Answer:

A. C3H3O

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m = mass of organic compound = 1.038g

Then mass of CO2 is 2.48g

Also mass of H2O is 0.510g

To calculate percentage of carbon = 12 x mass of CO2 x 100/44 x mass of organic compound

This gives us 65.1 percent

Formula to calculate percentage of H=

2 x mass of water x 100/18 x mass of organic compound.

= 2 x 0.510 x 100/18x 10038

This gives 5.4%

Percentage of Oxygen =100-(percentageof carbon +percentageof H)

= 100-(65.1+5.4)

= 100-70.5

= 29.5

We have to calculate emperical formula:

For C = 65.1

65.1/12

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For H=5.4

5.4/1

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For O = 29.5

= 29.5/16

= 1.8

= 1.8/1.8

=1

So the emperical formula of organic compound is given as

C3H3O1

= C3H3O

(The atomic weights of C, H, O are 12,1,16)

External Failure Costs Include The Following Costs Except__________ Costs.A Product-Returnb Lost Salesc Price-Downgradingd Warra
schepotkina [342]

Costs associated with product failures that occur after they have been sold to customers are known as external failure costs. These expenses cover the legal expenditures associated with customer lawsuits.

<h3>The expense of an external failure is an example of which of the following?</h3>

Liability claims. Warranty claims are regarded as a cost of external failure. It is a cost that the company incurs to replace and repair goods that customers have recently purchased.

<h3>What part of the external failure costs is this?</h3>

One element of the cost of quality is external failure costs, which are incurred when a subpar product is delivered to the client and malfunctions while being used. The warranty work and returns make up the majority of this expense. However, customer lawsuits could also be a possibility.

Indicate the electron pair geometry and the molecular geometry for each of the six compounds. Compound Electron pair geometry Mo
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

CO2

Electron pair geometry- Linear

Molecular geometry- Linear

BF3

Electron pair geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry- trigonal planar

SO2

Electron geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - bent

SiCl4

Electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry - tetrahedral

PF3

Electron pair geometry - tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- trigonal pyramidal

OF2

Electron pair geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- bent

Explanation:

Considering the molecule CO2, there are two regions of electron density in the molecule positioned at an angle of 180 degrees from each other hence the molecule is linear.

For BF3, the three bond pairs are arranged at the corners of a triangle to give a trigonal planar geometry at a bond angle of 120 degrees.

SO2 has two bonding groups and one lone pair giving three regions of electron density and a trigonal planar electron pair geometry. Due to the distortion to geometry caused by the presence of a lone pair, the molecule is bent.

For SiCl4, the four bonding groups are arranged at the corners of a regular tetrahedron hence it is tetrahedral both in electron pair geometry and in molecular geometry.

PF3 molecule has four regions of electron density corresponding to tetrahedral electron pair geometry. The presence of the lone pair leads to a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

For OF2, there are four regions of electron density around the central oxygen atom. Two bond pairs and two lone pairs leads to a tetrahedral electron pair geometry but a bent molecular geometry is observed due to the two lone pairs.
