zysi [14]3 years ago

Explanation:

When carbon atom tends to form single bonds then its hybridization is sp^{3}, when carbon atom tends to form double bond then its hybridization is sp^{2} and when a carbon atom is attached to a triple bond or with two double bonds then its hydridization is sp.

For example, in HCN molecule there is a triple existing between the carbon and nitrogen atom.

So, hybridization of carbon in this molecules is sp. Moreover, nitrogen atom is also attached via triple bond and it also has a lone pair of electrons. Hence, the hybridization of nitrogen atom is also sp.

Thus, we can conclude that s and p type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:

when a solution of sodium chloride is added to a solution of copper(ii) nitrate, no precipitate is observed. Write the molexular
zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

1.

Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl(aq) --> CuCl2(aq) + 2NaNO3(aq)

2.

Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaOH(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

A light blue precipitate of Cu(OH)2 is formed and NaNO3 in solution.

3.

Cu(NO3)2(aq) --> Cu2+(aq) + 2NO3^-2(aq)

2NaOH(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(aq)

2Na+(aq) + 2NO3^-2(aq) --> 2NaNO3(aq)

4.

The reaction in both Questions 1 and 2 is called Double displacement reaction. A double-replacement reaction exchanges the cations and/or or the anions of two ionic compounds. A precipitation reaction is a double-replacement reaction in which one product is a solid precipitate (precipitated) while the other in solution.

Since the cation and anions in Qustion 1 were exchanged, the same was done for Question 2, hence the identity of the precipitate in Question 2 was got.

A student constructs a galvanic cell that has a strip of iron metal immersed in a solution of 0.1M Fe(NO3)2 as one half-cell and
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

The cell potential is:

ΔE°cell = E°red(red) - E°red(oxid)

Where, E°red(red) is the reduction potential of the substance that is reducing, and E°red(oxid) is the reduction potential of the substance that is oxidizing. For the reaction be spontaneous and happen, ΔE°cell > 0.

The reduction takes place in the cathode, which is the negative pole, and the oxidation in the anode, which is the positive pole. So, the electrons flow from the positive pole to the negative pole (anode to cathode).

Then, if the voltmeter measured a negative potential, it means that is was attached incorrectly. So, the anode is Fe.
