Classify each of the following substances:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid

A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.

In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.

Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).

Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.

A piece of glass is immersed in a liquid. It proceeds to float on the liquid's surface. This shows that the density of the glass
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: b) Less dense

Explanation:

Differences in density is one reason objects float or sink.

An object more dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will sink, while objects less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will float to the surface.

But objects floats at constant level if the density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed; it neither rises nor sinks in the fluid in this case.

Read the scenario and then answer the question.
Dvinal [7]

Elias could be standing on the transform boundary.

Answer: Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past one another. At change limits lithosphere is neither made nor devastated. Many change limits are found on the ocean bottom, where they associate fragments of veering mid-sea edges. California's San Andreas issue is a transform boundary.

Transform boundaries are regions where the Earth's plates move past one another, scouring along the edges. Every one of these three sorts of plate limit has its own specific kind of flaw (or break) along which movement happens. Transforms are strike-slip issues. There is no vertical movement—just horizontal.

How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 15
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

15 protons

Explanation:

The atomic number always equals the number of protons inside the nucleus, so if the atomic number is 15, that means 15 protons are present.

Which of the following equations can be used to determine the change in enthalpy of a system? A. `DeltaH_"reaction"=DeltaH_"prod
Nostrana [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H^o

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
