Answer:
- <em>Option d. Its empirical formula is CH</em><em>₂</em><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The percent composition of the compound allow you to calculate the empirical formula of the compound but is not enough to calculate either the molar mass or the molecular formula. So, since now you can discard options b. and c.
Telling that it is a hydrocarbon (option e.) is true but very vague compared with finding the empirical formula. So, you can also discard the option e.
The fact that the product has a triple bond cannot be concluded from the percent composition, you should find the molecular formula to assert whether it contains or not a triple bond. So, you could discard option a., which lets you only with choice d.
Let us find the empirical formula to be certain that it is CH₂.
1. <u>First, assume a basis of 100 g of compound</u>:
- H: 14.5% × 100 g = 14.0 g
- C: 85.5% × 100 g = 85.5 g
2. <u>Divide each element by its atomic mass to find number of moles</u>:
- H: 14.0 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.38 mol
- C: 85.5 g / 12.011 g/mol = 7.12 mol
3. <u>Divide both amounts by the smallest number, to find the mole ratio</u>:
- H: 14.38 mol / 7.12 mol ≈ 2
- C: 7.12 mol / 7.12 mol = 1.
Hence, the ratio is 2:1 and the empirical formula is CH₂.
I think it’s c but I could be wrong
Answer:
(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
(c) sp³
(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
Explanation:
<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>
<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>
S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.
<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>
Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>
SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.
<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>
No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
