Answer:

linear

Explanation:

The shape of a molecule is derived from the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR). According to the theory, the number electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape. This is because, electron pairs in a molecule orient themselves are far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsions between electron pairs. Lone pairs cause more repulsion than bond pairs.

For a molecule XY2 having two bond pairs and no lone pair, the two bond pairs will orient themselves at an angle of 180° from each other, that is, along a straight line. Hence the three dimensional representation of the molecule molecule is linear.

The solubility of CaCl2 in water is 25g per 50 mL of H2O. How many grams of CaCl2 will dissolved to form a saturated solution in
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: option B. 5g

Explanation:

50mL of H2O dissolves 25g of CaCl2.

Therefore, 10mL of H2O will dissolve Xg of CaCl2 i.e

Xg of CaCl2 = (10 x 25) /50 = 5g

A 0.0035 M aqueous solution of a particular compound has pH = 2.46. The compound is (A) a weak base (B) a weak acid (C) a strong
slava [35]

Answer:

(a) A strong acid

Explanation:

We have given the pH of the solution is 2.46

pH=2.46  

So the concentration of H^+=10^{-pH}=10^{-2.46}=0.00346

solution having H+ concentration more than H^+=10^{-7} is acidic

Since in the given solution, H+ concentration is 0.00346 M which is more than 10^{-7}[/tex] so this is an acidic solution

Note-The concentration of H^+ decide the behavior of the solution that is, it is acidic or basic

A 0.580 g sample of a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen contains 0.480 g of carbon and 0.100 g of hydrogen. At STP, 3
Sati [7]

Answer:

Molecular formula for the gas is: C₄H₁₀

Explanation:

Let's propose the Ideal Gases Law to determine the moles of gas, that contains 0.087 g

At STP → 1 atm and 273.15K

1 atm . 0.0336 L = n . 0.082 . 273.15 K

n = (1 atm . 0.0336 L) / (0.082 . 273.15 K)

n = 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles

Molar mass of gas = 0.087 g / 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles = 58 g/m

Now we propose rules of three:

If 0.580 g of gas has ____ 0.480 g of C _____ 0.100 g of C

58 g of gas (1mol) would have:

(58 g . 0.480) / 0.580 = 48 g of C  

(58 g . 0.100) / 0.580 = 10 g of H

 48 g of C / 12 g/mol = 4 mol

 10 g of H / 1g/mol = 10 moles

Which of the following contributes the most hydronium ions to a solution? weak acid strong acid weak base strong base
zavuch27 [327]
The correct answer is the second option. A strong acid contributes the most hydronium ions in a solution. When an acid is in aqueous form, it dissociates into ions namely where one of the ions are hydronium ions. If the acid is a strong one, the ions dissociates completely contributing more hydronium ions.
