Q5. The molecule is not symmetrical, you have to view it in its 3D shape, it is tetrahedral.

Q6. MgCl2 dissolves, SiCl4 hydrolyses.

Q23. Each carbon has 4 single bonds, they are tetrahedral shape around each carbon.

Q36. NH3 accepts a H+ to form NH4+, it is a proton acceptor (base)

Q39.
H2SO4 (acid) donates a proton to C2H5OH.

Q23, The carbons are in a row like -C-C-C which is 180 right.

I know the bonds are tetrahedral but the C row has a 180 angle right?

Step 1: Count the hydrogen atoms in the side-chains.
Upper side-chain and lower side-chain: 2 x (3+6+6+14) = 58
Middle side-chain: 3 + 6 + 6 + 14 = 29

Step 2: Count the hydrogen atoms in each residue
First residue: 3 + 8 + 6 + 14 = 31
Second residue x 2 (because two side-chains are converted): 2 x (3 + 14 + 2 + 14) = 66

Step 3: Calculate how many hydrogen atoms had to be added to each side-chain in order to form the residues.
Upper and lower side-chain residues have 66 - 58 extra hydrogens = 8 extra hydrogens
Middle side-chain residue has 31-29 extra hydrogens = 2 extra hydrogens

Step 4: You know that 10 hydrogen atoms have been added to the original molecule. Each hydrogen molecule contains two hydrogen atoms, so there are 10/2 = 5 hydrogen molecules ie. 5 moles of hydrogen
