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.

Your experiment requires 150 mL of 7.7 M NaOH. How many grams of NaOH will you need?
Elodia [21]
You have molarity and you have volume. Use the formula :
Molarity(M)= Moles(N)/Liter(L)            to get the solution. 
150 ml= .150 L
7.7 = N/.150
N=.1.155 moles of NaOH.
 And since you know the moles, use the molar mass to figure out the grams.
<span> (40g/mol NaOH) x (1.155mol) =  
46.2 g of NaOH.</span>

The permanent electric dipole moment of the water molecule 1H2O2 is 6.2 * 10-30 C m. What is the maximum possible torque on a wa
stellarik [79]

Answer:

3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

Explanation:  

When placed in an external electric filed, an electric dipole experiences a torque. and this torque is represented mathematically with the equation:

torque (τ) = dipole moment vector (P) x electric field vector (E)

τ = P. E . sin θ

where θ is the angle between the water molecule and the electric field, which in this case is 90° (because this is where the torque is maximum)

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . sin90

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . 1

solve for τ

τ = 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

the maximum possible torque on the water molecule is therefore 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm
