Answer: 50%

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs are 2 for hybridization to be $sp$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

1. percentage of s character in sp hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 100=50\%$

2. percentage of s character in $sp^2$ hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 100=33.3\%$

3. percentage of s character in $sp^3$ hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Thus percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid is 50%.

A baseball player hits a ball. Which is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head?

Elan Coil [88]

The right option is; b. mechanical

Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.

15. What volume of CCI, (d = 1.6 g/cc) contain

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{(3) 9.6 L}}$

Explanation:

1. Moles of CCl₄

$n = 6.02 \times 10^{25} \text{ molecules} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}} = \text{100.0 mol}$

2. Molar mass of CCl₄

MM = 1 × 12.01 + 4 × 35.5 = 12.01 + 142 = 154.0 g/mol

3. Mass of CCl₄

$m =\text{100.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{154.0 g}}{\text{1 mol}} = \text{15 400 g}$

4. Volume of CCl₄

$V = \text{15 400 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cm}^{3}}{\text{1.6 g}} = \text{9600 cm}^{3}\\\\V = \text{9600 cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L}}{\text{1000 cm}^{3}} = \mathbf{{9.6 L}}\\\\\text{The volume of CCl$_{4}$ is } \boxed{\textbf{9.6 L}}$

If 16.9 kg of Al2O3(s), 57.4 kg of NaOH(l), and 57.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produc

hodyreva [135]

Answer: 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Al_2O_3(s)+6NaOH(l)+12HF(g)\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O$

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

moles of $Al_2O_3$ = $\frac{16.9\times 1000g}{102g/mol}=165.7moles$

moles of $NaOH$ = $\frac{57.4\times 1000g}{40g/mol}=1435moles$

moles of $HF$ = $\frac{57.4\times 1000g}{20g/mol}=2870moles$

As 1 mole of $Al_2O_3$ reacts with 6 moles of $NaOH$

166 moles of $Al_2O_3$ reacts with = $\frac{6}{1}\times 166=996$ moles of $NaOH$

As 1 mole of $Al_2O_3$ reacts with 12 moles of $HF$

166 moles of $Al_2O_3$ reacts with = $\frac{12}{1}\times 166=1992$ moles of $HF$

Thus $Al_2O_3$ is the limiting reagent.

As 1 mole of $Al_2O_3$ produces = 2 moles of cryolite

166 moles of $Al_2O_3$ reacts with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 166=332$ moles of cryolite

Mass of cryolite $(Na_3AlF_6)$ = $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=332mol\times 210g/mol=69720g=69.72kg$

Thus 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

How much heat is required to vaporize 25g of water at 100*c

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Heat required = 13,325 calories or 55.75 KJ.

Explanation:

To convert a water to steam at 100 degree celsius to vapor, we have to give latent heat of vaporization to water

Which equals ,

Q = mL,

Where, m is the mass of water present

L = specific latent heat of vaporization

Here , m= 25 gram

L equals to 533 calories (or 2230 Joules)

So, Q = 25×533 = 13,325 Calories

Or , Q = 55,750 Joules = 55.75 KJ

so, Heat required = 13,325 calories or 55.75 KJ.
