Question: <em>What is the hybridization of each carbon and oxygen atoms in vitamin C​?</em>

Answer:

1. To decide the hybridization of a carbon, look at how many atoms are attached to it (including the hydrogens that may be unwritten). If there are 4 total atoms attached (all with single bonds), the carbon must have sp3 orbitals (there are 4 of them). If 3, then sp2. If 2, then sp. Carbon can't be sp3d or sp3d2 hybridized because carbon is in the 2nd period of the periodic table and doesn't possess any d orbitals to hybridize.

2. Not sure what this question means. Did you mean to type just C-C bonds? If so, just count the number of bonds between 2 carbon atoms!

3. Use VSEPR. The bond angle is as great as possible, based on the repulsion of the valence electron pairs (both bonded and lone). This is also related to hybridization. sp3 hybrid orbitals are 109.5 degress apart, sp2 is 120, sp is 180.

4. See part 1. Determine the hybridization of both C4 and C5. The overlap of an orbital from each carbon is what forms the sigma bond.

Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 51.0 g of Cl2 (and excess P4)?
slava [35]

Answer:

0.287 mole of PCl5.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 51g of Cl2. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71g/mol

Mass of Cl2 = 51g

Number of mole of Cl2 =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of Cl2 = 51/71 = 0.718 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

P4 + 10Cl2 → 4PCl5

Finally, we determine the number of mole of PCl5 produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

10 moles of Cl2 reacted to produce 4 moles of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.718 mole of Cl2 will react to produce = (0.718 x 4)/10 = 0.287 mole of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.287 mole of PCl5 is produced from the reaction.
