What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in NCl3

Chemistry
1 answer:
Archy [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

Explanation:

The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.

The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.

VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.

We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.

The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).

<span>C. C4H8 Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct. A. C2H2 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. B. C2H6 This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. C. C4H8 This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer. D. C6H6 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.</span>

Ampicillin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. (Instead of killing bacteria, it inhibits their growth.) Ramon plated bacteria transf
love history [14]

Answer:

A) That resistance in bacteria is produced due to inactivation of ampicillin by the beta lactamase enzyme. This enzyme is expressed by the bla gene found in the plasmid. This enzyme is secreted into the culture medium, thereby inactivating ampicillin. Thanks to this inactivation, the bacteria colonies will be able to develop. After a day of incubation, only those bacteria that took the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin will grow after transformation. After prolonged incubation, two types of colonies can be observed in the culture medium. One large colony with ampicillin resistance, and another small colony, both of which are sensitive to ampicillin.

B) Large colonies are characterized by being resistant to ampicillin. When Ramón isolates the plasmid, he will have the gene that provides resistance to antibiotics. Said plasmid can be used again on those bacteria that are sensitive to ampicillin.

On the other hand, satellite colonies are sensitive to ampicillin. These types of colonies do not have the plasmid that contains the gene that gives ampicillin resistance. It is not possible to isolate any plasmids from these satellite colonies. These satellite bacteria will not be able to grow if they are transferred to a plate containing fresh ampicillin, while large colonies, which possess the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin, will be able to grow on that plate.

In which step of the four-stroke engine cycle does the spark plug initiate the combustion reaction?
Dominik [7]
ANSWER
Power stroke

EXPLANATION

At the power stroke stage, the piston is forced to move down by the expanding gases as both intake valve and exhaust valve are closed.
A spark from the spark plug contributes to ignition of the compressed fuel air mixture to released energy to perform work.
