A square chunk of plastic has a length of 5 cm, width of 5 cm and height of 5 cm. It has a mass of 200 g. What is it’s density
vichka [17]

Answer:

1.6g/mL

Explanation:

Density equation is D=m/v

Density = g/mL

m=mass of sample in grams

v = volume of sample in mL

The volume of a square can be calculated by V=l*w*h.

In this case it is 5cm*5cm*5cm = 125cm^3

Since we know that 1cm^3 ~ 1mL we can convert the volume to mL as so:

125cm^3 (1mL/(1cm^3)) = 125mL

Then simply plug into the density equation:

D=200g/125mL = 1.6g/mL

What hybridization is required for central atoms that have a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs? A trigo- nal planar arra
Reika [66]

Answer:

sp³;

sp²;

sp;

None;

One;

Two;

They're used to pi bonds.

Explanation:

The central atom in a molecule is generally the one that can make a greater number of bonds. The covalent bonds are made by the sharing of electrons, and, for that, the electron must be alone in the orbital.

To explain this, the hybridization theory was created, which states that, the orbitals are joined to form hybrids ones, and so, by the Hund's law, the electrons are alone in them.

The sigma bonds are done in the hybrids orbitals, and at the pure orbitals, the pi bonds are done. The lone pair of electrons are at a pure orbital. So, to know the hybridization of the central atom, we must know how many sigma bonds it does, and it will be the number of hybrids orbitals (each orbital may have two electrons, thus each bond are done in one orbital).

Double bonds and triple bonds have always only one sigma bond, so the number of sigma bonds is equal to the number of bonds, it's not necessary to know if they are simple, double or triple.

When the arrangement is tetrahedral, the central atom does 4 bonds, so it has 4 sigma bonds, and 4 hybrids orbitals (one of s and three for p), does its hybridization is sp³. Because exists only 3 p orbitals, there are no unhybridized p orbitals in this case.

When the arrangement is trigonal, the central atom does 3 bonds, so it has 3 hybrids orbitals (one of s and two of p), thus the hybridization is sp². So there are one unhybridized p orbitals.

When the arrangement is linear, the central atom does 2 bonds, so it has 2 hybrids orbitals (one of s and one of p), thus the hybridization is sp. So, there are two unhybridized p atoms.

As stated before, the unhybridized p orbitals are used to pi bonds.

What is the total number of oxygen atoms represented in the formula na2c03.10h2o?
Wewaii [24]

As per the given chemical formula- Na2CO3.10H2O, one mole of the chemical compound contains 13 moles of oxygen atoms. Hence

Number of moles of oxygen atoms in one mole of Na2CO3.10H2O = 13

number of moles of oxygen atoms in 0.2 moles of Na2CO3.10H2O = 13 X 0.2 = 2.6

Now, one mole of a substance contains 6.022 X 10^23 particles of the substance. Thus

number of atoms of oxygen in one mole of oxygen atom = 6.022 X 10^23

number of moles of oxygen atoms in 2.6 moles of oxygen atoms = 2.6 X 6.022 X 10^23 = 15.657 X 10^23

= 1.566 X 10^24

Thus, there are 1.566 X 10^24 atoms of oxygen in 0.2 moles of Na2CO3.10H2O.

Give the quantum number set for one electron in the 3p sub level of a sulfur (S)
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:- Atomic number for sulfur is 16 and it's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^4. Here, there are total for electrons in 3p and the set of quantum numbers for these 4 electrons would be as..

For the first electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = -1 and ms = +(1/2)

for the second electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = 0 and ms = +(1/2)

for the third electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = +1 and ms = +(1/2)

and for the fourth electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = -1 and ms = -(1/2)
