In ammonia, a central nitrogen atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Similarly, boron trifluoride has a central boron atom bon

ded to three fluorine atoms. However, ammonia is pyramidal and boron trifluoride is trigonal planar in shape. Which statement justifies this difference in
their structure?

A.The lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.

B.The lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.

C.The lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride stabilizes the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.

D.The lone pair of electrons in ammonia increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a pyramidal structure.

E.The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen in ammonia decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a
pyramidal structure.

Report the number 315.05 to 3 significant figures.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

315.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the given number has five significant figures as the zero is to the right of the first nonzero digit (3), if it is required to report it with three significant figures, it is necessary to "cut" it at the first five without any rounding since the subsequent zero is less than five.

Thus the number turns out:

315

Best regards.

hat is the percentage of water in the following compound? Answer using three significant figures. Sodium carbonate decahydrate,
BigorU [14]
You need to find the whole molar mass of the compound using the periodic table to add the values. 

Na2CO3= (2 x 23.0) + 12.0 + (3 x 16.0)= 106 g/mol
H2O= 10 x [ (2 x 1.01 ) + (16.0) ]= 180.2 g/mol

the total molar mass is 106 + 180.2 = 286.2 g/mol

the percentage of water you can find by doing "parts over the whole"

H2O%= 180.2 / 286.2 X 100= 63.0%

If one iron nail weighs 2.0 grams, what would be the mass of 6.022 x 10^23 nails?
Maru [420]

Answer:

1.2x10^{24}g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, it is possible to treat this problem by using a proportional factor which indicates one iron nail equals 2.0 grams:

\frac{2.00g}{1nail}

Now, for an amount of 6.022x10²³ nails, the corresponding mass will be:

6.022x10^{23}nail*\frac{2.00g}{1nail} \\\\1.2x10^{24}g

Best regards!
