The correct answer is C. square planar

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory(VSEPR), The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs in the molecule.

VSEPR theory was first coined by Gillespie  and Nyhlom in 1957 as an improvement over the Sidgwick - Powell theory.

According to this theory, the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.  The electron pairs are positioned as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion of electron pairs.

However, the presence of lone pairs distorts the shape anticipated for the molecule on the basis of VSEPR.

For a molecule having six electron pairs, an octahedral geometry is expected(electron domain geometry). However, the presence of two lone pairs which are positioned at opposite side of the four single bonds leads to an observed square planar molecular geometry.

Answer:

Part A:

"360 grams of NaCl can be dissolved in 1 L water. So, 2000 grams sugar can be dissolved in 1 L water then we can say that the solubility of salt is lesser in water as to sugar and both heightened by increasing the temperature. If we make a batch of 800 L we can add sugar, 1600 kg at 25 0c. We can add salt is 288 kg at 25 0c and the ingredient tomato is having low solubility."

A solution was prepared by mixing 50.0 g
frez [133]

Answer:

4.78 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em></em>

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of MgSO₄ = 50.0 g,

mass of water = d.V = (0.997 g/mL)(1000.0 mL) = 997.0 g.

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of MgSO₄ = 997.0 g + 50.0 g = 1047.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (50.0 g/1047.0 g) x 100 = <em>4.776 % ≅ 4.78 %.</em>

Calculate the mass of oxygen in 30 g of CH NH COOH?​
Naya [18.7K]

Molar mass of CH2NH2COOH - 75

Given mass of CH2NH2COOH - 30

Moles of CH2NH2COOH = Given mass/ Molar mass

moles of CH2NH2COOH = 30/75 = 0.4 mol

One mole of CH2NH2COOH contains 32 gram of oxygen

0.4 mole of CH2NH2COOH will contain = 0.4 × 32= 12.8 g of oxygen

Answer- the mass of oxygen in 30 g of CH2NH2COOH is 12.8 gram!

what is the order of decreasing bond length for a C-C bond composed of the following molecular orbitals?I. sp^3 - sp^3II. sp^2 -
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as average distance between two nuclei of  bonded atoms in a molecule.Bond length is inversely  proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Number of bonds}}...[1]

Bond energy is defied as amount of energy required to break apart the bond of 1 mole of molecule into their individual atom. Bond energy is directly proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond Energy} \propto \text{Number of bonds}..[2]

From [1] and [2]:

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Bond energy}}

C-C: sp_3 hybridized

C=C: sp_2 hybridized

C\equiv C: sp hybridized

Extent of overlapping of orbitals in these hybridization;

C\equiv C> C=C > C-C

Higher the overlapping of orbital more closer will be both atoms to each other and shorter will be the bond lenght.

So, the decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C
