Hey there!

No of hybrid orbitals , H = ( V +S - C + A ) / 2

Where H = no . of hybrid orbitals

V = Valence of the central atom = 5

S = No . of single valency atoms = 4

C = No . of cations = 1

A = No . of anions = 0

For PCl4 +

Plug the values we get H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

H =  4 ---> sp3 hybridization

sp3 hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorous in the PCl4+ cations

Answer C

Hope that helps!

A 5.0 balloon containing nitrogen gas is cooled from 25 degrees to 5°C. What is the final volume of the balloon?
mylen [45]

Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

V1=5.0

T1=25+ 273=298

V2= z(unknown)

T2=5+273=278

V1/T1 =V2/T2

V2=V1T2/T1

=5*298/278

=5.4

Calculate the pH at the equivalence point for the titration of 0.110 M methylamine (CH3NH2) with 0.110 M HCl. The Kb of methylam
nikklg [1K]
The reaction between the reactants would be:

CH₃NH₂ + HCl ↔ CH₃NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

Let the conjugate acid undergo hydrolysis. Then, apply the ICE approach.

             CH₃NH₃⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃NH₂
I                0.11                       0             0
C               -x                          +x           +x
E            0.11 - x                     x             x

Ka = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]

Since the given information is Kb, let's find Ka in terms of Kb.

Ka = Kw/Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴

So,
Ka = 10⁻¹⁴/5×10⁻⁴ = 2×10⁻¹¹ = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
2×10⁻¹¹ = [x][x]/[0.11-x]
Solving for x,
x = 1.483×10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

Since pH = -log[H₃O⁺],
pH = -log(1.483×10⁻⁶)
<em>pH = 5.83</em>

What is atomic mass of an element stands for
Dovator [93]
Mass is a basic property of matter and is made of atoms. Atoms are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons make up the majority of the mass in an atom. Atoms may vary in the number of neutrons they have (called isotopes), and therefore the exact atomic mass may vary from atom to atom

Answer:

A very large amount of energy is produced from a series of chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei (usually large nuclei). When large nuclei, such as uranium-235, fissions, energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.
