Answer:

H2O> NH3> CH4

Explanation:

According to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), bond angles and repulsion of electron pairs depends on the nature of electron pairs on the central atom of the molecule. Lone pairs cause more repulsion (and distortion of bond angles) than bond pairs). Lone pair- lone pair repulsion is greater than lone pair bond pair repulsion.

Water contains two lone pairs on oxygen hence it experiences the greatest repulsion. Ammonia has only one lone pair on nitrogen hence there is lesser repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs. Methane possess only bond pairs of electrons hence it has the least repulsion.

A sample of hydrogen occupies a volume of 351 mL at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. What is the new volume if the temperatu
xeze [42]
Volume of Hydrogen V1 = 351mL 
Temperature T1 = 20 = 20 + 273 = 293 K 
Temperature T2 = 38 = 38 + 273 = 311 K 
We have V1 x T2 = V2 x T1 
So V2 = (V1 x T2) / T1 = (351 x 311) / 293 = 372.56 
Volume at 38 C = 373 ml

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? (Not sure if this is chemistry or not lol)
Leni [432]

Answer:

When white glue is in the bottle, there's not enough air inside the bottle to cause the water to evaporate to make the glue sticky. Basically, the bottle holds the glue from the air and keeps the glue from going everywhere.

Q Q 3. (08.02 MC)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: A volume of 455 mL from 0.550 M KBr solution can be made from 100.0 mL of 2.50 M KBr.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = ?,         M_{1} = 0.55 M

V_{2} = 100.0 mL,        M_{2} = 2.50 M

Formula used to calculate the volume of KBr is as follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.55 M \times V_{1} = 2.50 M \times 100.0 mL\\V_{1} = 455 mL

Thus, we can conclude that a volume of 455 mL from 0.550 M KBr solution can be made from 100.0 mL of 2.50 M KBr.
