Answer:

Liquid oxygen evaporates at only a slightly higher temperature than liquid nitrogen because they have similarly low attraction between molecules. This would mean less liquid oxygen is coming out of tank 3 because some of it is evaporating as a gas instead.

Which factors cause a rising tide

mestny [16]

High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

What effect does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?

loris [4]

Using the VSPER theory, the effect of lone pairs on molecular shape can be discussed.

There are 3 types of electron pairs present in a molecular shape: bond pair -bond pair, lone pair - bond pair, lone pair - lone pair.

Strength of repulsions between these three types of pair follows the order:

lone pair- lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair

Whenever there is an addition of lone pairs to the geometry, some distortions take place which decreases the bond angles and some asymmetry is attained in the original molecular shape.
