Answer:
The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.
Explanation:
The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).
Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.
Answer:
The book sitting on the desk
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground.
It is calculated as:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object with respect to the ground
From the formula, we see that the GPE of an object is directly proportional to the heigth h: so, the higher the location of the object, the larger the GPE.
In this problem, we are comparing a book sitting on a desk and the same book sitting on the floor. In the two situations, the mass of the book is the same; however, in the first case, the value of the height is h, while in the second case, the value of h is lower (because the book is located at a lower height, being on the floor).
Therefore, we can conclude that the first book must have a larger GPE, since it has a larger value of h.
Answer: The pressure required is 0.474 atm
Explanation:
Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
(At constant temperature and number of moles)
The equation is,
where,
= initial pressure of gas = 1.0 atm
= final pressure of gas = ?
= initial volume of gas = 
= final volume of gas = 
(
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
The pressure required is 0.474 atm
Steroids are lipids because they are hydrophobic and insoluble in water
