accordance with VSEPR theory, the electron domains or electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule always position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.

Recall that according to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs or electron domains on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule, both lone pairs and bond pairs. Lone pairs are known to cause more repulsions than bond pairs.

A gas at constant volume has a pressure of 3.20 atm at 300. K. What will be the pressure of the gas at 290. K?
melomori [17]
  • From the general law of gases: PV = nRT,

where P is the pressure (atm),

V is the volume (L),

n is the number of moles,

R is the general gas constant (8.314 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature in Kelvin

  • at constant volume of the gas: P1T2 = P2T1

P1 = 3.20 atm, T1 = 300 K, T2 = 290 K, P2 = ??

(3.20 atm)(290 K) = P2(300 K)

P2 = (3.20 atm)(290 K)/ (300 K) = 3.093 atm

How would you separate a mixture of water, sand, salt and iron filings into its four component parts
kipiarov [429]
Magnet to remove the iron, filter paper (or some filter that could trap sand) to remove the sand, and heat up the salt and water, causing the water to evaporate to separate them.

As the pressure on the surface of a liquid decreases, the temperature at which the liquid will boil
ankoles [38]

Answer: option (1) decreases.


Explanation:


May be you have experienced that: when you go to the beach, where the atmposhpere pressure is greater than the atmosphere pressure in places that are at higher altitudes, the water takes longer to boil. That is because the boiling temperature is greater, and you need more total heat (more time) to permit the liquid to reach that temperature.


The reason why that happens is because substances boil when the vapor pressure (the pressure of the particles of vapor over the liquid) equals the atmosphere pressure. So, when the atmposhere pressure increases, the temperature at which the vapor pressure reaches the atmosphere pressure also increases, and when the atmosphere pressure decreases, the temperature at which the vapor pressure reaches the atmosphere pressure decreases.
