<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the hybridization of SO_2, we use the equation:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  (S) = 6

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 0

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[6]=3

The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

A student has two compounds in two separate bottles but with no labels on either one. One is an unbranched alkane, octane, C8H18
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) both substances are insoluble in water

b) both substances are soluble in ligroin

c) both substances suffer combustion, octane produces more CO₂ than hexene.

d) both substances are less dense than waterl, with hexene having the lowest density.

e) only hexene would react with bromine

f)  only hexene would react with permanganate

Explanation:

a) both substances are non-polar and water is polar

b) both substances are non-polar and lingroin is non-polar

c) C₈H₁₈ + 17.5O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

    C₆H₁₂ + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

d) water = 997 kg/m³

    ocatne = 703 kg/m³

    hexene = 673 kg/m³

e) bromine test is used to detect unsaturations

f) permanganate test is used to detect unsaturations

a solution of unknown molecular substance is prepared by dissolving 0.50g of the unknown in 8.0g of benzene. the solution freeze
spayn [35]

Answer:

THE MOLAR MASS OF THE UNKNOWN MOLECULAR SUBSTANCE IS 200 G/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown substance = 0.50 g

Freezing point of the solution = 3.9 °C

Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C

Freezing point dissociation constant Kf = 5.12°C/m

First, calculate the temperature difference between the freezing point of pure benzene and the final solution freezing point.

Change in temperature = 5.5 -3.9 = 1.6 °C

Next is to calculate the number of moles or molarity of the compound that dissolved.

Using the formula:

Δt = i Kf m

Assume i = 1

So,

1.6 °C = 1 * 5.12 * x/ 0.005 kg of benzene

x = 1.6 * 0.008 / 5.12

x = 0.0128 / 5.12

x = 0.0025 moles.

Next is to calculate the molar mass using the formula, molarity = mass / molar mass

Molar mass = mass / molarity

Molar mass = 0.50 g /0.0025

Molar mass = 200 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol

How are radioisotopes different from the standard form of an element
meriva

Answer:

Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei but differing numbers of neutrons. Radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes of an element. They can also be defined as atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons, or excess energy in their nucleus.
