Describe the hybridization of each carbon and nitrogen atom in each of the following structures

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
7 0

Clockwise from the carbon connected to three H atoms:

  • C: sp³
  • N: sp³
  • C: sp³
  • C: sp²
  • N: sp².
<h3>Explanation</h3>

Start by finding the number of electron domains on each C and N atom. Why the number of electron domains? The number of electron domains of an atom indicates it hybridization. For atoms in period two (which includes both C and N):

  • An atom with four electron domains is sp³ hybridized.
  • An atom with three electron domains is sp² hybridized.
  • An atom with two electron domains is sp hybridized.

How many electron domains on each of the atoms?

For each atom:

  • Each atom that the atom in question is connected to (via covalent bonds, for sure) counts towards one electron domain. This rule shall hold for bonds of all orders. (i.e., No matter if the the two atoms are connected via a Single bond, a double bond, or a triple bond.) In other words, each C-C or C-N single bond counts towards one electron domain. Each C=N double bond also counts towards one electron domain.
  • Each lone pair on the atom in question counts towards one electron domain. Keep in mind that there are two electrons in one lone pair. (Hence the name "pair".)

For example:

  • The carbon atom at the bottom of the graph is connected to four other atoms- three Hs and one N. There's no lone pair on that atom. That C atom contains four electron domains, which implies that the atom is sp³ hybridized.
  • The nitrogen atom near the right end of the molecule is connected to two other atoms- one C and one H. There's one lone pair on that molecule. 2 + 1 = 3. That N atom contains three electron domains, which implies that the atom is sp² hybridized.

Try to figure out the number of electron domains on the rest of the atoms. Then determine their hybridization. In conclusion, clockwise from the carbon connected to three H atoms:

  • C: sp³
  • N: sp³
  • C: sp³
  • C: sp²
  • N: sp².

Osmotic pressure Π is given by the relation:Π = iMRTwhere i is the van’t Hoff factor, M is the concentration of solute, R is the
lions [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of solute is 0.503 mol/L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

\pi=icRT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure of the solution = 24 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 2 (for NaCl)

c = concentration of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.08\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the solution = 25^oC=[273+25]=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

24atm=2\times c\times 0.08\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\c=0.503mol/L

Hence, the concentration of solute is 0.503 mol/L

How do you decide whether a sample of matter is a solid,liquid,or gas?
prohojiy [21]
As solid is a hard surface and it can be changed to any shape although it is placed to any container whereas liquid can be poured from one container to another and gases have less bulk so they are not exaggerated by gravity

At a high concentration do you have more or less particles per unit volume
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

More particles per unit volume

Explanation:

Concentration means the amount of solute in a solution. Now, the amount of solute also means the number of particles of solute present in a solution.

Hence, when we use the term "high concentration", we imply that the amount of solute present or the number of particles present in a solution is high.

Thus, at high concentration, there are more solute particles than solvent particles in a solution.
