7 0

Answer:

No, scientists did not accept Wegener's theory

Explanation:

In a book titled; "The Origin of Continents and Oceans", published in 1915, Wegener introduced his ideas about the theory of continental drift.

According to his idea, "all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions"(live science).

Though some of his ideas were correct, some of them were also quite wrong. Scientists rejected his idea because he did not detail any mechanism by which the continental drift occurs.

Which compounds are lewis acids? select all that apply. (ch3ch2)2hc+ cl3c− ch3nh2 bbr3?
alexandr402 [8]

The Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors due to the availability of vacant orbitals they accept electrons from the donor compounds.

  • (CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+} is a Lewis acid due to the unfilled valence shell on carbon atom (possessing positive charge) it accepts electron readily.
  • CCl_{3}^{-} is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of negative charge which represents that there are electrons available for donation.
  • CH_3NH_2 is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of lone pair on nitrogen which is easily donated to the acceptors.
  • BBr_3 is a Lewis acid due to the availability of vacant p-orbital on boron atom.

Hence, (CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+} and BBr_3 are Lewis acids.

How does the periodic table help in predicting the formula of a stable ionic compound?
marshall27 [118]
A. This is a FALSE statement because Metals in Group 1 form cations with a +1 charge and not -1. 

B. This is a TRUE statement. 

C. This is a FALSE statement because metals do not form anions i.e. negatively charged ions but form cations i.e. positively charged ions. 

D. This is a FALSE statement because metals do not form anions i.e. negatively charged ions but form cations i.e. positively charged ions.

sample of atmospheric gas collected at an industrial site is stored in a 250 mL amber glass bottle that has a pressure of 1.02 a
Nady [450]

Answer:- New pressure is 0.942 atm.

Solution:- The volume of the glass bottle would remain constant here and the pressure will change with the temperature.

Pressure is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. The equation used here is:

P_1T_2=P_2T_1

Where, T_1 and T_2 are initial and final temperatures, P_1 and P_2 are initial and final pressures.

T_1 = 20.3 + 273.15 = 293.45 K

T_2 = -2.0 + 273.15 = 271.15 K

P_1 = 1.02 atm

T_2  = ?

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for final pressure.

1.02atm(271.15K)=P_2(293.45K)

P_2=\frac{1.02atm*271.15K}{293.45K}

P_2 = 0.942 atm

So, the new pressure of the jar is 0.942 atm.
