The s orbitals are said to be non directional what does it mean

s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.

Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.

However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.

1.5mol C3H8 from C3H8+5O2-->3CO2+4H2O .how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced

koban [17]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{200 g CO}_{{2}}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 44.01

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol: 1.5

1. Calculate the moles of CO₂

The molar ratio is 3 mol CO₂:1 mol C₃H₈

$\rm \text{Moles of CO}_{2} = \text{1.5 mol C$_{3}$H}_{8} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{3}$H}_{8}} =\text{4.5 mol CO}_{2}$

2. Calculate the mass of CO₂.

$\text{Mass of CO}_{2} = \text{4.5 mol CO}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}} = \textbf{200 g CO}_{\mathbf{2}}\\\text{The reaction will form $\large \boxed{\textbf{200 g CO}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$

What is the IUPAC name for this product?

mihalych1998 [28]

The IUPAC name for the given product is 2 chloro Butane.

<h3>What is IUPAC nomenclature?</h3>

IUPAC stands for 'International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry', which givers some rule for designing the name of compounds of chemistry.

In the given product total four carbon atoms are present and between all of them single bonds are present.
In the second carbon atom, chlorine group is present.
During the nomenclature process, first we write down the name of the attached group which is followed by the alkane chain.

Hence name of the product is 2 chloro Butane.

Select the correct answer. Which statement best describes how chemical equations demonstrate conservation of mass? OA The number

timofeeve [1]

Answer: C. The number of atoms of each element is the same on each side of the equation.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter shows that it is not possible for matter to either be created nor for it to be destroyed so the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation must equal the number of atoms in each element on the product side of the equation.

This is why the following equation is incomplete:

H₂ + O₂ ⇒ H₂O

The oxygen atoms are not the same on either side.

Equation will therefor have to be balanced which will make it:

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

Notice now that atoms are the same on both sides.

B. inference because she drew a conclusion based on evidence.

Because the evidence was that she heard the crashing sound, and then when she came into her room saw the broken window and baseball.

It was not an observation because she did not directly see the baseball going through the window

Determine the mass of 9.2 x 10^18 molecules of dinitrogen tetroxide.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: 1.4x10-3 g N2O4

Explanation: First convert molecules of N2O4 to moles using Avogadro's Number. Then convert moles to mass using the molar mass of N2O4.

9.2x10^18 molecules N2O4 x 1 mole N2O4 / 6.022x10²³ molecules N2O4

= 1.53x10-5 moles N2O4

1.53x10-5 moles N2O4 x 92 g N2O4/ 1 mole N2O4

= 1.4x10-3 g N2O4
