Answer: 7σ +3π

Explanation:

Cumulene has its formular to be C4H4. Structurally it is composed of 4 carbon to Hydrogen single bonds and 3 double bonds.

It is worthy of note that in the field of chemistry:

A double bond is made up of 1σ bond and 1π bond.

A single bond is made up of 1σ bond.

Therefore the structure of Cumulene contains:

4 single bonds = 4σ

3 double bonds = 3 (σ + π )

4σ + 3σ +3π = 7σ +3π

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.

The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.

Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension.

What would happen to the rate of a reaction with rate law rate = k [NO]^2[H2] if

Ede4ka [16]

The rate of a reaction would be one-fourth.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Rate law-r₁ = k [NO]²[H2]

Required

The rate of a reaction

Solution

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

Can be formulated:

Reaction: aA ---> bB

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{v~=~-\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}}}}$

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{v~=~+\frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}}}}$

The concentration of NO were halved, so the rate :

$\tt r_2=k[\dfrac{1}{2}No]^2[H_2]\\\\r_2=\dfrac{1}{4}k.[No]^2[H_2]\\\\r_2=\dfrac{1}{4}r_1$

Find the molality of the solution if 42 grams of lithium chloride (LiCl) are dissolved in 3.6 kg of water.

omeli [17]

The molality is calculated using the following rule:
molality = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

From the periodic table:
molar mass of lithium = 6.941 gm
molar mass of chlorine = 35.453 gm

molar mass of LiCl = 6.941 + 35.453 = 42.394 gm
number of moles found in 42 gm = mass / molar mass = 42 / 42.394 = 0.99

molality = 0.99 / 3.6 = 0.275 m
