Your answer is going to be b
Explanation:
A post-test or a mastery test can be unlocked if the learner who has the of it previously can complete the given tutorial with the test.
After the tutorial with the test, the learner will have to complete everything and if he passes the test with a completed answer then he will see that the Mastery Test has been unlocked. Also after the mastery test is unlocked it can be done again.
Answer:
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating
Explanation:
a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.
This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.
Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.
c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.
It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.
d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.
Here the error is small.
e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.
Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.
Answer:
H2O> NH3> CH4
Explanation:
According to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), bond angles and repulsion of electron pairs depends on the nature of electron pairs on the central atom of the molecule. Lone pairs cause more repulsion (and distortion of bond angles) than bond pairs). Lone pair- lone pair repulsion is greater than lone pair bond pair repulsion.
Water contains two lone pairs on oxygen hence it experiences the greatest repulsion. Ammonia has only one lone pair on nitrogen hence there is lesser repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs. Methane possess only bond pairs of electrons hence it has the least repulsion.
