Question 5: Causes of Molecular Shape (3 points)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. VSEPR theory assumes each atom molecule has a geometry to help minimize the repulsion between the electrons within the valence shell of the central atom.

B. Repulsion determines the molecular shape as the electrons are negativley charged. The negativity makes the atoms spread out as much as possible.

C. Lone electron pairs have greater repelling effects as they are closer to the nucleus of the central atom unlike bonding pairs.

A 9.79 mol sample of freon gas was placed in a balloon. Adding 3.50 mol of freon gas to the balloon increased its volume to 21.8
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

16.06 L was the initial volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

Initial moles of freon in ballon = n_1=9.79 mol

Initial volume of freon gas in ballon = V_1=?

Moles of freon gas added in the balloon = n = 3.50 mole

Final moles of freon in ballon = n_2=n_1+n=9.79 mol+3.50 mol=13.29 mol

Final volume of freon gas in ballon = V_2=21.8 L

Using Avogadro's law:

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2} ( at constant pressure and temperature)

V_1=\frac{V_2\times n_1}{n_2}=\frac{21.8 L\times 9.79 mol}{13.29 mol}=16.06L

16.06 L was the initial volume of the balloon.

The center on your school’s basketball team is 6 ft 10 in tall. How tall is the player in millimeters (mm)?
svp [43]

The answer is 6 ft 10 inches in millimeters (mm) is 0.833 ft.

Given,

The center of the school's basketball team is 6 ft 10 inches tall.

We have to convert the height of the player from feet and inches to feet.

Using the conversion factor,

1 ft = 12 inches

or, 12inches/ 1 ft

Converting 6ft 10 inches to ft, we get;

10 inches × 1 ft/ 12inches

= 0.833 ft

Therefore 6 ft 10 inches in millimeters (mm) is 0.833 ft.

Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer
Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

  • First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
  • Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
  • Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
  • If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
  • If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion (OH^-) at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
  • Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq) ......(1)

Oxidation : Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-  .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

Use the pop-up menus to label the following statements as either True of False.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1 True

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. False

Explanation:

1. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)  is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and is partially dissociated, forming hypochlorite. HOCl is considered a strong oxidizing agent responsible for the killing action of germs in chlorine solutions.

2. Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell, and is generally considered a weak acid. in a concentrated form, acetic acid can be corrosive.

3/4 . Methylene chloride is an organochloride compound with the formula CH2Cl2. It is  a colorless, volatile liquid with a moderately sweet aroma is widely used as a solvent. It is normally stable, non-flammable and non-explosive when mixed with air at temperatures below 100 °C, but its vapor is flammable only when present in relatively high concentrations of about 14% to 22% in air. Research shows that it is very much possibly carcinogenic, and it has been linked to cancer of the lungs, liver, pancreas, breast cancer and salivary gland cancer in laboratory animals.

5. Laboratory and medical waste are not to be disposed in the trash with regular wastes, as they are potentially toxic. Special disposal methods and agencies exists to take away such wastes.
