The C2-C3 single bond in butane freely rotates at room temperature, see equation (1) below. In contrast, the C2-C3 single bond i

n the butenyl cation, equation (2), has a high energy barrier for rotation and does not rotate at room temperature. Use structures to explain why the C2-C3 rotational barrier in butenyl cation is so high.

Answer: Rotation occurs at single bonds that are sigma bonds. Rotational barrier is the amount of  activation energy required to covert rotamer to another by rotation that occurs around the sigma bond(C-C single bond). Due to the presence of steric hindrance that is the nonbonding interaction effects the reactivity of ions and molecules, activation energy increases. So the rotational barrier in butenyl cation is high.

Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.
mamaluj [8]

Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3 but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be sp^2.

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be sp^3.

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be sp^3d.

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be sp^3d^2.

How does velocity and mass affect momentum?
ollegr [7]

Velocity and mass are directly proportional to the quantity of momentum by:

p = mv. Therefore, and increase in either velocity or mass will lead to an increase in momentum and vice versa. Momentum during a reaction is always conserved, meaning that the mass and initial velocity before a reaction will always be equal to the change in mass and velocity produced after the reaction. Kinetic energy after a reaction, however, is not always conserved. For example if a fast moving vehicle collided with a stationary vehicle, and moved together, the overall kinetic energy would be after the reaction, as a heaver mass would be moved by the same velocity causing a decrease in kinetic energy.

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but in physics this is how it is understood.

When a person in the hospital is given fluids intravenously, the fluid is typically a saline (salt) solution with about the same
Sati [7]

Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

  • <u>Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body  tissues including  the red blood cells. </u>
  • Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
  • <em>Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling. </em>
  • But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , <em>This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. </em>
  • Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. <u>This will not cause swelling.</u>
  • But too much of salt is also not recommended.

What is the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2? *​
olga55 [171]

Answer: 9.68 x 10^10 grams.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of CO2 = ?

Number of molecules of CO2 = 2.2x10^9 molecules

Molar mass of CO2 = ? (let unknown value be Z)

For the molar mass of CO2: Atomic mass of Carbon = 12; Oxygen = 16

= 12 + (16 x 2)

= 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (Mass of CO2 in grams/Molar mass)

2.2x10^9 molecules = Z/44g/mol

Z = 2.2x10^9 molecules x 44g/mol

Z = 9.68 x 10^10g

Thus, the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2 is 9.68 x 10^10 grams.
