Astudent purchases and weighs 5 pounds of carrots from a local grocery store. she notices that the grocery store constantly sprays its produce with distilled water. after returning home, she weighs the carrots again and discovers that they weigh only 4.2 lbs. they also no longer seem as crisp and that. provide a possible explanation for why the carrots weighed more at the store, based on the information learned in this lab.

The act of constantly spraying the produce with distilled water by the store is to make the vegetables keep fresh and moist. Now since we know that water vaporizes over time, so we would really expect some water from the carrots to be vaporized out hence resulting in reduction of overall weight of the carrot due to loss of water.

i believe the answer is a.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
