Answer:
They reduce the bond angle to be slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle, approximately 104.45 degrees.
Explanation:
The unshared pair of electrons or lone pair electrons in order to have the minimum repulsion possible with each other pushes the other bonding pairs closer together making the bond angle smaller or bent.
The bond angle is slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle of 108 degrees, leaving the water molecule with a bent molecular geometry.
Answer:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the reaction temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift to the left and decreasing the reaction temperature causes a shift to the right.
Explanation:
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ⇌6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
We are told that the forward reaction is exothermic, meaning heat is removed from the reacting substance to the surroundings.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,
1. for an exothermic reaction, on increasing the temperature, there is a shift in equilibrium to the left and formation of the product is favoured.
2. if the temperature of the system is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to right and the formation of the reactants is favoured.
3. if the reaction temperature is kept constant, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to the right nor to the left.
Ice is constantly subliming to form a layer of water vapor
Answer:
Global Warming!
Explanation:
Greenhouse gases help keeping the Earth warm for example; Carbon dioxide, methane etc. But recently there has been too much pollution which produced more greenhouse gases like; carbon dioxide...Usually trees and plants would help in keeping the air clean by eliminating carbon dioxide but as we know trees are being cut down. Which increases the amount of CO2 (chemical formula of Carbon dioxide) and they capture more heat. Which causes the temperature to gradually increase in earth and ice caps to melt in Antarctica, and causes the water levels to rise.
