Answer:

C. BH_3

Explanation:

The VSEPR is known as the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. The VSEPR theory determines the total number of electron pairs (TEP) surrounding the central atom of a species. The TEP consists of the bond pairs (BP) and lone pairs (LP). In this model, all the electron pairs (like charges) will orient themselves in such a way as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them. These repulsions determine the geometry of the covalent bonds around the central atom.

In the options given, all the molecules have identical geometry except BH_3. This is as a result of the absence of a lone pair on the BH_3 compound.

If 2,035 cal of heat is added to a 500.0 g sample of water at 35.0°C, what is the final
Lynna [10]

Answer:

39.1 °C

Explanation:

Recall the equation for specific heat:

q=mc \Delta T\\

Where q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat of the substance (in this case water), and delta T is the change in temperature.

You should know that the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g/C.

Using the information in the question:

2035=500(1)(T-35)\\2035=500T-17500\\500T=19535\\T=39.07

The final temperature is about 39.1 °C.

What volume of water is produced when 38.5 g of ethanol reacts with oxygen at 500°C at 1.75 atm?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

90.99 or 91.0

Explanation:

Using the balanced equation, you convert 38.5g of ethanol to moles of water. From there, you plug the values into the Ideal Gas Equation: PV=nRT.

Which atom would form a cation?<br> F<br> Na<br> N<br> P
sineoko [7]

Answer:

I believe Na

Explanation:

Copper, because it is the only metal out of all of them.

Therefore copper is the only element that can loose electrons to have a positive charge, it is the most likely to become a cation.

51.7ml at 27 Celsius and 90kpa to stp
never [62]
STP is the abbreviation of standard condition for temperature and pressure which is 273.15K temperature and 1.013× 10^5 Pa pressure. Since the pressure and temperature changes, I assume the question would ask about the result of the volume. The temperature used in ideal gas should be Kelvin, so 27 Celcius would be 300.15K.
The calculation would be
PV=T
V=T/P

V2/V1= T2*P1/T1*P2
V2/V1=273.15K*  90^10^3Pa/ 300.15K *  1.013× 10^5 Pa
V2= 0.81904 * 51.7ml
V2= 42.34ml
