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.

Explain how a hurricane poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A hurricane can cause extreme damage to the biosphere and the geosphere. A hurricane can leave water standing therefore sinking itself into the geosphere. The biosphere can be permanently effected because it can kill, injure, and destroy the biosphere and what the biosphere creates (buildings, parks).

Write the symbol for the monatomic ion that has a charge of 1– and the condensed electron configuration [ne]3s23p6.

Pani-rosa [81]

<span>Answer is: the symbol is Cl.
[Ne ] 3s</span>² 3p⁶ is electric configuration of noble gas argon, neon (Ne) has10 electrons plus 6 electrons in 3s and 3p orbitals. Neutral atom of m<span>onatomic ion that has a charge of 1– has one electron less than argon, so that atom (chlorine) has 17 electrons. Charge of 1- means one electron more for ion: 17 + 1 = 18.

Part A Find ΔS∘ for the reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to form ammonia: 12N2(g)+32H2(g)→NH3(g) Express your answ

inessss [21]

Answer:

$\Delta S^{0}$ for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: $\frac{1}{2}N_{2}(g)+\frac{3}{2}H_{2}(g)\rightarrow NH_{3}(g)$

$\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times S^{0}(NH_{3})_{g}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times S^{0}(N_{2})_{g}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times S^{0}(H_{2})_{g}]$

where $S^{0}$ represents standard entropy.

Plug in all the standard entropy values from available literature in the above equation:

$\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times 192.45\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times 191.61\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times 130.684\frac{J}{mol.K}]=-99.4J/K$

So, $\Delta S^{0}$ for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K
