Determine the hybridization around the central atom for each of the following molecules.

Chemistry
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a) HCN  - hybridization sp

b) C(CH₃)₄ - hybridization sp³

c) H₃O⁺  - hybridization sp³

d) - CH₃ - hybridization sp³

Explanation:

Hybridization occurs to allow an atom to make more covalent bonds than the original electronic distribution would allow or to allocate ligands in an energetically stable geometry.

Carbon can have thre hybridization states: sp³ , sp² and sp.

Oxygen usualluy has an sp³ hybridization.

In order to determine the hybridization, we need to consider the number of atoms attached to the central atom and the number of lone pairs.

The figure attached shows the species and the hybridization of their central atoms.

What is the percent composition of nitrogen in a 2.57 g sample of Al(NO3)3?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

19.8% of Nitrogen

Explanation:

In the Al(NO₃)₃ there are:

1 atom of Al

3 atoms of N

And 9 atoms of O

The molar mass of Al(NO₃)₃ is:

1 Al * (26.98g/mol) = 26.98g/mol

3 N * (14g/mol) = 42g/mol

9 O * (16g/mol) = 144g/mol

26.98 + 42 + 144 = 212.98g/mol

We can do a conversion using these molar masses to find the mass of nitrogen is the sample, that is:

2.57g * (42g/mol / 212.98g/mol) =

0.51g N

Percent composition of nitrogen is:

0.51g N / 2.57g * 100

= 19.8% of Nitrogen
