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.

Gemiola [76]
First you have to moles so multiply .0483L X .55M= .026565 Multiply moles by mole ratio which is 1/2, so the moles becomes .013283 now molarity=moles/volume; divide .013283/.015L=.885533M significant figures and you final answer is 0.89M

Based on the kinetic molecular theory, which of the following statements is correct about a sample of gas at a constant temperat
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C) It has a constant average kinetic energy

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, according to the equation.

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

Therefore, temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

In this problem, we are told that the gas is at constant temperature (and volume): therefore, according to the previous equation, this means that the average kinetic energy is also constant.

A transformer has 90 turns in the primary coil and 9 turns in the secondary coil If the output voltage is 6 V, what is the input
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

60 V

Explanation:

From;

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np

Where;

Vs = voltage in the secondary coil = 6V

Vp = voltage in the primary coil= ??

Ns = number of turns in the secondary coil = 9

Np= number of turns in the primary coil = 90

6/Vp = 9/90

Vp= 90 * 6/9

Vp=  60 V

How do you make a 3M solution of KBr? How many moles of KBr are 1 liter of a 0.3M solution?
pashok25 [27]
Molarity= moles/liter, so you would need 3mol KBr/1 liter
(0.3M)(1L)= 0.3mol KBr
