Answer:

A molecule is tetrahedral if the central atom has four bonds and no lone pairs.

Explanation:

A typical example is a molecule of methane (see image).

The electron pairs in the bonds repel the electrons in the other bonds, so they all try to get as far from each other as possible.

They can do this if the bonds point to the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of 109.5°.

A quantity of NaCl was dissolved in 100 cm of solution to obtain
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2.93g

Explanation:first, let us calculate the number of mole of NaCl present in the solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity = 0.5M

Volume = 100cm^3 = 100/1000 = 0.1L

Mole =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of NaCl = 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05mole

Now we can obtain the mass of NaCl as follows:

Molar Mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Mole of NaCl = 0.05mol

Mass of NaCl =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of NaCl = 0.05 x 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 2.93g

I need help with balancing equations I'm doing homework and idk what to do here can you give me the answers please lol
amm1812

It's pretty easy to balance equations! Basically you want to make sure that the number of each compound is equal on both sides of the arrow.

For example number one is

Fe + H2SO4 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + H2

A 3 in front of H2SO4 because there's a subscript of 3 on the right side.

Then a 3 in front of H2 because of the previous step.

Then add a 2 in front of Fe because of the 2 subscript in Fe2(SO4)3

Then add a 1 in front of Fe2(SO4)3 because you already have an equal number of each element.

<u>2</u>Fe + <u>3</u>H2SO4 -> <u>1</u>Fe2(SO4)3 + <u>3</u>H2

I hope this explanation helps! You should really do your homework because practice is everything when it comes to chemistry. You'll need to know how to do it for exams.

A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why things happen in the manner observed is a scientific
icang [17]
It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".
