Predict the approximate molecular geometry around each carbon atom of acetonitrile. A central carbon atom is connected to a seco

nd carbon atom through a single bond and to a nitrogen atom through a triple bond. The outer carbon atom is connected to three hydrogen atoms. The nitrogen atom has one lone pair of electrons. The carbon atom in CH3 is: trigonal planar linear trigonal pyramidal tetrahedral bent The nitrile carbon atom ( C≡N ) is: trigonal pyramidal bent tetrahedral trigonal planar linear

Answer:

The CH₃ carbon atom has tetrahedral geometry and the nitrile carbon atom has linear geometry

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory, in an acetonitrile:

The outer carbon atom CH₃, which is connected to three hydrogen atoms and one central carbon atom, has 4 bond pairs of electrons and zero lone pair. Therefore, outer carbon atom CH₃ has a TETRAHEDRAL geometry.

The nitrile carbon atom (C≡N), which forms a single bond with the outer CH₃ carbon atom and triple bond with the nitrogen atom, has two bond pairs and zero lone pairs.

Therefore, nitrile carbon atom has a LINEAR geometry.

How many grams of a solution that is 50% by weight NaOH
kkurt [141]

Answer:

12 g

Explanation:

We want to prepare 1 L of a 0.15 M NaOH solution. The moles of NaOH required are:

0.15 mol/L × 1 L = 0.15 mol

The molar mass of NaOH is 40.00 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.15 mol is:

0.15 mol × (40.00 g/mol) = 6.0 g

The starting solution is 50% by weight. The mass of solution that contains 6.0 g of NaOH is:

6.0 g NaOH × (100 g solution/50 g NaOH) = 12 g solution

Drag the slider from January to December. Based on what you observe, do you think Barcelona has large temperature changes throug
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, I think that Barcelona has large temperature changes throughout the year because Barcelona has minimum temperature of 33°F in winter season and maximum temperature of 88°F in summer season. In Barcelona, the summers are short, warm, and humid while on the other hand, the winters in Barcelona are long, cold, and partly cloudy. The temperature typically varies from 40°F to 83°F and is rarely goes below 33°F or above 88°F.

Would the amount of solid magnesium increase decrease or stay the same if you added a strong acid to it?
Vlada [557]
Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)

so the amount of solid magnesium decrease  by addition of strong acid to it.

A 13.58 g sample of a compound contains 8.67 g of iron, Fe, 1.60 g of phosphorus, P, and oxygen, O. Calculate the empirical
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Fe_3PO_4

Explanation:

To do this, we find the moles of each element. We get around 0.155 moles of Fe, 0.051 moles of P, and 0.206 moles of O. We then divide each one by the smallest one (which is 0.051 moles of P). We then get 3 for Fe, 1 for P, and 4 for O. This correlates to the empirical formula of the compound.
