Which of the following compounds would have a linear molecular geometry? 1. N2 2. H2S 3. CO2 a. 1 and 3 only b.1 and 2 only c.2
and 3 only d.1,2 and 3 neither 1, 2,or 3
1 answer:
Answer: 1 and 3 only
Explanation:
The structures of N2 and CO2 show both to be linear compounds from the images attached. In molecular nitrogen, the two nitrogen atoms are sp hybridized just as the two carbon atoms in CO2 are sp hybridized. sp hybridization is associated with linear shape because it leads to a bond angle of 180°. Hence the answer.

Explanation:
The ethanol combustion reaction is:
→
If we had the amount (x moles) of ethanol, we would calculate the oxygen moles required:
Dividing the previous equation by x:
We would need 3.30 oxygen moles per ethanol mole.
Then we apply the composition relation between O2 and N2 in the feed air:
Then calculate the oxygen moles number leaving the reactor, considering that 0.85 ethanol moles react and the stoichiometry of the reaction:
Calculate the number of moles of CO2 and water considering the same:
The total number of moles at the reactor output would be:
So, the oxygen mole fraction would be:
