Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Shape
The formula for water is H-O-H.
The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.
Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.
(b) Chemical magnet
The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.
This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).
The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.
Answer:
992.302 K
Explanation:
V(rms) = 750 m/s
V(rms) = √(3RT / M)
V = velocity of the gas
R = ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = temperature of the gas
M = molar mass of the gas
Molar mass of CO₂ = [12 + (16*2)] = 12+32 = 44g/mol
Molar mass = 0.044kg/mol
From
½ M*V² = 3 / 2 RT
MV² = 3RT
K = constant
V² = 3RT / M
V = √(3RT / M)
So, from V = √(3RT / M)
V² = 3RT / M
V² * M = 3RT
T = (V² * M) / 3R
T = (750² * 0.044) / 3 * 8.314
T = 24750000 / 24.942
T = 992.302K
The temperature of the gas is 992.302K
Note : molar mass of the gas was converted from g/mol to kg/mol so the value can change depending on whichever one you use.
The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:
- <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
- <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
- <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
- <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
- <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
I’m pretty sure true, just not your skull at birth hehe. hope this helps :)
