the bond angle marked a in the following molecule is about . question 24 options: a) 109.5 b) 180 c) 60 d) 120 e) 90

1 answer:

3 0

The bond angle marked as ‘a’ in the molecule above is about: D. 120 degrees. That means the angle between the atoms forms a trigonal planar shape.

<h3>What is the bond angle?</h3>

The bond angle is an angle between two bonds that measures in degrees and is calculated by using the spectroscopic method. The bond angle depends on the bonds and the number of lone pairs an atom has.

The molecule above contains 3 electron charge clouds around them: a single bond to carbon, a single bond to oxygen, and a double bond to the other oxygen. Hence, the O-C=O bond angle from the molecule above is 120 degrees.

Displaced volume :

<span> Vf - Vi

77.0 mL - 50.0 mL => 27 mL

Therefore:

d = m / V

d = 521 / 27

d = 19.29 g/mL

How do I balance chemical equations ?<br>

Maru [420]

Answer & explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, we must make sure that there are equal amounts of each element in the equation on either side.

To balance an equation step-by-step we first start by counting the amount of each element on each side. If they aren't equal, we must make them amounts equal on either side.

After you make sure all the elements are balanced, the net charge on both sides must also be equal.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

Explanation:

The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
Therefore, atoms of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.
