Answer:

- the central atom is usually the atom with the lowest subscript in the molecular formula and the atom that can form the most bonds. If all of the atoms usually form the same number of bonds, the least electronegative atom is usually the central atom.

- molecular shape (the shape that a single molecule has) is important in determining how the molecule interacts and reacts with other molecules. Molecular shape also influences the boiling point and melting point of molecules. If all molecules were linear then life as we know it would not exist.

a sample of sucrose was burned in a calorimeter, and 41,600 joules oh heat energy were released. which statement is true about t
Gala2k [10]

It absorbed 41,600 joules.

Explanation:

If the sample of sucrose burnt in the calorimeter releases 41600Joules of heat, then the water in the calorimeter will absorb 41600J.

 The heat lost by burning the sucrose in the calorimeter is also the heat gained by the water therein.

A calorimeter is a device by prevents heat loss to the environment in any form.

It is specially designed to minimize heat loss by conduction, convection radiation.

Therefore, since no heat is lost, the heat released by burning the sucrose is used in heating the water there.

5C + 6O2 = ? What will be the product of molecules formed from this equation?
harina [27]

Answer:5 moles ofCarbonmonoxide and 3.5 moles of oxygen gas.This in combine to yield carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

5C + 6O2----------5CO + 7/2O2.

When carbon combine with oxygen, carbon monoxide is formed first and it later recombine with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide.

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the _____ state.
bagirrra123 [75]

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the <u>Liquid</u> state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three states of matter according to chemical science: Solid, Liquid and Gas. There is not much space in among the molecules. The particles in a liquid are free to float, so while a liquid has a certain volume it has no definite form. Liquids are composed of atoms or molecules bound by inter molecular bonds.

Most of the liquids resist compression while some do not, unlike a gas, a liquid will not spread to fill any container room and will retain a fairly constant density. A characteristic liquid state property is surface tension that results to wetting phenomena. Water is perhaps the most frequent substance on Earth.

What is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.19 m aqueous solution?
Bumek [7]
Molality= mol/ Kg

if we assume that we have 1 kg of water, we have 3.19 moles of solute. 

the formula for mole fraction --> mole fraction= mol of solule/ mol of solution

1) if we have 1 kg of water which is same as 1000 grams of water. 

2) we need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of water 

molar mass of H₂O= (2 x 1.01) + 16.0 = 18.02 g/mol

1000 g (1 mol/ 18.02 grams)= 55.5 mol

3) mole of solution= 55.5 moles + 3.19 moles= 58.7 moles of solution

4) mole fraction= 3.19 / 58.7= 0.0543
