VSEPR theory (known as Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion ) endeavors to explain/predict the shape and geometry of molecules. The theory postulates that atoms in a molecule take a position in space (within the molecule) that reduces the repulsion of the individual atom’s electron clouds so the molecule can achieve the most stable state.

If an unknown liquid has a density of 0.756 g/mL and a mass of 2.00 g, what is its volume?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.65 mL</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 2 g

density = 0.756 g/mL

So we have

volume =  \frac{2}{0.756}  \\  = 2.645502...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.65 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 56 g sample of peanut oil has a volume of 60.9 cm³. Calculate the density of the peanut oil
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Density = mass / volume. So you'd write it out as D = 56g / 60.9cm^3, giving you 0.9195 g/cm^3.

A particular first-order reaction has a rate constant of 1.35 × 102 s-1 at 25.0°c. what is the magnitude of k at 75.0°c if ea =
IgorC [24]
According to this formula:
K= A*(e^(-Ea/RT) when we have K =1.35X10^2 & T= 25+273= 298K &R=0.0821
Ea= 85.6 KJ/mol So by subsitution we can get A:
1.35x10^2 = A*(e^(-85.6/0.0821*298))
1.35x10^2 = A * 0.03
A= 4333
by substitution with the new value of T(75+273) = 348K & A to get the new K
∴K= 4333*(e^(-85.6/0.0821*348)
  = 2.16 x10^2

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of solid iron with aqueous copper sulfate?
lozanna [386]
This is a single replacement reaction. So the final products are a metal and a salt with replaced cation. In this case, the final products are copper (metal) and iron sulfate (salt).
