Can someone help me understand what 1b is asking and how to answer it?

Chemistry

The question is basically asking what is happening to the energy (that is in the form of heat) when it is being absorbed by an object.  The energy being absorbed from the heat source is being turned into kinetic energy.  This can be explained by temperature change.  As you add more heat to an object, the temperature rises.  Since temperature is the average kinetic energy of all of the molecules in an object, we can say that as temperature rises so does the kinetic energy of the molecules in the object.  Due to the fact that heat is causing the temperature to increase, we can say that the energy from the heat is being turned into kinetic energy.  

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

SeF6 1. Lewis Structure 2. Perspective drawing 3. Number of atoms bonded to central atom 4. Number of non-bonding electron pairs
Anarel [89]

The answer is- SF_{6} is octahedral in electronic and molecular geometry with 6 Fluorine atoms bonded to central atom S.

Lewis structures are the diagrams in which the valence electrons of the atoms of a compound are arranged around the atoms showing the bonding between the atom and the lone pair of electrons existing in the molecule.

Determine the molecular geometry of SF_{6}.

  • Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory is commonly known as VSEPR theory and it helps to predict the geometry of molecules.
  • According to this theory, electrons are arranged around the central atom of the molecule in such a way that there is minimum electrostatic repulsion between these electrons.
  • Now, calculate the total number of valence electrons in SF_{6}.

Valence\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6}= Valence\ electrons\ in\ S +\ 6(Valence\ electrons\ in\ F)

Valence electrons of S = 6

Valence electrons of F = 7

Thus, the valence electrons in SF_{6} are-

Valence\ number\ of\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6} = (6) + 6(7) = 48\ electrons.

  • The Lewis structure of SF_{6} is - (Image attached).
  • In the structure, the number of atoms bonded to central atom (S) = 6.
  • Number of non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom = 0 (as all the valence electrons are bonded to F).
  • Electronic geometry in case of 6 bond pairs is octahedral.
  • Molecular geometry us also octahedral with bond angles 90°.
  • Central atom is sp3d2 hybridised.
  • SF_{6} is a non-polar molecule.

Describe an experiment to show that water contains hydrogen and oxygen only​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Electrolysis

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water is one such experiment that shows that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms only in the ratio of 2 to 1.

In the electrolysis of water, electricity is passed through acidified water to cause it to decompose.

The electrolysis of water is also known as the electrolysis of dilute tetraoxosulphate  (VI) acid.

At the cathode, H⁺ ions are discharged and hydrogen gas is liberated:

               2H⁺       +     2e⁻     →        H₂

At the anode, both the sulfate ion and hydroxyl ions migrate to this electrode. Only the OH⁻ is selected for preferential discharge due to its lower position in that activity series.

         4OH⁻  →   2H₂O    +    O₂     +     4e⁻

Oxygen gas is produced at the anode.

This electrolysis demonstrates the volumetric composition of water that is, 2 volumes of hydrogen at the cathode and 1 volume of oxygen at the anode.

Will an object with a density of 0.999 sink or float
Semmy [17]

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

The molecular formula HOH is an example of a(n)
vodka [1.7K]

Molecule

Explanation:

The molecular formula HOH is an example of a molecule.

A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance (element or compound) capable of independent existence.

Molecules can be:

  1. Monoatomic with one atom e.g Neon, Argon
  2. Diatomic with two atoms e.g Nitrogen gas N₂
  3. Polyatomic e.g ozone O₃

The word molecule can also be used to refer to a covalent compound that has discrete or separate units.

The formula HOH or H₂O is a separate covalent that has an independent existence.
