What is the approximate geometry around each oxygen atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

correct option: A. tetrahedral

Explanation:

when we talk about hydrogen bonding in water due to oxygen then need to check the number of lone pair available for hydrogen bonding because hydrogen bond form between lone pair of oxygen and hydrogen of other water molecule so there are two lone pair which forms hydrogen bond and there are also two other covalent bond with hydrogen of same molecule so total number is 4 it means they will form a tetrahedral geometry

olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

<u>The boiling points of substances  often reflect the strength of the </u><u>intermolecular forces</u><u> operating among the molecules.</u>

If it takes more energy to  separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held  together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than  that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong  type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, <em>which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond</em>, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.

A 15.0 L tank of gas is contained at a high pressure of 8.20 x 10^4 torr. The tank is opened and the gas expands into an empty c
Inga [223]

Answer:

20.5torr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

V₁  = 15L

P₁  = 8.2 x 10⁴torr

V₂ = 6 x 10⁴L

Unknown:

P₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we have to apply the claims of Boyle's law.

Boyle's law is given mathematically as;

            P₁ V₁   = P₂V₂

where P₁ is the initial pressure

          V₁ is the initial volume

           P₂ is final pressure

           V₂ is final volume

   8.2 x 10⁴  x 15  = P₂  x 6 x 10⁴

         P₂  = 20.5torr

Find the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
Vladimir [108]
Oxidizing agent is that which is reduced and the reducing agent is that which is oxidized. Reduced is when the charged is decreased and oxidized when the charge is increased.

(1)  2Na + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
The charge of Na in the reactant is 0 and the charge of Na in the NaOH is +1. Na is oxidized. Hence, it is the reducing agent. 

The charge of H in H2O is +1 while that in H2 is 0. H is reduced. Hence, it is the oxidizing agent.

(2)  C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)

The charge of C in the reactant side is 0 and that its charge in CO2 is +4. C is oxidized. Hence, it is the reducing agent. 

The charge of O in O2 is 0 while in CO2, its charge is -2. O is reduced. Hence, it is the oxidizing agent.

(3)  2MnO⁻⁴ + SO2 + 2H2O --> 2Mn²⁺ + 5SO2⁻⁴ 4H⁺

The charge of Mn in MnO⁻⁴ is 4+ while its charge in Mn²⁺ is 2+. Mn is reduced. Hence, it is the oxidizing agent.

The charged of S in SO2 is -4 while its charge in SO₂⁻⁴ is 0. S is oxidized. Hence, it is the reducing agent.
