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.

Estimate the heat of neutralization of H3PO4 in kJ/mol given these data: Heat transferred = 2.5 x 102 J Moles of H3PO4 = 1.4 x 1

OlgaM077 [116]

Below are the steps to get the answers:

<span>1.) write out the balance equation 3NaOh+H3PO4->Na3PO4+3H2O

2.) You are given everything needed to calculate q=heat transfer=2.2*10^2, H3PO4 moles= 1.5*10^-3, NaOH moles=5.0*10^-3

3.) equation is deltaHneutraliztion=q/Moles of limiting reagent H3PO4 is limiting reagent because lowest moles, and is used up first

4.) Now plug in variables DeltaH=2.2*10^2(1.5*10^3)= 146.67kj/mole Notice we had to convert J to kj, </span>
