Hey there!
No of hybrid orbitals , H = ( V +S - C + A ) / 2
Where H = no . of hybrid orbitals
V = Valence of the central atom = 5
S = No . of single valency atoms = 4
C = No . of cations = 1
A = No . of anions = 0
For PCl4 +
Plug the values we get H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2
H = 4 ---> sp3 hybridization
sp3 hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorous in the PCl4+ cations
Answer C
Hope that helps!
The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+. If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).
I don't know what the options were but a material that is very likely going to be challenging to recognize under a microscope as a mixture is a homogeneous mixture. A homogenous mixture is uniform and thus hard to recognize as a mixture. An example is water!
