Answer : Majorly the VSEPR theory is used to determine the molecular shape of a compound.

It gives us the information about the bond angles in the molecule, which helps us to determine the 3D shape of a molecule.

The movement of bond and the free electrons are shown and the most stable structure is determined on that basis.

Danny sails a boat downstream. The wind pushes the boat along at 21 km/hr. The current runs downstream at 15 km/hr. What is the

deff fn [24]

Answer: D) 36.0 km/hr, downstream

Explanation:

For downstream motion of the boat, the actual velocity of the boat is the sum of velocity of the water current and the velocity of the boat due to pushed by wind.

Velocity of water current, v = 15 km/h

Velocity of the boat going downstream, u = 21 km/h

Actual velocity of the boat = v'

v' = v + u

⇒v' = 15 km/h + 21 km/h

⇒u = 21 km/h +15 km/h = 36.0 km/h downstream

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Suppose that the microwave radiation has a wavelength of 12.4 cm . How many photons are required to heat 255 mL of coffee from 2

vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength λ = 12.4 x 10⁻² m .

energy of one photon = h c / λ

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 12.4 x 10⁻²

= 1.6 x 10⁻²⁴ J .

Let density of coffee be equal to density of water .

mass of coffee = 255 x 1 = 255 g

heat required to heat up coffee = mass x specific heat x rise in temp

= 255 x 4.18 x ( 62-25 )

= 39438.3 J .

No of photons required = heat energy required / energy of one photon

= 39438.3 / 1.6 x 10⁻²⁴

= 24649 x 10²⁴

= 24.65 x 10²⁷ .

The absorbance of a garbanzo bean solution that had been diluted by a factor of three was 0.528. what was the concentration of t

Serjik [45]

The Beer-Lambert law states that A = E*c*l where A is absorbance, E is the molar absorbance coeffecient, c is concentration and l is path length. Therefore the absorbance is directly proportional to concentration, and by increasing the concentration by a factor of 3, absorbance will increase by a factor of 3 giving A = 1.584

A solution is prepared by mixing 50.0 mL of 0.50 M Cu(NO3)2 with 50.0 mL of 0.50 M Co(NO3)2. Sodium hydroxide is added to the mi

vekshin1

Answer:

Cu(OH)₂ will precipitate first, with [OH⁻] = 2.97x10⁻¹⁰ M

Explanation:

The equilibriums that take place are:

Cu⁺² + 2OH⁻ ↔ Cu(OH)₂(s) ksp = 2.2x10⁻²⁰ = [Cu⁺²]*[OH⁻]²

Co⁺² + 2OH⁻ ↔ Co(OH)₂(s) ksp = 1.3x10⁻¹⁵ = [Co⁺²]*[OH⁻]²

Keep in mind that <em>the concentration of each ion is halved </em>because of the dilution when mixing the solutions.

For Cu⁺²:

2.2x10⁻²⁰ = [Cu⁺²]*[OH⁻]²

2.2x10⁻²⁰ = 0.25 M*[OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 2.97x10⁻¹⁰ M

For Co⁺²:

1.3x10⁻¹⁵ = [Co⁺²]*[OH⁻]²

1.3x10⁻¹⁵ = 0.25 M*[OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 7.21x10⁻⁸ M

<u>Because Copper requires less concentration of OH⁻ than Cobalt</u>, Cu(OH)₂ will precipitate first, with [OH⁻] = 2.97x10⁻¹⁰ M

In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Water and Sugar can be separated by evaporation and then crystallization

B. Mixture of Hexane and Octane can be separated by distillation

C. Solid Iodine, I₂ and NaCl can be separated by filtration and then evaporation

D. "Sharpie" permanent marking pen can be separated by chromatography

E. Nickel shavings and copper pellets can be separated by magnetic separation

Explanation:

A. A mixture of water and sugar can be separated by employing two separation techniques, evaporation and crystallization. First the sugar solution is heated to evaporate most of the water. When the solution becomes very saturated, it is allowed to cool and then the sugar molecules are obtained through crystallization induced by seeding or scratching the walls of the container.

B. A mixture of hexane (boiling point = 68 °C) and Octane (boiling point = 125 °C) can be separated by distillation due to their significant difference in boiling points.

The mixture is heated in a flask connected to a Liebig condenser. Hexane with the lower boiling point will distill over first and is collected. Afterwards, octane next distills over and is collected as well.

C. A mixture of solid iodine and NaCl can be seperated by first dissolving in water. Iodine being non- polar does not dissolve and is collected as a residue from filtration using a filter paper, while the NaCl solution is collected as the filtrate. The NaCl is recovered from solution by evaporating to dryness in an evaporating dish.

D. "Sharpie" permanent marking pen contains a mixture of dyes which can be separated by paper chromatography.

A drop of the marker ink is placed on a spot above the solvent level on the paper strip used for the separation. The paper strip is held vertically inside a jar containing a solvent which serves as the mobile phase. The jar is covered and the different dyes move along the paper which serves as the stationary phase, and is thus separated. The paper strip is removed from the jar when the ascending front of the solvent is approaching the top of the paper. The paper is dried and the various dyes can be identified by comparing the distance each has traveled with those of standards.

E. A mixture of nickel shavings and copper pellets can be separated by magnetic separation.

A magnet is brought near the mixture and the nickel shavings being magnetic is attracted to the magnet leaving copper pellets behind since copper is not magnetic.
