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!

Which of these limiting factors is MOST likely to affect low-growing plants in a tropical forest? Group of answer choices air wa
Georgia [21]

Answer:

air, water, sunlight

Explanation:

A limiting factor may be defined as a environmental condition or a resource that can limit the plant growth as well as distribution or the abundance of an organism or its population within the ecosystem. The ability  of any plant species to grow and spread throughout any geographic area is the direct result of the adaption to its biotic  and abiotic components of that region.

Some of the factor that affect the plant growth are : sunlight, air, proper temperature, moisture, nutrients, wind,etc.

The lack of the any one of the above essential component will determine the health of the  plant.

2. Calculate the density of a metal that occupies 17.75 cm and has a mass of 342.93 g. [D = m/V]
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

19.32

Explanation:

the density is given by the mass over volume

the mass In this case is 342.93 and the volume is 17.75

d=342.93g/17.75cm

=19.32g/cm

Nitrogen dioxide is a red-brown gas responsible for the brown color of smog. A container of nitrogen dioxide that is at low pres
____ [38]

Answer:

Initially 1.51\times 10^{-2} moles of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .

Explanation:

Volume of the container at low pressure and at room temperature =V_1=3.4 L

Number of moles in the container = n_1

After more addition of nitrogen gas at the same pressure and temperature.

Volume of the container after addition = V_2=5.11 L

Number of moles in the container after addition=n_2=2.28\times 10^{-2} mol

Applying Avogadro's law:

\frac{Volume}{Moles}=constant (at constant pressure and temperature)

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}

n_1=\frac{V_1\times n_2}{V_2}=\frac{3.4 L\times 2.28\times 10^{-2} mol}{5.11 L}

n_1=1.51\times 10^{-2} mol

Initially 1.51\times 10^{-2} moles of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .
