Answer: tetrahedral

Explanation:

Hybridization is calculated using the Lewis dot structures of all the compounds.

Formula used to calculate the number of atomic orbitals around central metal atom is:

Number of atomic orbitals around central metal atom = Number of bond pairs + Number of lone pairs

Bond pairs for a double bond and triple bond is taken as 1 only.

Given: Number of bond pairs = 4

Number of lone pairs = 0

If Number of atomic orbitals around central metal atom are 4 , the hybridization is $sp^3$ and electron domain geometry is tetrahedral.

From a 2.875 g sample containing only iron, sand, and salt, 0.660 g of iron and 1.161 g of sand were separated and recovered. Wh

Serjik [45]

Answer:

36.66%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of iron: 0.660 g

Mass of sand: 1.161 g

Mass of the sample: 2.875 g

Mass of salt: ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of salt

The mass of the sample is equal to the sum of the masses of the components.

m(sample) = m(iron) + m(sand) + m(salt)

m(salt) = m(sample) - m(iron) - m(sand)

m(salt) = 2.875 g - 0.660 g - 1.161 g

m(salt) = 1.054 g

Step 3: Calculate the percent of salt in the sample

We will use the following expression.

%(salt) = m(salt) / m(sample) × 100%

%(salt) = 1.054 g / 2.875 g × 100% = 36.66%
