Answer:

8.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled = 500m

Time taken = 60s

Unknown:

Speed of the sound = ?

Solution:

The speed the sound can be derived using the expression below:

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

So;

Speed = $\frac{500}{60}$ = 8.33m/s

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond

maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T

SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

Explanation:

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only $\frac{1}{10}^{th}$ part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.
