4 0

Answer:

H₂S; CO₂; SiH₄

Explanation:

London dispersion forces are larger in molecules that are large and have more atoms or electrons.

A. H₂O or H₂S

H₂S. S is below O in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.

B. CO₂ or CO

CO₂. CO₂ has more atoms. It is also linear, so the molecules can get close to each other and maximize the attractive forces.

C. CH₄ or SiH₄

CH₄. Si is below C in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.

. How many milliliters of 0.20 M HCl are needed to exactly neutralize 40. milliliters of 0.40 M KOH

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$V_{HCl}=80mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reactants we identify the following chemical reaction:

$KOH+HCl\rightarrow KCl+H_2O$

Thus, we evidence a 1:1 molar ratio between KOH and HCl, therefore, for the complete neutralization we have equal number of moles, that in terms of molarities and volumes become:

$n_{HCl}=n_{KOH}\\\\M_{HCl}V_{HCl}=M_{KOH}V_{KOH}$

Hence, we compute the volume of HCl as shown below:

$V_{HCl}=\frac{M_{KOH}V_{KOH}}{M_{HCl}} =\frac{0.40M*40mL}{0.20M} \\\\V_{HCl}=80mL$

Best regards.

How is beryllium similar to calcium?<br>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.

In cucumbers, green skin (G) is dominant to striped skin (g). If a farmer crosses a heterozygous (hybrid) cucumber with a homozy

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Half will be green and half will be striped

Explanation:

Given green skin (G) is dominant to striped skin (g).

Cucumber 1 : Heterozygous (Gg)

Cucumber 2 : Homozygous striped (gg)

When Gg X gg :

G g

g Gg gg

Half of the offspring will have Gg genotype so they will be green. Other half will have gg genotype so they will be striped.
