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!

216 J of energy is required to raise the temperature of a piece of aluminum from 15.0º C to to 35º C.
ddd [48]

Answer: 12g

Explanation:

The amount of energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that:

Q = 216 joules

Mass of aluminium = ? (let unknown value be Z)

C = 0.90 JºC-1g-1

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 35°C - 15°C = 20°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

216 J = Z x 0.90 JºC-1g-1 x 20°C

216 J = Z x 18 J°g-1

Z = (216J/18 J°g-1)

Z = 12g

Thus, the mass of the aluminium is 12grams

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?
lorasvet [3.4K]
In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.

A large cyclotron directs a beam of He++ nuclei onto a target with a beam current of 0.250 mA. (a) How many He++ nuclei per seco
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. 7.8*10¹⁴ He⁺⁺ nuclei/s

b. 4000s

c. 7.7*10⁸s

Explanation:

I = 0.250mA = 2.5 * 10⁻³A

Q = 1.0C

1 e- contains 1.60 * 10⁻¹⁹C

But He⁺⁺ Carrie's 2 charge = 2 * 1.60*10⁻¹⁹C = 3.20*10⁻¹⁹C

(A).

No. Of charge per second = current passing through / charge

1 He⁺⁺ = 2.50 * 10⁻⁴ / 3.2*10⁻¹⁹C

1 He⁺⁺ = 7.8 * 10¹⁴ He⁺⁺ nuclei

(B).

I = Q / t

From this equation, we can determine the time it takes to transfer 1.0C

I = 1.0 / 2.5*10⁻⁴ = 4000s

(C).

Time it takes for 1 mol of He⁺⁺ to strike the target =?

Using Avogadro's ratio,

1.0 mole of He = (6.02 * 10²³ ions/mol ) * (1 / 7.81*10¹⁴ He ions)

Note : ions cancel out leaving the value of the answer in mols.

1.0 mol of He = 7.7 * 10⁸s
