Answer:

BF3

Explanation:

Hybridization can be defined as the mixing of two or more atomic pure orbitals. ( s, p ,  and d) to produce two or more hybrid atomic orbitals that are similar and identical in shape and energy e.g sp,sp²,sp³ ,sp³d, sp³d². Usually , the central atom of a covalent molecules or ion undergoes hybridization.

in BF3; Boron is the central atom. Here, A 2s  electron is excited from the ground state of boron ( 1s²2s²2p¹) to one empty orbitals of 2p.

The 2s orbital is then mixed with two orbitals of 2p to form three sp² hybrid orbitals tat are trigonally arranged in the plane in order to minimize repulsion . Each of the three hybrid orbitals overlaps with p-orbital of fluorine atom to form three bonds of equal strength and with bond angles of 120⁰.

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high <u>electronegativity</u> as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an <u>inductive effect</u>. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be <u>weaker</u> and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion H^+).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have <u>2 Br atoms</u> near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have <u>more acidity</u>. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the <u>position</u> of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a <u>higher inductive effect</u> and more <u>acidity</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Which is a cause of polarity in water molecules? partial negative charge on the hydrogen atoms partial positive charge on the ox
Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent as the hydrogen and oxygen atom has large difference in their electronegativities.

Oxygen atom is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen atom therefore, it pulls the electrons of hydrogen atom closer towards itself.

As a result, two poles will create forming a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that high electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen is the cause of polarity in water molecules.

Calculate the maximum volume (in mL) of 0.143 M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutral
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.

Explanation:

a.

Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O

Mass of aluminum hydroxide = 350 mg =  0.350 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = \frac{0.350 g}{78 g/mol}=0.004487 mol

According to reaction ,3 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of aluminum hydroxide.Then 0.004487 mole of aluminum hydroxide will be neutralize by :

\frac{3}{1}\times 0.004487 mol=0.01346 mol of HCl.

Mg(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow MgCL_2+2H_2O

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 250 mg =  0.250 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of magnesium hydroxide = \frac{0.250 g}{58 g/mol}=0.004310 mol

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide.Then 0.004310  mole of magnesium hydroxide will be neutralize by :

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.004310 mol=0.008621 mol of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize both :

0.01346 mol + 0.008621 mol = 0.02208 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

Molarity=\frac{\text{Total moles of HCl}{\text{Volume in Liter}}

V=\frac{0.02208 mol}{0.143 M}=0.1544 L

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1544 L = 154.4 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b.

CaCO_3+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2

Mass of calcium carbonate = 970mg =  0.970 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of calcium carbonate = \frac{0.970 g}{100 g/mol}=0.00970 mol

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of calcium carbonate.Then 0.00970 mole of calcium carbonate will be neutralize by :

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.00970 mol=0.0194 mol of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize calcium carbonate : 0.0194 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

Molarity=\frac{\text{Total moles of HCl}}{\text{Volume in Liter}}

V=\frac{0.0194 mol}{0.143 M}=0.1357 L

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1357 L = 135.7 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.
