Cl is highly electronegative and will actually pull away 1 electron from sodium, forming an ionic bond.

Determine if each statement is True or False. [ Select ] Central atoms with four electron groups will be sp3 hybridized. [ Selec

meriva

Answer:

Central atoms with four electron groups will be sp3 hybridized. True

Hybrid orbitals are delocalized over the entire molecule. False

The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are blended together. True

Atoms with a single pi bond and an octet are sp2 hybridized. True

Sometimes oxygen atoms will be sp3d hybridized in organic molecules. False

All resonance structures must be considered when assigning hybridization. False

Explanation:

When a central atom has four electron groups attached to it, then it must be sp3 hybridized. This is the case in ammonia, water, hydrogen sulphide, methane etc.

Hybridization is a valence bond concept while delocalization is a molecular orbital theory concept. Hybridized orbitals are localized on central atoms in a molecule while delocalized orbitals spread across the entire molecule.

According to valence bond theory, the number of atomic orbitals that combined to give hybrid orbitals must be equal to the number of hybrid orbitals formed.

When an atom has a single pi bond and on octet of electrons, then it must be sp2 hybridized. Remember that in ethene for instance, carbon has one pi bond and an octet of electrons.

Oxygen has an empty n=3 level hence it can not have d-orbitals involved in hybridization.

The electron domain geometry of the molecule is considered when assigning hybridization and not the resonance structures. All the resonance structures must have the central atom in the same hybridization state.

9. If 28.56 g of K2O is produced when 25.00 g K is reactedaccording to the following equation, what is the percent yieldof the r

Mumz [18]

Answer

b. 95%

Explanation

Given:

Mass of K₂O produced (actual yield) = 28.56 g

Mass of K that reacted = 25.00 g

Equation: 4K(s) + O₂(g) → 2K₂0(s)

What to find:

The percent yield of K₂O.

Step-by-step solution:

The first step is to calculate the theoretical yield of K₂O produced.

From the balanced equation, 4 mol K produced 2 mol K₂O

Molar mass of K₂O = 94.20 g/mol)

Molar mass of K = 39.10 g/mol)

This means 4 mol x 39.10 g/mol = 156.40 g K produced 2 mol x 94.20 g/mol = 188.40 g K₂O

So 25.00 g K will produce:

$\frac{25.00\text{ }g\text{ }K\times188.40\text{ }g\text{ }K₂O}{156.40\text{ }g\text{ }K}=30.1151\text{ }g\text{ }K₂O$

Actual yield of K₂O = 28.56 g

Theoretical yield of k₂O = 30.1151 g

The percent yield for the reaction can now be calculated using the formula below:

$\begin{gathered} Percent\text{ }yield=\frac{Actual\text{ }yield}{Theoretical\text{ }yield}\times100\% \\ \\ Percent\text{ }yield=\frac{28.56\text{ }g}{30.1151\text{ }g}\times100\% \\ \\ Percent\text{ }yield=0.9484\times100\% \\ \\ Percent\text{ }yield=94.84\%\approx95\% \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the percent yield for the reaction is 95%.

Nitrogen gas is more abundant in our atmosphere than oxygen! However, nitrogen needs to be converted into different forms to be

Pavlova-9 [17]

Explanation:

(A)role of nittogen fixing bacteria

=Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.

B)role of nitrifying bacteria

=Nitrifying bacteria convert the most reduced form of soil nitrogen, ammonia, into its most oxidized form, nitrate. In itself, this is important for soil ecosystem function, in controlling losses of soil nitrogen through leaching and denitrification of nitrate.

C)role of denitrifying bacteria

=Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates back to nitrogen gas.
