Answer:

The energy profile for rotation about the C-C bond in ethane is shown in the image, along with the Newman projections of the corresponding ethane conformer.

Explanation:

If you see the ethane molecule (second image) from the C-C bond axis (third image), as in the Newman projections, it's easy to draw an angle between one of the hydrogen atoms of the visible carbon, the carbon itself, and one of the hydrogens of the hidden carbon.

When you make a rotation about the C-C bond, the angle between those hydrogens will change. If you start with an eclipsed conformation, with each hydrogen of the hidden C exactly behind the hydrogens of the visible C, the angle will be 0°, or also 120° or 240°, as this rotations will be equivalent. On the other hand, if the angle is 60° (or 180°, or 300°), you will have a staggered conformation. The eclipsed conformation is less stable than the staggered one, because the interactions between hydrogens will be bigger (the repulsion between their electrons), and because of that the eclipsed conformations will be found in the maxima, while the staggered one will be found in the minima.

Answer:

The second student is right.

Explanation:

The coyote feed on not only phalaropes but many other organisms present in the environment for its survival. There are many other organisms present in the ecosystem such as mice, squirrel, cactus fruit etc. The coyote feeds on phalaropes, the phalaropes feeds on brine shrimp and the brine shrimp feeds on algae for its survival so in this way the ecosystem moves in the forward direction. The coyote feeds on phalaropes so the energy that is present in phalaropes transferred into coyote which only 10 % while the remaining is released in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy.

Wear _______________________ when handling batteries, because they can explode or leak.
Basile [38]

The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.

Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).

Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:  

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).  

Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

What is the number of atoms per unit cell for each metal?
Sav [38]
In the question, the number of atoms per unit cell is required for:
A) Polonium (Po)
In polonium, the structure is simple cubic, meaning there are 8 corner atoms, which add up to one atom per unit cell.

B) Manganese (Mn)
The structure of the Mn can be considered to be a body centered cubic (BCC) and the number of atoms for this is 8 corner atoms and 1 central atoms, making a total of 2 atoms per unit cell.

C) Silver (Ag)
Silver has a face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell structure, where there are 8 corner atoms and 6 atoms on the faces, so there are a total of 4 atoms per unit cell.
