The answer is (4) 4. Germanium is a main group element in group 4A. Therefore, like carbon, it has 4 valence electrons in the ground state.

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

sp^2

Explanation:

Hello,

The six-carbon benzene ring contains two types of bonds: C-C and C-H bonds, that are  sp^2-hybridized σ bonds, and the six π bonds that form the aromatic ring. The σ bonds form from one s orbital and two p orbitals from each carbon, which then bond the carbon to the two carbons on either side and the carbon's single hydrogen. The remaining p orbital from each carbon atom sticks out above and below the plane of the ring; these p orbitals overlap sideways, rather than lengthwise, to form the aromatic π bond system.

Best regards.

Please Help, will give 30 points! The following data was collected when a reaction was performed experimentally in the laborator
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

9 moles of NaNO3.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

Al(NO3)3 + 3NaCl —> 3NaNO3 + AlCl3

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Al(NO3)3 and NaCl that reacted and the number of mole of NaNO3 produced from the balanced equation.

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Al(NO3)3 reacted with 3 moles of NaCl to produce 3 moles of NaNO3.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant.

The limiting reactant can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Al(NO3)3 reacted with 3 moles of NaCl.

Therefore, 4 moles of Al(NO3)3 will react with = (4 x 3)/1 = 12 moles of NaCl.

From the calculations made above, we can see that it will take a higher amount i.e 12 moles than what was given i.e 9 moles of NaCl to react completely with 4 moles of Al(NO3)3.

Therefore, NaCl is the limiting reactant and Al(NO3)3 is the excess reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the maximum amount of NaNO3 produced from the reaction.

In this case, the limiting reactant will be used as it will produce the maximum amount of NaNO3 since all of it is consumed by the reaction.

The limit reactant is NaCl and the maximum amount of NaNO3 produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of NaCl reacted to produce 3 moles of NaNO3.

Therefore, 9 moles of NaCl will also react to produce 9 moles of NaNO3.

From the calculations made above, the maximum amount of NaNO3 produced is 9 moles

There are some exceptions to the trends of first and successive ionization energies. For each of the following pairs, explain wh
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.

Indicate how you might prepare acetic acid from ethene
ruslelena [56]
Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.
