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.

What is the Dependent variable?
horsena [70]

Explanation:

Just like an independent variable, a dependent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is something that depends on other factors. For example, a test score could be a dependent variable because it could change depending on several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it. Usually when you are looking for a relationship between two things you are trying to find out what makes the dependent variable change the way it does.

If I have 340 mL of a 1.5 M NaBr solution, what will the concentration be if I add 560 mL more water to it?
ipn [44]

Answer:

0.5667 M ≅ 0.57 M.

Explanation:

It is known that the no. of millimoles of a solution before dilution is equal to the no. of millimoles of the solution after the dilution.

It can be expressed as:

(MV) before dilution = (MV) after dilution.

M before dilution = 1.5 M, V before dilution = 340 mL.

M after dilution = ??? M, V after dilution = 340 mL + 560 mL = 900 mL.

∴ M after dilution = (MV) before dilution/(V) after dilution = (1.5 M)(340 mL)/(900 mL) = 0.5667 M ≅ 0.57 M.

how much energy has your body used, in joules, if your health device indicates that 450 calories were burned during your workout
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Calories burned = 450 calories

Find:

Total energy consumed

Computation:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

So,

450 calories = 4.184 × 450

450 calories = 1,882.8 joules

Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules
