Oxygen dichloride molecule consists  of an oxygen atom and two chlorine atoms. According to the VSEPR theory, the 3-D shape of the compound is bent.

There are 6 valence electrons in the oxygen atom and each chlorine atom has 1 valence electrons. Therefore, there are 8 valence electrons or 4 pairs of valence electrons.

According to VSEPR theory, due repulsion between 4 pairs of valence electrons, bond angle between two O-Cl bonds becomes 110 degrees and the shape of the molecule of the compound becomes bent.

Before the battery in the car is jumped, the individuals notice the hook-ups on the battery are corroded by acid. what substance
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Baking soda

Explanation:

Due to its neutralizing properties, sodium bicarbonate can be used to counteract the acid corrosion of car batteries. To use baking soda, in this case, be sure to disconnect the battery terminals before cleaning. Make a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water and apply with a damp cloth to rub the corrosion of the battery terminal. After cleaning and reconnecting the terminals, clean them with petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion.

A balloon full of air has a volume of 1.00L at a temperature of 23 °C. What is the balloon's volume at 33°C?
igomit [66]

Answer:

V2= 1.03L

Explanation:

Start off with what you are given.

V^1: 1.00L

T^1: 23°C

V^2?

T^2: 33°C

If you know your gas laws, you have to utilise a certain gas law called Charles' Law:

V^1/T^1 = V^2/T^2

Remember to convert Celsius values to Kelvin whenever you are dealing with gas problems. This can be done by adding 273 to whatever value in Celsius you have.

(23+273 = 296)     (33+273 = 306)

Multiply crisscross

1.00/296= V^2/306

296V^2 = 306

Dividing both sides by 296 to isolate V2, we get

306/296 = 1.0337837837837837837837837837838

V2= 1.03L
