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°.

Use Boyle’s law to complete the following:
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 0.25 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 1 atm

V1 = 0.5 l

P2 =2 atm

V2 = ?

T = constant

Formula

          V1P1 = V2P2

Clear V2 from the formula

            V2 = V1P1/P2

Substitution

            V2 = (0.5)(1)/2  substitution

                  = 0.25 l       result

H2S (g) + O2(g) -> SO2+ H2O, how many grams of O2 are needed to make 25.0 g of SO2 (Hint: balance the equation first)
vekshin1

Answer:

Hello

The answer is 18,7(b)

Explanation:we don't know the value of o² so at first we should put (x)instead of gr of o²and then write 1molO²/32grO²×2mol SO²/3mol O²×64gr SO²/1molSO²=25 gr SO².and then just find the value of (x).

Nitric oxide (NO) can be formed from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen in two steps. In the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react
son4ous [18]

Answer:

ΔH  = - 272 kJ

Explanation:

We are going to use the fact that Hess law allows us to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction no matter if the reaction takes place in one step or in several steps. To do this problem we wll add two times the first step to second step as follows:

N2(g) +         3H2(g) →          2NH3(g)                 ΔH=−92.kJ  Multiplying by 2:      

2N2(g) +       6H2(g) →          4NH3(g)                        ΔH=− 184 kK

plus

4NH3(g) +     5O2(g) →          4NO(g) +6H2O(g)        ΔH=−905.kJ

__________________________________________________

2N2(g) +   6H2(g) + 5O2(g)→  4NO(g)  + 6H2O(g)      ΔH = (-184 +(-905 )) kJ

                                                                                     ΔH =    -1089 kJ

Notice how the intermediate NH3 cancels out.

As we can see this equation is for the formation of 4 mol NO, and we are asked to calculate the ΔH  for the formation  of one mol NO:

-1089 kJ/4 mol NO  x 1 mol NO =  -272 kJ (rounded to nearest kJ)

How many grams of CO₂ can be produced from the combustion of 2.76 moles of butane according to this equation: 2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂
Vilka [71]

Answer:

485.76 g of CO₂ can be made by this combustion

Explanation:

Combustion reaction:

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (g)

If we only have the amount of butane, we assume the oxygen is the excess reagent.

Ratio is 2:8. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore, 2.76 moles of butane must produce (2.76 . 8)/ 2 = 11.04 moles of CO₂

We convert the moles to mass → 11.04 mol . 44g / 1 mol = 485.76 g
