Answer:

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly.Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves as depicted in the animation below.

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is valuable to many industries. Low percent yields can result in the loss of large amou

aev [14]

Using accurate measurements, using pure chemicals and performing the reaction under the most ideal conditions is important to get a valuable percent yield.

<h3>How we calculate the percent yield?</h3>

Percent yield of any chemical reaction is define as the ratios of the actual yield to the theoretical yield of the product and multiply by the 100.

To get the high percent yield or actual yield of any reaction, we have to perform the reaction under ideal condition because if we not use the standard condition then we get the low rate of reaction. Reactants should be present in the pure form as impurity make unwanted products and reduce the productivity of main product and accurate amount of reactants also important for the spontaneous reaction.

Hence, options (a), (b) & (c) are correct.

Write Lewis structures for the following molecules: (a) ICl, (b) PH3, (c) P4 (each P is bonded to three other P atoms), (d) H2S,

spin [16.1K]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure for the following molecules are shown below.

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'.

Now we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure for the following molecules.

(a) The given molecule is, $ICl$

As we know that iodine and chlorine have '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $ICl$ = 7 + 7 = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

(b) The given molecule is, $PH_3$

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $PH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

(c) The given molecule is, $P_4$

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $P_4$ = 4(5) = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 14 number of non-bonding electrons.

(d) The given molecule is, $H_2S$

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $H_2S$ = 6 + 2(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 4 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(e) The given molecule is, $N_2H_4$

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $N_2H_4$ = 2(5) + 4(1) = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(f) The given molecule is, $HClO_3$

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $HClO_3$ = 1 + 7 + 3(6) = 26

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 14 number of non-bonding electrons.

(g) The given molecule is, $COBr_2$

As we know that bromine has '7' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and carbon has '4' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $COBr_2$ = 4 + 6 + 2(7) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.
