Which type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:? Which type of orbitals overlap to form the sigm
zysi [14]

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:

For the following reaction, 5.78 grams of chlorine gas are mixed with excess iron. The reaction yields 6.79 grams of iron(III) c
NeX [460]

Answer:

a. Theoretical yield = 8.81 g

b. 77 %

Explanation:

We begin from the reaction:

2Fe (s) + 3Cl₂ (g) → 2FeCl₃ (s)

and the excess is the iron, so the limiting reagent is the chlorine.

We convert mass to moles → 5.78 g / 70.90 g/mol = 0.0815 mol

Ratio is 3:2 so we think this:

From 3 moles of chlorine, I can produce 2 moles of Iron (III) chloride

Then 0.0815 moles would produce (0.0815 . 2) /3 = 0.0543 moles

This is the theoretical yield. We convert the moles to mass:

0.0543 mol . 162.2 g /mol = 8.81 g

If the reaction yields 6.79 g of FeCl₃ and the theoretical yield is 8.81 g ,we can obtain the percent yield: (6.79 / 8.81) . 100 = 77 %
