Answer:

bent

Explanation:

The chlorite ion has been pictured in the image attached with its two main resonance contributors.

The ion has four regions of electron density as shown. On the basis of the VSEPR theory, we expect a tetrahedral geometry.

However, the ion is bent due to the effect of the lone pairs on chlorine which is the central atom in the ion. This distorts the bond angle of the ion hence the ion has a bent molecular geometry.

We are all familiar with the general principles of operation of an internal combustion engine: the combustion of fuel drives out
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The work done by the system is 100 J

Explanation:

Given details

The cross sectional area of the of the container is A = 100.0 cm^2 = 0.01m²

The total distance pushed by the piston is d = 10 cm = 0.10m

The total external pressure by which piston pushed is P = 100 kPa

From above data, the following relation can be used to determine the change in volume of the container

∆V = A * d

∆V = 0.01 * 0.10 = 0.001 m³

By using the following relation, the work done by the system is calculated as;

Work done W = P * ∆V

W = 100 * 0.001 = 0.1 kJ = 100 J

The work done by the system is 100 J

How would oxygen be represented in the formula equation for the reaction of methane and oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Explanation:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Methane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + Water.

The balanced equation above shows the combustion of methane, CH4 in oxygen, O2 to yield carbon dioxide, CO2 and steam, H2O.

The mole ratio of combustion are as follows:

1 mole of CH4 burns in 2 moles of oxygen to produce 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of H2O and a lot of heat.
