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°.

Ppredict the identity of the precipitate in the below reaction:<br><br> BaCl2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) →
Annette [7]

Answer:  The precipitate formed is BaSO_4

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid or precipitated form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.  

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.  

The balanced chemical equation is:

K_2SO_4(aq)+BaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2KCl(aq)

Determine the heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22 degrees celsius to 39 degrees celsius.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Explanation:

Q=mc\Delta T

Where:

Q = heat absorbed  or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have mass of copper = m = 25.3 g

Specific heat of copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

ΔT  = 39°C - 22°C = 17°C

Heat absorbed by the copper :

Q=25.3 g\times 0.385 J/g^oC\times 17^oC=165.59 J

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Given that sodium chloride is 39.0% sodium by mass, how many grams of sodium chloride are needed to have 100.mg of Na present? G
seraphim [82]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sodium chloride solution present is 0.256 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

39.0 % of sodium in sodium chloride solution

This means that 39.0 grams of sodium is present in 100 grams of sodium chloride solution

Mass of sodium given = 100 mg = 0.1 g     (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Applying unitary method:

If 39 grams of sodium metal is present in 100 grams of sodium chloride solution

So, if 0.1 grams of sodium metal will be present in = \frac{100}{39}\times 0.1=0.256g of sodium chloride solution.

Hence, the mass of sodium chloride solution present is 0.256 grams.

Is kp or kc larger (both at 300 k) for the reaction 2 nh3(g) ⇀↽ n2(g) + 3 h2(g) ? 1. they are both the same. 2. kc is larger. 3.
fgiga [73]
The equation is 2 NH3 (g) ⇀↽ N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 
Difference in the number of moles delta n = ((3 + 1) - 2) = 4 - 2 = 2 
We have an equation Kp= Kc (R x T) ^ (delta n); R is constant and T = 300 K 
Kp / Kc = (R x T) ^2 Based on the temperature value (300 K), we can conclude that Kp is Larger.
