Which hybridization of orbitals is present in beryllium fluoride, BeF2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer is: beryllium fluoride has sp hybridization.

Beryllium (Be) is metal from group 2 and fluorine (F) is nonmetal from group 17.

Electron configuration of beryllium atom: ₄Be: 1s² 2s².

Electron configuration of fluorine atom: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.

In beryllium, one electron from 2s orbital gets excitted to the level of 2p orbital; s and p orbital are hybridized and form two sp-hybridised  orbitals arranged in a linear shape.

Two fluorine atoms come closer to beryllium atom and sp hybridised orbitals of Be and p orbital of F get overlapped with each other and make bonds.

Which is an example of a double
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when two reactants exchange cations or anions to yield two new products.

From all the reactions given ,

  • 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl is an example of combination reaction because two or more reactants (Na & Cl₂) react with each other to form a single product (NaCl)
  • H₂SO₃ → H₂O + SO₂ is an example of decomposition reaction because a single reactant (H₂SO₃) breaks down into two or more products (H₂O & SO₂).
  • 2K + 2H₂O → 2KOH + H₂ is an example of displacement reaction because a highly reactive element (K) displaces a least reactive element (H) from its compound (H₂O).
  • NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl is an example of double replacement reaction because there's an exchange between Cations (Na^+ & Ag^{+}) and Anions (Cl^- & F^-).

PLA is a bioplastic that is biodegradable. Explain how is is created and why it is biodegradable.
Ratling [72]

Explanation:

<h3>PLA is a polyester produced by fermentation under controlled conditions of a carbohydrate source like corn starch or sugarcane. ... The starch is then mixed with acid or enzymes and heated. This process “breaks” starch into dextrose (D-glucose), or corn sugar.</h3>

<h3>PLA is a polymer made from high levels of polylactic acid molecules. </h3><h3>For PLA to biodegrade, you must break up the polymer by adding </h3><h3>water to it (a process known as hydrolyzing). Heat and moisture are required for hydrolyzing to occur.</h3>

<h3>PLA consists of renewable raw materials and is biodegradable in industrial composting plants. </h3><h3>However, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is difficult to </h3><h3>compost PLA industrially or to</h3><h3> recycle it.</h3>

AveGali [126]

Answer;

- A 100 mL graduated cylinder since it has marks showing the volume of the substance measured.

Explanation;

-A graduated cylinder or a measuring cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure precise volumes of a liquid.

-Graduated cylinders are specifically designed to measure out liquid volumes. Their tall narrow design makes for a more precise reading of the liquid level as compared to other pieces used to measure volume.

At 20 ∘C the vapor pressure of benzene C6H6 is 75 torr and that of toluene C7H8 is 22 torr. Assume that benzene and toluene fo
Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) Xbenzene = 0.283

b) Xtoluene = 0.717

Explanation:

At T = 20°C:

⇒ vapor pressure of benzene (P*b) = 75 torr

⇒ vapor pressure toluene (P*t) = 22 torr

Raoult's law:

  • Pi = Xi.P*i

∴ Pi: partial pressure of i

∴ Xi: mole fraction

∴ P*i: vapor pressure at T

a) solution: benzene (b) + toluene (t)

∴ Psln = 37 torr;   at T=20°C

⇒ Psln = Pb + Pt

∴ Pb = (Xb)*(P*b)

∴ Pt = (Xt)*(P*t)

∴ Xb + Xt = 1

⇒ Psln = 37 torr = (Xb)(75 torr) + (1 - Xb)(22 torr)

⇒ 37 torr - 22 torr = (75 torr)Xb - (22 torr)Xb

⇒ 15 torr = 53 torrXb

⇒ Xb = 15 torr / 53 torr

⇒ Xb = 0.283

b) Xb + Xt = 1

⇒ Xt = 1 - Xb

⇒ Xt = 1 - 0.283

⇒ Xt = 0.717
