B) One carbon atom forms a double bond with an oxygen atom and two single bonds with two hydrogen atoms

Let's eliminate some options.
Option A: quadruple bonds will most likely not occur between two carbon atoms. so option A is out.
Option B: One double bond with oxygen and two single bonds with hydrogen atoms will give all atoms the "noble gas" or "octet" configuration they desire. Option B is true.
Option C: Carbon is most likely not large enough to have more than eight valence electrons (hypervalent), so option C is out.
Option D: One carbon only has four valence electrons to donate, so the same problem exists as in option C, and the carbon atom will not achieve hypervalence. Option D is out.
Therefore, option B is correct.

Predict the signs of !iH, !).S, and !).G of the system for the following processes at 1 atm: (a) ammonia melts at - 60°C, (b) am
Elza [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Given,

Normal melting point of ammonia is -77.7 °C

In this process , ammonia melts at - 60°C  

Now , during the process of melting , ammonia in the solid phase changes to liquid phase, and this increases the number of particles , therefore , the sign of entropy would be positive . And since , the process is an endothermic process , hence , the change in enthalphy sign will be positive .

Even , the temperature of the ammonia is more than its normal melting point .

Therefore ,  

TΔS > ΔH

Hence ,

ΔG < 0

Therefore ,  

ΔH = Positive

ΔS = Positive  

ΔG = Negative.

(b)Given,

Normal melting point of ammonia is -77.7 °C

In this process , ammonia melts at -77.7 °C

Now , during the process of melting , ammonia in the solid phase changes to liquid phase, and this increases the number of particles , therefore , the sign of entropy would be positive . And since , the process is neither endothermic process nor exothermic process, hence , the change in enthalphy sign will be neutral / zero .

Hence ,

ΔG < 0

Therefore ,  

ΔH = 0

ΔS = Positive ΔG = Negative.

(c) Given,

Normal melting point of ammonia is -77.7 °C

In this process , ammonia melts at - 100°C  

Now , during the process of melting , ammonia in the solid phase changes to liquid phase, and this increases the number of particles , therefore , the sign of entropy would be positive . And since , the process is an endothermic process , hence , the change in enthalphy sign will be positive .

Even , the temperature of the ammonia is less than its normal melting point .

Hence ,

ΔG > 0

Therefore ,  

ΔH = Positive

ΔS = Positive  

ΔG = Negative.

Calculate the molality of a sugar solution that contains 3.94 g sucrose (C12H22O11) dissolved in 285 g water.
BaLLatris [955]
Molality= moles of solute /kg of solvent

moles of solute= mass/molar mass
moles of solute= 3.94 g / (342 g/mol)
moles of solute= 0.01 mol

molality= 0.01 mol / 0.285 kg
molality= 0.04 m

In a car crash, large accelerations of the head can lead to severe injuries or even death. A driver can probably survive an acce
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Velocity, u = 14.7 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that, a driver can probably survive an acceleration of 50 g that lasts for less than 30 ms, but in a crash with a 50 g acceleration lasting longer than 30 ms, a driver is unlikely to survive.

Let v is the highest speed that the car could have had such that the driver survived. Using a = -50 g and t = 30 ms

Using first equation of kinematics as :

v=u+at

In case of crash the final speed of the driver is, v = 0

0=u+at

-u=at

-u=-50\times 9.8\times 30\times 10^{-3}

u = 14.7 m/s

So, the highest speed that the car could have had such that the driver survived is 14.7 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
