Answer:

b. A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs indictates that the molecule will be polar unless its molecular geometry is linear or square planar. In the case of H2S, its shape is bent due to the lone pair and it is a slightly polar molecule.

Elanso [62]
Data:
mass = 67 Kg → 147.71 pounds

Solving:

\frac{3}{100}*147.71 =  \frac{443.13}{100} \approx \boxed{4.43\:pounds\:of\:body\:fat}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

What is the Brønsted-Lowry base in this reaction: NH2−+CH3OH→NH3+CH3O−?(1 point)CH3O−cap c cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the negat
Fynjy0 [20]

In the reaction as follows: NH2- + CH3OH → NH3 + CH3O−, NH2- is the Brønsted-Lowry base.

BRØNSTED-LOWRY BASE:

  • According to Bronsted-Lowry definition of a base and acid, a base is substance that accepts an hydrogen ion or proton (H+) while an acid is a substance that donates a proton.

  • According to this reaction given as follows: NH2 + CH3OH → NH3+ CH3O-

  1. NH2- is a reactant that accepts a hydrogen ion (H+) to become NH3+
  2. NH3+CH3OH is a reactant that donates hydrogen ion (H+)

  • Since NH2- accepts a proton, this means that in the reaction as follows: NH2 + CH3OH → NH3 + CH3O−, NH2- is the Brønsted-Lowry base.
