You and everything around you are made up of matter. What is matter made up of?

According to VSEPR theory, a molecule with the general formula AX2E2 (A is the central atom, X is the bonded atom and E is a lon

ratelena [41]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

An AX₂E₂ geometry is derived from an AX₄ parent geometry and is based upon 4 regions of electron density about the central element and defines a tetrahedral geometry and the geometry is bent angular.

An example is the water molecule (H₂O) with two covalent O - H bonds and two free pair electrons on the central oxygen element.

The high polarity of the oxygen-carbon bond in alcohols is what allows them to be soluble in water.

Anna11 [10]

This is false. An alcohol does indeed have a polar C-O single bond, but what we should really be focusing on is the extraordinarily polar O-H single bond. When oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen is bound to a hydrogen atom, there is a small (but not negligible) charge separation, where the eletronegative N, O, or F has a partial negative charge, and the H has a partial positive charge. Water has two O-H single bonds in it (structure is H-O-H). The partially negative charge on the O of the water molecule (specifically around the lone pair) can become attracted either a neighboring water molecule's partially positive H atom, or an alcohol's partially positive H atom. This is weak (and partially covalent) attraction is called a hydrogen bond. This is stronger than a typical dipole-dipole attraction (as would be seen between neighboring C-O single bonds), and much stronger than dispersion forces (between any two atoms). When the solvent (water) and the solute (the alcohol) both exhibit similar intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding being the most important in this case), they can mix completely in all proportions (i.e. they are miscible) in water.

g When aqueous solutions of and are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M is mixed

solong [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When aqueous solutions of NaCl and $Pb(NO_3)_2$ are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M NaCl is mixed with an excess of an aqueous solution of

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{ \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(1)
