What is the percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid? O 25% 50% o 75% O 66%
marishachu [46]

Answer: 50%

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs are 2 for hybridization to be sp and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

1. percentage of s character in sp hybrid orbital =\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 100=50\%

2. percentage of s character in sp^2 hybrid orbital =\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 100=33.3\%

3. percentage of s character in sp^3 hybrid orbital =\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%

Thus percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid is 50%.

You are given two closed containers. Each containing a liquid solvent. Ammonia and table salt will dissolve in container A. Hexa
snow_tiger [21]
Ammonia and table salt dissolves in polar solvents, so A is water,
CO2 and hexane are non-polar substances, so they are going to be dissolved in non-polar solvent, so I think it is going to be carbon tetrachloride

Answer is <span>A) A - water; B - carbon tetrachloride

Table salt does not dissolve in oil and CCl4, and Br2 is too active and it is going to react with NH3.</span>

A cylinder is fitted with a moveable piston that can be raised and lowered. What would result in an increase in the pressure of
juin [17]

Answer:

decrease the volume of the cylinder.

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this question we have to understand what Boyle's law is. According to Boyle's law; at constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to to its volume.

The Boyle's law shows us the relationship between the pressure and the volume. So, the Important thing to note hear is that if the volume in a container is decreased then the pressure will increase (and vice versa) due to the fact that as the volume decreases the particles in that container makes more collision which will make the pressure to increase.

Since, the piston is moveable it means that we can decrease and increase the volume in the cylinder. So, if the decrease the volume of the cylinder then we will have an increase in the pressure of the gas below the piston.
