Answer :  The correct option is, (B) no double bonds.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

As we are given that the structure of the compound containing 1 carbon and 4 chlorine atoms.

Thus, the molecule is, CCl_4

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CCl_4 = 4 + 4(7) = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 24 number of non-bonding electrons.

From the Lewis-dot structure we conclude that there are 4 single bonds are surrounding the central atom of this ion there is no double or triple bonds are present.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) no double bonds.

A sample of gas occupies 10.0 L at 240°C under a pressure of
NISA [10]

Answer: 1090°C

Explanation: According to combined gas laws

(P1 × V1) ÷ T1 = (P2 × V2) ÷ T2

where P1 = initial pressure of gas = 80.0 kPa

V1 = initial volume of gas = 10.0 L

T1 = initial temperature of gas = 240 °C = (240 + 273) K = 513 K

P2 = final pressure of gas = 107 kPa

V2 = final volume of gas = 20.0 L

T2 = final temperature of gas

Substituting the values,

(80.0 kPa × 10.0 L) ÷ (513 K) = (107 kPa × 20.0 L) ÷ T2

T2 = 513 K × (107 kPa ÷80.0 kPa) × (20.0 L ÷ 10.0 L)

T2 = 513 K × (1.3375) × (2)

T2 = 1372.275 K

T2 = (1372.275 - 273) °C

T2 = 1099 °C

Lab Report
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The purpose of the experiment is to see how water of different temperature and salinity affect the density.

Explanation:

Temperature and salinity directly affect the density of the water. Water of low temperature is more dense than water of high temperature, BUT, (fresh)water with no salt is less dense than (sea)water with more salt, so temperature and salinity change density of water.

What is the relationship between temperature and volume?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Charles's law states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its temperature on the kelvin scale when the pressure is held constant

The volume of a given gas sample is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure (Charles's law). The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law)
