(4 points) Select one: a. CH4 ≥ NH3 because CH4 is tetrahedral but NH3 is pyramidal. b. CH4 < NH3 because δ− on C in the CH bond is greater than δ− on N in the NH bond. c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond. d. CH4 ≥ NH3 because CH4 has H bonding but NH3 has dispersion forces.

Answer:

c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.

Explanation:

Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.

However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.

Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.

When equal volumes of 0.5 M HCl and 0.5 M Ca(OH)2 are mixed, the resulting solution is
Mademuasel [1]

The concentration of mixed solution = 0.5 M

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

0.5 M HCl

0.5 M Ca(OH)₂

Required

The concentration

Solution

Molarity from 2 solutions :

Vm Mm = V₁. M₁ + V₂. M₂  

m = mixed solution

V = volume

M = molarity

V = mixed volume  

1 = solution 1

2 = solution 2

Vm = V₁+V₂

Equal volumes⇒V₁=V₂, and Vm = 2V, then equation becomes :

2V.Mm = V(M₁+M₂)

2V.Mm = V(0.5+0.5)

Mm=0.5 M

A 52.0 g of Copper (specific heat=0.0923cal/gC) at 25.0C is warmed by the addition of 299 calories of energy. find the final tem
Leto [7]

Answer : The final temperature of the copper is, 87.29^oC

Solution :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

Q = heat gained  = 299 cal

m = mass of copper = 52 g

c = specific heat of copper = 0.0923cal/g^oC      

\Delta T=\text{Change in temperature} 

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 25^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final temperature of copper.

299cal=52g\times 0.0923cal/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25^oC)

T_{final}=87.29^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the copper is, 87.29^oC

How do the strength and the cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil change with the addition of water?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Water lowers the strength and cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil.

Explanation:

Water can seep into the soil or clay-rich regolith and replace the air in the pore space of the soil or regolith. Water will completely surrounds all the grains of the clay-rich regolith and breaks the bonds in between the grains, that is eliminating all grain to grain contact of the regolith. When the regolith becomes saturated with water, the angle of repose is reduced to very small values and the regolith tends to loose its form.

Determine the molecular formula of a compound that is 49.48% carbon, 5.19% hydrogen, 28.85% nitrogen, and 16.48% oxygen. the mol
Softa [21]
To determine molecular formula, we first need to find out its empirical formula,
Carbon. Hydrogen. Nitrogen. Oxygen
Mass. 49.98g. 5.19g. 28.85g. 16.48g
Mole. 4.165. 5.19. 2.06. 1.03
Divide 4. 5. 2. 1
by
smallest
So by comparing the mole ratio from the table above, i hope u understand the table
The empirical formula is C4H5N2O
given molecular mass = 194.19g
so
(C4H5N2O) n= 194.19
(48+5+28+16)n=194.19
n= 2
molecular formula = C8H10N4O2
