Hello!

The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°

The structure of acrolein is shown in the figure below. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).

Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.

Have a nice day!

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.37 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r

svp [43]

Answer:

The new volume is 63583 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The initial volume of the balloon = 5.37 * 10^4 L

The initial pressure = 0.995 atm

The initial temperature = 32.0 °C = 305.15 K

The pressure decreased to 0.720 atm

The temperature decreased to -11.7 °C = 261.45 K

Step 2: Calculate the new volume

P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2/T2

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure = 0.995 atm

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 5.37 *10^4 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 305.15 K

⇒with P2 = the decreased pressure = 0.720 atm

⇒with V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with T2 = the decreased temperature : 261.45 K

(0.995 * 5.37*10^4)/305.15 = (0.720 * V2) / 261.45

V2 = 63583 L

The new volume is 63583 L

Mid-Ocean Ridges

Two examples of Mid-Ocean Ridges are the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise.

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges are mountain-like geographical features on the ocean floor. They usually line along the divergent boundaries of tectonic plates moving away from each other. This is because as the plates move in opposite direction, the vacuum in between the plates is filled by upwelling magma from the mantle. Usually the texture of the rocks that form these mountain ridges has bands. This is because, before the magma cools, the iron in the magma (due to its ferromagnetic property) aligns with the earths magnetic field. The earth magnetic flux flips over several 1000 years hence these bands orient themselves differently depending on the magnetic field orientation at the time they were formed.
