The factors that affect geometry of a molecule are
> The number of bonding electron pairs around the central atom.
> The number of pairs of non-bonding ("lone pair") electrons around the central atom.
Answer:
The pressure in the gas is 656mmHg
Explanation:
In calculating the pressure of the gas;
step 1: convert the height of the mercury arm to mmHg
9.60cm = 96.0 mmHg
step 2: convert 752 torr to mmHg
I torr is 1 mmHg
752 torr = 752mmHg
Step 3: since the level of mercury in the container is higher than the level of mercury exposed to the atmosphere, we substrate the values to obtain our pressure.
So, 752mmHg - 96mmHg = 656mmHg
The pressure in the gas container is therefore 656mmHg.
N. B : if the mercury arm is in lower position, you add.
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.
Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.
Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).
