Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The electron geometries of water and ammonia are both based on a tetrahedron. The central atom in ammonia is nitrogen which is surrounded by four electron pairs; three bond pairs and one lone pair. In water, the central atom is oxygen surrounded by four electron pairs also; two bond pairs and two lone pairs. The presence of four electron pairs on the central atom of each molecule means that their electron geometries are both tetrahedral according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.

However, due to the presence of lone pairs, the molecular geometry of water is bent(angular) while the molecular geometry of ammonia is trigonal pyramidal.

Use the kinetic energy equation to explain why speed has a greater impact on kinetic energy than mass.

Lerok [7]

Answer: <em>Hopefully this helps! sorry if not. :))</em>

<em>Speed has a greater impact on mass because its increases in velocity have an exponentially greater impact on translational kinetic energy because kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. Doubling an object's mass would only double its kinetic energy, however doubling its momentum would quadruple its velocity.</em>

Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidit

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Explanation:

Volume of NaOH = 1.7 ml = 0.0017 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.0811 M

Moles of NaOH = n

$0.0811 M=\frac{n}{0.0017 L}$

n = 0.0001378 mol

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

According to reaction, 2 mol of NaOH neutralize 1 mol of sulfuric acid.

Then 0.0001378 mol of NaOH will neutralize:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.0001378 mol=6.8935\times 10^{-5} mol$ of sulfuric acid.

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample: x

$x=\frac{6.8935\times 10^{-5}}{0.02 L}=0.0034467 mol/L$

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

18. Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?

joja [24]

<h3>your query : </h3>

Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?

Answer:

b. Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce

glucose is the incorrect statement here

Explanation:

plants uses simple raw materials to prepare their food , which includes water ( H2O ) and Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).

and traps sunlight by Green pigments known as chlorophyll and stores these energy in bonds of glucose molecules

so ,

after this reaction glucose and oxygen is formed as products

● hence we conclude that Oxygen is not needed as a reactant to produce glucose , oxygen is the bi product formed during photosynthesis.
