Answer:

O₈¹⁷

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

In given statement there are 8 electrons it means the atomic number of given atom is 8 so it would oxygen. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while in given statement mass is 17 it means it is the isotope of oxygen that have one more neutron than oxygen 16.

Isotope of an element have same atomic number but different atomic mass due to different number of neutrons.

Titration of 0.824 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate required 38.314 g of naoh solution to reach the end point detected by pheno

melamori03 [73]

1.062 mol/kg.

Step 1. Write the balanced equation for the neutralization.

MM = 204.22 40.00

KHC8H4O4 + NaOH → KNaC8H4O4 + H2O

Step 2. Calculate the moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP)

Moles of KHP = 824 mg KHP × (1 mmol KHP/204.22 mg KHP)

= 4.035 mmol KHP

Step 3. Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 4.035 mmol KHP × (1 mmol NaOH/(1 mmol KHP)

= 4.035 mmol NaOH

Step 4. Calculate the mass of the NaOH

Mass of NaOH = 4.035 mmol NaOH × (40.00 mg NaOH/1 mmol NaOH)

= 161 mg NaOH

Step 5. Calculate the mass of the water

Mass of water = mass of solution – mass of NaOH = 38.134 g - 0.161 g

= 37.973 g

Step 6. Calculate the molal concentration of the NaOH

b = moles of NaOH/kg of water = 0.040 35 mol/0.037 973 kg = 1.062 mol/kg

Give the hybridization for the c in hcch. group of answer choices

Tamiku [17]

The hybridization for C in acetylene, HCCH, or C₂H₂ is 'sp'.

Discussion:

There are three different forms of hybridization -

sp- The first occurs when two carbon atoms are triple linked.
sp₂- When two carbon atoms are double-bonded to one another, this is known as sp₂.
sp₃- When a single bond joins two carbon atoms, this is known as sp₃.

In the case of acetylene(HCCH or C₂H₂):

The carbon atom requires additional electrons to establish four bonds with hydrogen and other carbon atoms in the synthesis of C₂H₂. One 2s₂ pair is consequently transferred to the vacant 2pz orbital. Each carbon has two sp hybrid orbitals after the 2s orbital in each atom combines with one of the 2p orbitals.
As a result of the atoms' symmetrical alignment in a single plane, C₂H₂ possesses a linear molecular structure. Due to their lower electronegative nature than Hydrogen atoms, all Carbon atoms are situated near the center of the Lewis structure of C₂H₂.

H-C≡C-H

Therefore, it is concluded from the above discussion that the hybridization type of acetylene is 'sp'.
