Answer to this is O-atom.

Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.

$A^+ + B^- \rightarrow A-B$

where $A^+$ is the Lewis Acid and $B^-$ is the Lewis Base and $A-B$ is the Covalent Bond.

Reaction of dissociation of $HNO2$ in $H_2O$ is given as:

$HNO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_2^-$

In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from $HNO_2$ forming a Lewis Base.

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. follow this method. a nickel coin has a mass of about 5 g.

Lady bird [3.3K]

The mass of a nickel coin is 5 g.
1 mol of Ni weighs 58 g. 1 mol contains 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ni.
therefore in 58 g there are 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ni
then in 5 g the number of Ni atoms are - 6.022 x 10²³ /58 x 5 = 5.2 x 10²² Ni atoms
Therefore number of Ni atoms are 5.2 x 10²² atoms in a nickel coin

Consider two gases, A and B, are in a container at room temperature. What effect will the following changes have on the rate of

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B: increase.

Explanation:

When we are considering two gases A and B in a container at room temperature .

We have to find the change on rate of reaction when the number of molecules of gases A is doubled

Let [A]=a and [B]=b

A+B $\rightarrow$ product

Rate of reaction

$R_1=k[A][B]=kab$

We know that concentration is increases with increase in number of moles

When the number of molecules of gases A is doubled then concentration of gases A increases.

Therefore ,[A]=2a

Rate of reaction

$R_2=k(2a)(b)=2kab$

$R_2=2R_1$

Hence, the rate of reaction is 2 times the initial rate of reaction.Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase when the number of molecules of gases A is doubled.

Answer: B: increase.

What is the orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to:

svlad2 [7]

$sp^3d$ is the type of orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to four other atoms.

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.
