T or F: Lone pairs around the oxygen atom of a water molecule play no role in determining its molecular geometry?

Chemistry

Mama L [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

They play a very important part. The geometry is not a straight line. It is an angle over 90 which means that the molecule has the same general shape as a boomerang. The two hydrogens and the 2 lone electron pairs try to get away as far as possible from each other. The actual shape results in a tetrahedron shape. But the two hydrogens and 1 oxygen actually look like the aforementioned boomerang.

What happens to an ionic compound when it is dissolved in water?

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

because the ion are Mobil which mean they are free not combined and carry a charge but when they are combined/ fixed in position they can't carry a charge so therefore can't conduct electricity :)

To make a sarurated solution, 36 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of water at 293 k . Find its concentration at this t

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The answer is " $26.47\%$ "

Explanation:

Sodium chloride solute mass $=36 \ g$

Solvent water mass $=100\ g$

Calculating the solution mass = Solute mass + solvent mass

$= 36\ g +100\ g\\\\ = 136\ g\\\\$

Calculating the percentage of concentration:

$= \frac{solute\ mass}{solvent\ mass} \times 100\\\\=\frac{36\ grm}{136\ grm} \times 100\\\\=0.2647 \times 100\\\\=26.47 \%$

What is the difference between a state and a microstate of a system?

Brut [27]

Answer:

a) A microstate is a snapshot of positions and speeds at a particular instant.

b) A thermodynamic state is a single possible arrangement of the positions and kinetic energies of the molecules.

c) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature and pressure, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

d) A microstate is a single possibility for all the positions and kinetic energies of all the molecules in a sample.

e) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature, volume and number of moles, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

Explanation:

A state of a system in thermodynamics give the properties that a material is been made up, these properties could be pressure, temperature, volumes and others , they are been called thermodynamic property

Microstates helps us to know how molecules is been arranged in single instant. Kinetics energy as well as position of molecules in a particular substance can be known in single instant.

An aqueous solution is listed as being 33.8% solute by mass with a density of 1.15 g/mL, the molar mass of the solute is 145.6 g

vodomira [7]

Answer:

A) 2.69 M

B) 0.059

Explanation:

A) We have:

33.8% solute by mass= 33.8 g solute/100 g solution

molarity = mol solute/ 1 L solution

molarity= $\frac{33.8 g solute}{100 g solution}$ x $\frac{1.15 g solution}{1 ml}$ x $\frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g solute}$ x $\frac{1000 ml}{1 L}$

molarity= 2.69 mol solute/L solution = 2.69 M

B) We know that there are 33.8 g of solute in 100 g of solution.

As the total solution is compounded by solute+solvent (in this case, solvent is water), the mass of water is the difference between the mass of the total solution and the mass of solute:

mass of water= 100 g - 33.8 g = 66.2 g

Now, we calculate the number of mol of both solute and water:

mol solute= 33.8 g solute x $\frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g}$ = 0.232 mol

mol H20= 66.2 g H₂O x $\frac{1 mol H2O}{18 g}$

Finally, the mol fraction of solute (Xsolute) is calculated as follows:

Xsolute= $\frac{mol solute}{total mol}= \frac{mol solute}{mol solute + mol H2O}=\frac{0.232 mol}{0.232 mol + 3.677 mol}$

Xsolute= 0.059
