The hybridization of the central atom in SCl₂ is sp³.

<h3>What is Lewis Structure ? </h3>

Lewis structure is also known as Lewis dot structure which simply represent the valence electron of an atom.

<h3>What is Hybridization ? </h3>

Hybridization is defined as the mixing of two atomic orbitals belongs to same atom but having entirely different shapes , energies which produces a new hybridized orbitals.

Now first write the electronic configuration of central atom.

The central atom in SCl₂ is S (Sulphur).

Electronic configuration of S: [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴

One 3s and three 3p undergo hybridization to form sp³ orbitals. Here each atom forms bond with one sp³ hybrid orbital.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The hybridization of the central atom in SCl₂ is sp³.

Equation for questions 1-4:

Karolina [17]

Answer:

5.625 moles of oxygen, O₂.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Al + 3O₂ —> 2Al₂O₃

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ required to react with 7.5 moles of aluminum, Al. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 7.5 moles of Al will react with = (7.5 × 3)/4 = 5.625 moles of O₂.

Thus, 5.625 moles of O₂ is needed for the reaction.

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo

Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol
