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.

29.2 grams of methane (carbon tetrahydride), CH4, is how
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1.83moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of methane given  = 29.2g

Unknown:

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

To find the number of moles in this mass of a compound;

     Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of CH₄   = 12 + 4(1)  = 16g/mol

Now;

    Number of moles  = \frac{29.2}{16}   = 1.83moles

If the density of water is 1g/cm3 what is its specific gravity
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Specific gravity is the density of asubstance divided by the density of water. Since (at standard temperature and pressure) water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel, specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density(but without any units).

An 80.0-gram sample of a gas was heated from 25 °C to 225 °C. During this process, 346 J of work was done by the system and its
german
Hello!

First you need to calculate q 
<span>delta U is change in internal energy </span>

<span>delta U = q + w </span>
<span>q is heat and w work done </span>
<span>here work was done by the system means energy leaving the system so w is negative </span>

<span>delta U = q + w </span>

<span>q = delta U - w = 6865 J - (-346 J) = 7211 J = 7.211 KJ </span>

<span>q = m x c x delta T </span>

<span>7211 J = 80.0 g x c x (225-25) °C </span>

<span>c = 0.451 J /g °C
</span>
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

Calculate the moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) needed to react in order to produce 85.00 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). us
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

0.85 mole

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction of CaCl2 to produce CaCO3. This is illustrated below:

When CaCl2 react with Na2CO3, CaCO3 is produced according to the balanced equation:

CaCl2 + Na2CO3 -> CaCO3 + 2NaCl

Step 2:

Conversion of 85g of CaCO3 to mole. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol

Mass of CaCO3 = 85g

Moles of CaCO3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of CaCO3 = 85/100

Mole of caco= 0.85 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of CaCl2 needed to produce 85g (i.e 0. 85 mole) of CaCO3.

This is illustrated below :

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCl2 reacted to produced 1 mole of CaCO3.

Therefore, 0.85 mole of CaCl2 will also react to produce 0.85 mole of CaCO3.

From the calculations made above, 0.85 mole of CaCl2 is needed to produce 85g of CaCO3
