Some benefits are that DDT helps us grow crops and keeps pests off our crops.

But DDT is harmful to the environment. If it gets into the water ways then if can harm fish and animals that eat the fish such as birds.

5Br−+BrO3−+6H+→3Br2+3H2O

sashaice [31]

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$5Br^-+BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow 3Br_2+3H_2O$

The expression for the rates of consumption of the reactants are:

The rate of consumption of $Br^-$ = $-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}$

The rate of consumption of $BrO_3^-$ = $-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}$

The rate of consumption of $H^+$ = $\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}$

The expression for the rates of formation of the products are:

The rate of consumption of $Br_2$ = $+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

The rate of consumption of $H_2O$ = $+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}$

Select the correct value for the indicated bond angle in each of the following compounds: O-S-O angle of SO2 F-B-F angle of BF3

Stels [109]

Answer:

(A) O-S-O bond angle of SO₂ molecule = 119°

(B) F-B-F bond angle of BF₃ molecule = 120°

(D) O-C-O bond angle of CO₂ molecule = 180°

(E) F-P-F bond angle of PF₃ molecule = 96.3°

(F) H-C-H bond angle of CH₄ molecule = 109.5°

Explanation:

Bond angle refers to the angle between two adjacent chemical bonds in a molecule. The bond angle is different for different molecular geometry.

The Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory predicts the molecular geometry and shape of the given molecule by the number of lone pairs on central atom and number of atoms bonded to central atom.

(A) SO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 1

Therefore, the shape of SO₂ molecule is bent and the O-S-O bond angle is 119°.

(B) BF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to B = 3

Number of lone pairs on B = 0

Therefore, the shape of BF₃ molecule is trigonal planar and the F-B-F bond angle is 120°.

(C) SCl₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 2

Therefore, the shape of SCl₂ molecule is bent and the Cl-S-Cl bond angle is 103°.

(D) CO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 2

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

Therefore, the shape of CO₂ molecule is linear and the O-C-O bond angle is 180°.

(E) PF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to P = 3

Number of lone pairs on P = 1

Therefore, the shape of PF₃ molecule is trigonal pyramidal and the F-P-F bond angle is 96.3°.

(F) CH₄ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 4

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

Therefore, the shape of CH₄ molecule is tetrahedral and the H-C-H bond angle is 109.5°.

Explain Rutherford Bohr model?

Liula [17]

Answer:

heya!!!

Explanation:

In atomic physics, the Rutherford–Bohr model or Bohr model, presented by Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913, is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons—similar to the structure of the Solar System, but with attraction provided by electrostatic forces in place of gravity.

Part 1: What is the final volume in milliliters when 0.730 L of a 44.8 % (m/v) solution is diluted to 23.3 % (m/v)?

Andre45 [30]

part 1 : the final volume : 1.404 L

part 2 : the initial concentration : 4.06 M

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Dilution is the process of adding a solvent to get a more dilute solution.

The moles(n) before and after dilution are the same.

Can be formulated :

M₁V₁=M₂V₂

M₁ = Molarity of the solution before dilution

V₁ = volume of the solution before dilution

M₂ = Molarity of the solution after dilution

V₂ = Molarity volume of the solution after dilution

part 1 :

M₁=44.8%

V₁=0.73 L

M₂=23.3%

$\tt V_2=\dfrac{M_1.V_1}{M_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{44.8\times 0.73}{23.3}\\\\V_2=1.404~L$

part 2 :

V₁=739 ml=0.739 L

V₂=1.5 L

M₂=2

$\tt M_1=\dfrac{M_2.V_2}{V_1}\\\\M_1=\dfrac{2\times 1.5}{0.739}\\\\M_1=4.06$
