Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
Answer:
Option A.
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:
For Option A:
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is balanced.
For Option B:
2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option C:
2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option D:
Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.

<span>0.0292 moles of sucrose are available.
First, lookup the atomic weights of all involved elements
Atomic weight Carbon = 12.0107
Atomic weight Hydrogen = 1.00794
Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999
Now calculate the molar mass of sucrose
12 * 12.0107 + 22 * 1.00794 + 11 * 15.999 = 342.29208 g/mol
Divide the mass of sucrose by its molar mass
10.0 g / 342.29208 g/mol = 0.029214816 mol
Finally, round the result to 3 significant figures, giving
0.0292 moles</span>
