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.

A solution of salt water is boiled. The water evaporates and solid salt remains. Which statement is true?
Scorpion4ik [409]
C because neither the water or salt have changed their molecular structure. H2O is still H2O and NaCl is still NaCl.

How many moles of O₂ are needed to burn 2.5 moles of CH₃OH?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

3.75 moles

Explanation:

The chemical equation is 2CH₃OH + 3O₂ -> 2CO₂ + 4H₂O

2 moles of CH₃OH are burned by 3 moles of O₂

For 2.5 moles of CH₃OH are burned by x moles of O₂

Let's solve for x :

2*x=2.5*3 => 2*x=7.5 => x=3.75 moles of O₂ are needed to burn 2.5 moles of CH₃OH

How will the properties of a biological membrane change if the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are converted from saturate
kumpel [21]
Some of the properties that will change as the biological membrane composed primarily of phospholipids change from the saturated to unsaturated fatty acid tails of the phospholipid would include, permeability of the membrane, this will cause the membrane to be more fluid and not remain as controlling of the materials. The membrane will ultimately become poor in regulating ions and other materials from coming into the cell, as the phospholipids are not tightly packed due to them being unsaturated and having carbon double bonds within them. This can also affect the overall shape of the plasma membrane as well, causing it to be not as structured, and more fluid,

Explain how to label a compound as a Bronstead-Lowry acid or base .
-BARSIC- [3]

Explanation:

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.

A base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For example:

HCl(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow Cl^-(aq)+NH_4^{+}(aq)

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

And, NH_3 is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms NH_4^{+} which is a conjugate acid.
