Answer:

Correct option: a (tetrahedral)

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory tetrahedral arrangement comes when central atom have four electrons pair in the valence shell and only in this arrangement  electron pair will fell less repulsion that is why it is arranged in this way and VSEPR theory electrons pair are arranged in such a manner that they fell less repulsion.

they might have different number of bond pair and lone pair that depens on the number of bonded to other atom.

Hence opion a is correct.

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

33.56 g of fructose (C6H,206) and 18.88 g of water are mixed to obtain a 40.00 ml solution a. What is this solution's density? b
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

Mass of fructose = 33.56 g

Mass of water =  18.88  g

Total mass of the solution =  Mass of fructose + Mass of water = M

M = 33.56 g + 18.88  g =52.44 g

Volume of the solution = V = 40.00 mL

Density =\frac{Mass}{Volume}

a) Density of the solution:

\frac{M}{V}=\frac{52.44 g}{40.00 mL}=1.311 g/mL

b) Molar mass of fructose = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of fructose = n_1=\frac{ 33.56 g}{180.16 g/mol}=0.1863 mol

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Moles of water= n_2=\frac{ 18.88 g}{18.02 g/mol}=1.0477 mol

Mole fraction of fructose in this solution:\chi_1

\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{0.1863 mol}{0.1863 mol+1.0477 mol}

\chi_1=0.1510

Mole fraction of water = \chi_2=1-\chi_1=0.8490

c) Average molar mass of of the solution:

=\chi_1\times 180.16 g/mol+\chi_2\times 18.02 g/mol

=0.1510\times 180.16 g/mol+0.8490\times 18.02 g/mol=42.50 g/mol

d) Mass of 1 mole of solution = 42.50 g/mol

Density of the solution = 1.311 g/mL

d) Specific molar volume of the solution:

\frac{\text{Average molar mass}}{\text{Density of the mass}}

=\frac{42.50 g/mol}{1.311 g/mL}=32.42 mL/mol

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations;  base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of  deletion.

Lauryl alcohol is a nonelectrolyte obtained from coconut oil and is used to make detergents. A solution of 6.80 g of lauryl alco
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The approximate molar mass of lauryl alcohol is 174.08 g/m

Explanation:

An excersise to apply the colligative property of Freezing-point depression.

This is the formula: ΔT = Kf . m

First of all, think the T° of fusion of benzene → 5.5°C

ΔT = T° pure solvent - T° fusion solution

Kf for benzene: 5.12 °C/m

5.5°C - 4.5°C = 5.12 °C /m  . m

1°C /  5.12 m /°C = m

0.195 m = molality

This moles of lauryl alcohol, solute, are in 1 kg of benzene, solvent.

I have to find out in 0.2 kg.

1 kg sv ____ 0.195 moles solute

0.2 kg sv ____ (0.195 . 0.2)/1 = 0.039 moles solute

The mass for these moles is 6.80 g, so if I want to know the molar mass, I have to divide mass / moles

6.80 g/ 0.039 moles = 174.08 g/m
