If the s and p sublevels of the highest main energy level of an atom are filled, how many

According to VSEPR theory what causes molecular shapes to form?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

C: the repulsion of electrons and electrons.

Explanation:

According to the VSEPR theory, molecular shapes adjust so that the electrons can be as far apart as possible due to electrons repelling each other, which would mean the only possible answer is C.

A chemist reacted 17.25 grams of sodium metal with an excess amount of chlorine gas. The chemical reaction that occurred is show

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: The actual yield of the product is 38.57 g

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of Na = 17.25 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of Na}=\frac{17.25g}{23g/mol}=0.75mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of Na produces 2 moles of NaCl

So, 0.75 moles of Na will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.75=0.75mol$ of NaCl

We know, molar mass of $NaCl$ = 58.44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass of NaCl}=(0.75mol\times 58.44g/mol)=43.83g$

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

$\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100$ ......(1)

Given values:

Percent yield of the product = 88 %

Theoretical value of the product = 43.83 g

Plugging values in equation 1:

$88\% =\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{43.83g}\times 100\\\\\text{Actual yield}=\frac{88\times 43.83}{100}=38.57g$

Hence, the actual yield of the product is 38.57 g

Rank these compounds by their expected boiling point? CH4 CH3Cl CH3OH? Lowest to highest; 10+ for the best explanation. Thank yo

docker41 [41]

Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.
