CO₂ has 4 + 2(6) = 16 valence electrons

CO₂ have linear molecular structures with a 180° bond angle. CO₂ is nonpolar  because the individual bond dipoles cancel each other out

XeCl₂ has 8 + 2(7) = 22 valence electrons.

There are five pairs of electrons about the central Xe atom. The structure will be based  on a trigonal bipyramid geometry. The most stable arrangement of the atoms in XeCl₂ is  a linear molecular structure with a 180° bond angle. It is nonpolar because the Xe−Cl bond dipoles  and lone pairs around Xe are arranged in such a manner that they cancel each other out.

(b)

SCl₆ is nonpolar because it has 6 bonding pairs and no lone pairs, giving it an octahedral shape. When you draw the vectors, you can see that the resultant is 0, making it nonpolar.

SCl₄ on the other hand is polar because it has 4 bonding pairs and one lone pair, giving it a trigonal pyramidal shape.

SCl₂ is also polar due to reasons similar to those in the case of SCl₄.

If the earth was to exceed its weight the of people the population would then decrease because the environment couldnt sustain that many people the carbon would overwhelm oxygen......but its simply just a matter of natural resources (like food) more than anything else.

The pressure on a 250 ml gas sample is increased from 450 mmHg to STP,<br>what is the new volume? ​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

V₂  = 150 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of sample = 250 mL

Initial pressure = 450 mmHg (450 /760 = 0.6 atm)

Final pressure = standard = 1 atm

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.6 atm  × 250 mL = 1 atm × V₂

150 atm. mL = 1 atm × V₂

V₂  = 150 atm. mL/ 1 atm

V₂  = 150 mL

Choose the substance with the lowest boiling point.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

E. O2

Explanation:

All substances has a simple molecular structure, where between their molecules are held by van der Waals' forces. But C must be incorrect because between the H2O2 molecules, they are mainly held by hydrogen bonds on top of van der Waals' forces. Hydrogen bonds are stronger than van der Waals' forces, so more energy is required to separate the H2O2 molecules.

In structures A and D, the molecules are polar. Their van der Waals' forces are stronger than Cl2H2 and O2, which are non-polar.

Between the Cl2H2 and O2, O2 has a smaller molecular size. The van der Waals' forces between the O2 molecules are hence the weakest. Least amount of energy is required to break the intermolecular forces between the O2 molecules therefore it has the lowest boiling point.

Consider the combustion of octane (C8H18)
sesenic [268]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ --->  16CO₂  + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
 mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g
