Answer:  A) Less than 109.5°

Explanation: The electron pair geometry of a molecule is tetrahedral , which means the number of electrons is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3. and the bond angle will be 109.5°.

But as one lone pair of electrons and three bonding pairs are present, the fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the bond angle will decrease from 109.5° and molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

As in ammonia molecule, the bond angle reduces to 107° due to the presence of lone pair of electron in tetrahedral geometry.

A six row combin harvests 266 pounds of corn per min. How many bushels of corn does it harvest per hour? (Note: 1 Bu = 56 Lbs) R
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, you can apply the following formula:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{a*b}{c}

In this case you can apply it in the following way: if 56 pounds is equal to 1 bushel, 266 pounds to how many bushels is it?

x=\frac{266 pounds*1 bushel}{56 pounds}

x=4.75

This is, a six row combin harvests 4.75 bushels of corn per min.

So, being 1 hour equal to 60 minutes, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 minute a six-row harvester harvests , in 60 minutes how many bushels of corn it harvests?

bushels of corn=\frac{60 minutes*4.75 bushels of corn}{1minute}

bushels of corn=  285

<u><em> The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.</em></u>

If 34.7 g of AgNO₃ react with 28.6 g of H₂SO₄ according to this UNBALANCED equation below, how many grams of Ag₂SO₄ could be for
Luba_88 [7]

The  number  of grams   of Ag2SO4  that could be formed  is   31.8  grams



    <u><em> calculation</em></u>

Balanced   equation is  as below

2 AgNO3 (aq)  + H2SO4(aq)  →  Ag2SO4 (s)   +2 HNO3 (aq)


  • Find  the  moles  of  each reactant by use  of  mole= mass/molar mass  formula

that is  moles of  AgNO3= 34.7 g / 169.87  g/mol= 0.204 moles

             moles of  H2SO4 =  28.6  g/98  g/mol  =0.292  moles

  • use the  mole  ratio to determine the moles of  Ag2SO4

   that is;

  •    the mole ratio of  AgNo3 : Ag2SO4 is  2:1 therefore  the  moles of Ag2SO4=  0.204  x1/2=0.102 moles

  • The moles  ratio of H2SO4  : Ag2SO4  is  1:1  therefore  the moles of Ag2SO4 = 0.292  moles

 

  •      AgNO3  is the limiting reagent therefore  the moles of   Ag2SO4 = 0.102  moles

<h3>     finally  find  the mass  of Ag2SO4  by use of    mass=mole  x molar mass  formula</h3>

that  is  0.102   moles  x  311.8  g/mol= 31.8 grams
