Answer:

The central atom has 3 electron domains.

Explanation:

According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.

The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.

Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.

a metal object has a mass of 9.0g and a volume of 1.5ml. what is the density of the object? density= mass/volume​
weeeeeb [17]

The density of the metal object=6.0\frac{g}{m l}

Given:

Volume of the metal object=1.5ml

Mass of the metal object=9.0g

To find:

Density of the metal object

<u>Step by Step Explanation: </u>

Solution:

According to the formula, Density of the metal object can be calculated as

\rho=\frac{m}{v}

Where, m=mass of the metal object

\rho =density of the metal object

v=volume of the metal object

We know the values of v=1.5ml and m=9.0g

Substitute these values in the above equation we get

\rho=\frac{m}{v}

\rho=9.0/1.5

=6.0\frac{g}{m l}

Result:

Thus the density of the metal object is 6.0\frac{g}{m l}

How much energy (in Joules) would it take to warm 3.11 grams of gold by 7.7 oC
Reptile [31]

Answer:

It would take 3.11 J to warm 3.11 grams of gold

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold = 3.11 grams

Temperature rise = 7.7 °C

Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.130 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the amount of energy

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the energy required (in Joules) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 3.11 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = 0.130 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The temperature rise = 7.7 °C

Q = 3.11 g * 0.130 J/g°C * 7.7 °C

Q = 3.11 J

It would take 3.11 J to warm 3.11 grams of gold

If 11.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, is dissolved in 107.8 g of chloroform, CHCl3, what is the molality of the solution?
Art [367]

Answer: 0.811m

Explanation: Molarity is the moles of solute present per kg of solvent.

Molar mass of C10H8 = . 128.17 g/mol

No. of moles = given mass/molar mass

11.2g C10H8 = 11.2/128.17 g/mol C10H8

= 0.0874 mol C10H8

NOW 107.8g solvent (chloroform) contains 0.0879 molecules (naphthalene)

1000g   ''    will contain (0.0879/107.8 x 1000) mole solute

= 0.811 mole

Molarity of the solution is 0.811 m (option A)

4 kmol Methane (CH4) is burned completely with the stoichiometric amount of air during a steady-flow combustion process. If both
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Heat transfer = 3564 Jolues

The same value

Explanation:

The heat of combustion is the heat released per 1 mole of substunce experimenting the combustion at standard conditions of pressure and temperature ( 1 atm, 298 K):

Qtransfer = - mol x ΔHºc Qtransfer

So look up in appropiate reference table ΔHºc  and solve the problem:

ΔHºc  = - 891 kJ/mol

Qtransfer = - (4 x 10³ mol x  -891 kJ/mol ) = 3564 J

if the combustion were achieved with 100 % excess air, the result will still be the same. As long as the standard conditions are maintained, the heat of combustion remains constant. In fact in many cases the combustion is performed under excess oxygen to ensure complete combustion.
