Answer 1) To find the hybridization of carbon we need to draw the lewis structure first; which is attached in the answer.

So the formula for finding hybridization is 
Lone pairs + Bonding pairs = hybridisation.

Here, in the molecule of methionine Carbon is bonded to all 4 atoms and has got no lone pairs so we will have;

0 + 4 = 4 which means it is sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 2) For oxygen we can see in the lewis structure that it is having 2 lone pairs and double bonded with carbon atom, also there is another oxygen atom with two lone pair but bonded with carbon and hydrogen at the end.

So, in both the cases we can calculate;

where 2 lone pairs are present  
2 + 2 = 4 so, it will be sp^{3} hybridized.

So, Oxygen is also sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 3) Nitrogen present in the methionine is bonded to carbon atom and hydrogen atoms and has only one lone pair on it.

So when we are substituting this in the formula we get 1 + 3 = 4;

which means 1 lone pair and 3 bond pairs so, it is also sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 4) Sulfur atom in methionine is bonded to two carbon atoms forming a linear structure with 2 lone pairs on it.

So, it has 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs,

hence the hybridization will be  sp^{3} hybridized. 

As, 2 + 2 = 4 which means it is  sp^{3} hybridized.

How many moles of Ammonium Sulfate can be made from 30.0mol of NH3? 2NH3 + H2SO4 --> (NH4)2SO4
BartSMP [9]

Answer: 15.0 moles of (NH_4)_2SO_4 are formed from  30.0 mol of NH_3

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2NH_3+H_2SO_4\rightarrow (NH_4)_2SO_4

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of NH_3 give = 1 mole of (NH_4)_2SO_4

Thus 30.0 moles of NH_3 will give =\frac{1}{2}\times 30.0=15.0moles  of (NH_4)_2SO_4

Thus 15.0 moles of (NH_4)_2SO_4 are formed from  30.0 mol of NH_3

The energy stored in molecular bonds is called _____.
makvit [3.9K]
Correct answer is chemical energy.

Reason:

For the chemical reactions to occur, energy is to be supplied for breaking and reorganization of bonds. This energy can be in form of heat, light, etc. Since, breaking of bonds results in chemical reactions to occur, t<span>he energy stored in molecular bonds is called Chemical energy.</span>

Explain the scientific meaning and use of the word "transformation".
sladkih [1.3K]

Transformation in chemistry is scientifically used to explain the process of changing one compound to another in a chemical reaction.

<h3>What is transformation?</h3>

The word "transformation" has a very special significance in chemistry. We know that in English, to transform would simply imply to change from one form to another. This is not quite far from its meaning in the parlance of chemistry.

The word transformation is normally applied in the area of chemical reactions especially as it has to do with reaction with in organic chemistry. It has to do with the change from one molecule to another and this is of great importance in the discussion of synthetic chemistry.

As such, the word transformation in chemistry is scientifically used to explain the process of changing one compound to another in a chemical reaction.
