What is the molecular geometry of the underlined carbon atom in the following compound: HC-C-CH3?

Chemistry

Tom [10]3 years ago

Answer:

linear

Explanation:

If we look at the compound, we will understand that the underlined carbon is in sp hybridization. Recall that sp hybridization leads to a C-C bond angle of about 180°. When two chemical species are at a bond angle if 180°, then the both bonding groups are found to be on a straight line.

Hence, for any carbon in a triply bonded state or indeed any carbon atom that is in an sp will exhibit a linear geometry according to the Valence Shell Electron Pair repulsion Theory since there are two electron pairs present.

Answer:

chemonoia

Explanation:

Many people have a strong fear of “chemicals” that belies the evidence. It's called chemonoia – and it may be damaging their health. If you were paranoid, you might think there really was something in the water that's damaged our sense of reason.

How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?
Vladimir [108]
Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6
