When pcl5 solidifies it forms pcl4 cations and pcl6–anions. according to valence bond theory, hybrid orbitals that  are used by phosphorus in the pcl4 cations are one orbital of s and three orbital of p as it is sp³hydridised.

<h3>What is sp³ hybridization?</h3>

Hybridization is a process or system which specifies the shape and geometry of any element or molecule with bond angles too.

The pcl4 cation is sp³ hybridized because of the phosphorus behave as a central atom here and the 4 chloride molecules are attached with the p- orbitals to the phosphorus molecule.

Therefore, pcl4 cation  is sp³ hybridized.

Why calcium oxide and magnesium oxide used as soil treatment ​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Chemically speaking, lime refers only to calcium oxide

(CaO); however, in common usage the term includes the calcination products of calcitic and dolomitic limestones. Calcitic (high-calcium) limes are produced by calcination of

calcareous materials (e.g., calcitic limestone, calcite,

oyster shells, and chalk) containing from 95 to 99 percent

calcium carbonate (CaCO^). Dolomitic limes are produced from

dolomitic limestone or dolomite which contains from 30 to ^+0

percent magnesium carbonate (MgCO^), the rest being calcium

carbonate.

At atmospheric pressure, calcite in limestone decomposes

at approximately 900°C to form CaO and COg. The decomposition of dolomite, CaMg is a two-stage process. At

temperatures between 650°C to 750°C dolomite decomposes to

form MgO, CO^ and CaCO^. It is necessary to raise the temperature to 900°C to decompose the CaCO^ (15, 35)» This

phenomenon is extremely important, as is shown later.

Various investigators have studied the effects of stone

size, temperature, and time of calcination of commercial

What effect does<br>hybridization have on boods,​
Alchen [17]
Hybridisation influences the bond length and bond enthalpy strength in organic compounds. The sp hybrid orbital contains more s character and hence it is closer to its nucleus and forms shorter and stronger bonds than the sp3 hybrid orbital.

A gaseous mixture consisting of nitrogen, argon, and oxygen is in a 3.5-L vessel at 25C. Determine the number of moles of oxygen
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.037  mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure = 98.5 KPa

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 22.0 KPa

Partial pressure of argon = 50.0 KPa

Volume = 3.5 L

Temperature = 25°C (25+273= 298K)

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Total pressure = P(N₂) + P(O₂) + P(Ar)

98.5 KPa = 22.0 KPa +P(O₂) + 50.0 KPa

98.5 KPa = 72.0 KPa +P(O₂)

P(O₂)  = 98.5 KPa - 72.0 KPa

P(O₂)  = 26.5 KPa

KPa to atm:

26.5 KPa/ 101 = 0.262 atm

Number of moles of oxygen:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.262 atm × 3.5 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K  × 298 K

n = 0.917atm.L /24.47atm.L/ mol

n = 0.037  mol

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br
12345 [234]

Answer: a) HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)

b) HCN : acid CN^- :conjugate base.

And, H_2O : base H_3O^+: conjugate acid.

c) HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)

d) NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)

e) NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases H^+ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of HCN acid is given by:

HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

HCN is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms CN^- which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of NaCN in water.

NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCN and HCI

NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)
