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.

The temperature of 335 g of water changed from 24.5oC to 26.4oC. How much heat did this sample absorb? C for water = 4.18 J/goC
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: The sample absorbed 3061.565J

Explanation:

Given that  

Mass of water  = 335g

Initial temperature  = 24.5°C

Final temperature = 26.4°C

Heat  absorbed by the sample is given as  = mass x specific heat of water x  temperature change

Heat  absorbed,q=mCΔt

The specific heat of water,C  = 4.81J/g°C

 

Therefore,  Heat absorbed,q  = 335 x 4.81h x (26.4  - 24.5)  = 3061.565J

PLS HELP!I will give brainliest! When producing hydrogen iodide, the energy of the reactants is 581 kJ/mol, and the energy of th
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Here, we are required to determine the total energy of the reaction and determine if the reaction is an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

The correct answer is option C.

First, we need to determine the energy of the reaction.

The energy of the reaction is the change in enthalpy between the product and reactants.

Change of Enthalpy,

Hreaction = Hproduct - Hreactant.

Therefore, for the reaction above, the change in enthalpy is:

Hreaction = 590kJ/mol - 581kJ/mol.

Hreaction = 9kJ/mol.

Hence, since the reaction has an enthalpy change of 9kJ/mol, the reaction is endothermic (i.e energy is absorbed).
