In oil and gas industry:
When crude oil get extracted from well, salt water and some other stuff needs to be removed before oil can be sued in the car
Answer:
Electron-pair geometry: tetrahedral
Molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal
Hybridization: sp³
sp³ - 4 p
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>For NBr₃, What are its electron-pair and molecular geometries? What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom? What orbitals on N and Br overlap to form bonds between these elements?</em>
<em>The N-Br bonds are formed by the overlap of the ___ hybrid orbitals on nitrogen with ___ orbitals on Br.</em>
<em />
Nitrogen is a central atom surrounded by 4 electron domains. According to VESPR, the corresponding electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral.
Of these 4 electron domains, 3 represent covalent bonds with Br and 1 lone pair. According to VESPR, the corresponding molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal.
In the nitrogen atom, 1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals hybridize to form 4 sp³ orbitals for each of the electron domains.
The N-Br bonds are formed by the overlap of the sp³ hybrid orbitals on nitrogen with 4p orbitals on Br.
Add up all the molar masses of the elements multiplied by the number of atoms each.
Molar mass of carbon = 12.01g
Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01g
Molar mass of oxygen = 16g
9(12.01) + 8(1.01) + 4(16)
Molar mass of aspirin = 180.17g
