Determine the molecular geometry about the left carbon atom in ch3co2ch3.
Elanso [62]

Molecular geometry about the left carbon atom in CH₃CO₂CH₃ is tetrahedral.

The geometry around left carbon that is CH₃ is tetrahedral.

As the hybridization around left carbon is sp³ that shows its geometry should be tetrahedral and as there are 4 ligands around carbon and there is no lone pair present so the geometry is tetrahedral. So, the molecular geometry about the left carbon atom in CH₃CO₂CH₃ is tetrahedral.

How many moles of sulfur are in 53.7 grams of sulfur?
PolarNik [594]
NO.OF.MOLES= MASS/ATOMIC MASS
THE ATOMICITY OF SULPHUR IS 8 AND ITS MASS NUMBER IS 32.
SO, THE ATOMIC MASS IS 256
NO.OF.MOLES= 53.7/256
= 537/2560
= 0.2097

Compare the rates of effusion for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases
Airida [17]
According to Grahams law the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular weight. The rate of diffusion is the measure of rate at which two gases mix. From this law we can say that for the two gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the rate of effusion of carbon monoxide is greater than that of carbon dioxide, this is because carbon monoxide is lighter (28 g) compared to carbon dioxide (44 g).

16. What is a pure substance formed when two or more different elementscombine called?A. compoundB. moleculeC. element
Lana71 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Compound. Option A is correct

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
