Answer:

eg=linear, mg=linear

Explanation:

First of all, it must be stated that most triatomic molecules are either linear or bent. This depends on the electron geometry of the molecule and the number of bonding groups, multiple bonds and lone pairs present.

CO2 contains four regions of electron density and two bonding groups. For a specie containing two bonding groups, a linear molecular geometry is expected with an angle of 180°.

For a specie having two bonding groups and no lone pairs with multiple bonds, the expected electron geometry is also linear.

How do the orbits of a comet and earth compare?

TiliK225 [7]

Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.

what pressure is generated when 5 mol of ethane is stored in a volume of 8 dm 3 at 25°C? Base calculations on each of the follow

Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) 40,75 atm

b) 30,11 atm

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas Equation is an equation that describes the behavior of the ideal gases:

PV = nRT

where:

P = pressure [atm]
V = volume [L]
n = number of mole of gas [n]
R= gas constant = 0,08205 [atm.L/mol.°K]
T=absolute temperature [°K]

Note: We can express this values with other units, but we must ensure that the units used are the same as those used in the gas constant.

The truncated virial equation of state, is an equation used to model the behavior of real gases. In this, unlike the ideal gas equation, other parameters of the gases are considered as the intermolecular forces and the space occupied by the gas

$\frac{Pv}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{v}$

where:

v is the molar volume [L/mol]
B is the second virial coefficient [L/mol]
P the pressure [atm]
R the gas constant = 0,08205 [atm.L/mol.°K]

a) Ideal gas equation:

We convert our data to the adecuate units:

n = 5 moles

V = 3 dm3 = 3 L

T = 25°C = 298°K

We clear pressure of the idea gas equation and replace the data:

PV = nRT ..... P = nRT/V = 5 * 0,08205 * 298/3 =40,75 atm

b) Truncated virial equation:

We convert our data to the adecuate units:

n = 5 moles

V = 3 dm3 = 3 L

T = 25°C = 298°K

B = -156,7*10^-6 m3/mol = -156,7*10^-3 L/mol

We clear pressure of the idea gas equation and replace the data:

$\frac{Pv}{RT} = 1 + \frac{B}{v} ...... P = (1 + \frac{B}{v}) \frac{RT}{v}$

and v = 3 L/5 moles = 0,6 L/mol

$P = (1 + \frac{-156,7*10^{-3} }{0,6} ) \frac{0,08205*298}{0,6} = 30,11 atm$

Which of the following is true for balancing equations?

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

Explanation:

The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
