In methane the central C atom is bonded to 4 H atoms forming 4 covalent bonds and adopts a tetrahedral geometry.

The valence electron configuration of C = 2s²2p²

H = 1s¹

In methane, one electron from the 2s orbital of C gets promoted to the 2p orbital creating 4 unpaired electrons. This mixing of the 2s-2p creates 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals each of which then bonds to the 1s orbital of H. Thus, in CH3, the C atom is sp3 hybridized.

This pattern of hybridization is also exhibited by CF2Cl2 in which the central C atom is spe3 hybridized and forms 4 covalent bonds: 2 C-F and 2 C-Cl

Ans: D) CF2Cl2

One kilogram of water at 100 0C is cooled reversibly to 15 0C. Compute the change in entropy. Specific heat of water is 4190 J/K
mina [271]

Answer:

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

If the water is cooled reversibly with no phase changes, then there is no entropy generation during the entire process. By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we represent the change of entropy (s_{2} - s_{1}), in joules per gram-Kelvin, by the following model:

s_{2} - s_{1} = \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dQ}{T} }

s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dT}{T} }

s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} (1)

Where:

m - Mass, in kilograms.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

T_{1}, T_{2} - Initial and final temperatures of water, in Kelvin.

If we know that m = 1\,kg, c_{w} = 4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}, T_{1} = 373.15\,K and T_{2} = 288.15\,K, then the change in entropy for the entire process is:

s_{2} - s_{1} = (1\,kg) \cdot \left(4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K} \right)\cdot \ln \frac{288.15\,K}{373.15\,K}

s_{2} - s_{1} = -1083.112\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

6. Explain why the boiling point of water is a characteristic physical property, but the temperature and volume of a glass of wa
NNADVOKAT [17]
A physical property is a property that does not change the original substance, meaning that it does not break any bonds, nor for any new ones. Though, a physical property can be changing the substances state of matter. 

When you are boiling water, you are changing its state to go from a liquid to a gas. The temperature is not a characteristic physical property because it doesn't help us know a lot about that substance, in other words, it isn't significant to the substance. Same goes for volume.
