Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

  • sp^{3}, four electron domains, as in ethane \text{C}_2\text{H}_6
  • sp^{2}, three electron domains, as in ethene \text{C}_2\text{H}_4
  • sp, two electron domains, as in ethyne \text{C}_2\text{H}_2

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

  • Carbon atoms with a sp^{3} hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately 109.5\textdegree{}
  • Carbon atoms with a sp^{2} hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of 120\textdegree{}
  • Carbon atoms with a sp hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of 180\textdegree{}

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

  • sp^{3} in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
  • sp^{2} in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.

Based on the graph of US population and steel consumption, what could have led to the increase in steel consumption seen
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. Whenever the population has increased, steel consumption has increased as well.

Explanation:

Based on the graph of US population and steel consumption, what could have led to the increase in steel consumption seen  on the graph is that whenever the population has increased, steel consumption has increased as well.

A critical look at the graph, you will discover that the population and the steel consumption are moving upwards (i.e they are increasing). It's seen that as the population increases, steel consumption increases. This is true because as the population increases, people are building houses, more transportation systems that require steel are being manufactured, more household utensils that are steel products are being fabricated etc; therefore the consumption of steel increases.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

                    1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

                           6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

                 6 moles of O₂ are produced by  =  6 moles of CO₂

So,

                1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by  =  X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

                     X =  1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.
