In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom has two unshared pairs of electrons and two bonding pairs of electrons. How do the un

shared pairs affect the bond angle?
Chemistry

4 0

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.

What is the energy of a photon of violet light with a frequency of 7.57x10^14 s^-1?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

ΔE = 5.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ j

Explanation:

ΔE (photon) = h·f = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s)(7.57 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹) = 5.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ j

h = Planck's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s

f = frequency (given) = 7.57 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

The addition of 250.0 J to 30.0 g of copper initially at 22.0°C will change its temperature to what final value? (Specific heat
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Final temperature = 43.53^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat added, Q = 250 J

Mass, m = 30 g

Initial temperature, T₁ = 22°C

The Specific heat of Cu= 0.387 J/g °C

We know that, heat added due to the change in temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_2-T_1)\\\\\dfrac{Q}{mc}=(T_2-T_1)\\\\T_2=\dfrac{Q}{mc}+T_1

Put all the values,

T_2=\dfrac{250}{30\times 0.387}+22\\\\=43.53^{\circ} C

So, the final temperature is equal to 43.53^{\circ} C.
