Answer:

They reduce the bond angle to be slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle, approximately 104.45 degrees.

Explanation:

The unshared pair of electrons or lone pair electrons in order to have the minimum repulsion possible with each other pushes the other bonding pairs closer together making the bond angle smaller or bent.

The bond angle is slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle of 108 degrees, leaving the water molecule with a bent molecular geometry.

A system receives 575 ) of heat and delivers 425 ) of work. Calculate the change in the internal energy. AE, of the system.​
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

ΔE = 150 J

Explanation:

From first law of thermodynamics, we know that;

ΔE = q + w

Where;

ΔE is change in internal energy

q is total amount of heat energy going in or coming out

w is total amount of work expended or received

From the question, the system receives 575 J of heat. Thus, q = +575 J

Also, we are told that the system delivered 425 J of work. Thus, w = -425 J since work was expended.

Thus;

ΔE = 575 + (-425)

ΔE = 575 - 425

ΔE = 150 J

Describe the charges of the particles in the atom and how charge is distributed within an atom.
trapecia [35]
There are MANY subatomic particles in an atom.
But the three most important ones are
The electron which has a negative charge.
The proton having a positive charge.
And the neutron which is neutral or which has no charge at all.
The protons and neutrons club together and form the inner, heavy part of the atom which is positively charges because of the protons known as the nucleus.
And electrons remain farther away in all reality and revolve around the inner positive nucleus.
Trying its best to make the whole atom neutral!

Answer:

194.6 mL of SO₂

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

P₄S₃ + 6O₂(g) → P₄O₁₀ + 3SO₂(g)

<u>To solve this problem we need to use PV=nRT</u>, so first let's convert the given units:

  • 23.8 °C → 23.8 + 273.15 = 296.95 K
  • 747 torr → 747/760 = 0.983 atm

We need to calculate V, so in order to do that we calculate n, using the mass of the reactant (P₄S₃):

0.576 g P₄S₃ * \frac{1molP_{4}S_{3}}{220gP_{4}S_{3}} *\frac{3molSO_{2}}{1molP_{4}S_{3}} = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol SO₂ = n

  • Now we calculate V:

PV=nRT

0.983 atm * V =  7.85 * 10⁻³ mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 296.95 K

V = 0.1946 L

  • Finally we convert L into mL:

0.1946 * 1000 = 194.6 mL
