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.

2 H2O2(aq) ----> 2 H2O(l) + O2(g) in the presence of I-(aq) is proposed to be: Step 1 (slow): H2O2 + I- -----> H2O + OI- S
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Molecularity of the rate determining step = 2

Explanation:

Step 1 (slow): H₂O₂ + I⁻ -----> H₂O + OI⁻

Step 2 (fast): H₂O₂ + OI⁻ -----> H₂O + O₂ + I⁻

The rate determining step in a reaction mechanism is also considered as slowest step.

Slowest step is also considered its highest activation energy in energy profile diagram.

In this case intermediate  (IO⁻) is formed.

Step 1 considered as a slowest step.

So,  Rate = K [H₂O₂][I⁻]

  Molecularity = 2

Develop a demonstration to show how mass is not the same thing as weight
pychu [463]

This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.

Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:

f_g = mg

where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.

Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars

g_E = 9.81 m/s^2\\g_F = 3.711 m/s^2

Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:

m*9.81 : m*3.711 \\\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx 9.81 \neq 3.711\\f_g E \neq f_g F\\

If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.
