 <span>The notion of hybrid orbitals was "invented" by Linus Pauling in 1931 to explain the observed geometry of mostly organic molecules. Today, we find that hybrid orbitals are pretty much confined to the central atoms found in the second period of the periodic table. Periods 3 and up .... not so much. 

(a) H2O ..... O is the central atom, tetrahedral, sp3 hybridization 
(b) PBr5 .... P is the central atom, maybe sp2 for the three equatorial bonds * 
(c) COCl2.. C is the central atom, trigonal planar, sp2 hybridization </span>

What is difference between a pH of 8 and a pH of 12 in terms of H+ concentration?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

At a greater value of pH, [H⁺] is really low.

Solution with pH = 8 has more [H⁺] than solution at pH =12.

Explanation:

pH = - log [H⁺]

10^-pH = [H⁺]

At pH = 8, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁸  → 1×10⁻⁸ M

At pH = 12, [H⁺] = 10⁻¹²  → 1×10⁻¹² M

In conclussion, at a greater value of pH, [H⁺] will be really low.

Solution with pH = 8 has more [H⁺] than solution at pH =12.

How many atoms (mol) is in 10g of sodium, sodium chloride and Iron chloride?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g

Number of moles contained in 10 g of NaCl = 10 g/58.5 g = 0.17 moles

If 1 mole of NaCl contains 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

0.17 moles of NaCl contains 0.17 * 6.02 * 10^23 atoms = 1.02 * 10^23 atoms

Molar mass of Fe II chloride = 126.751 g/mol

Number of moles = 10 g/126.751 g/mol = 0.0789 moles

Number of atoms = 0.0789 moles *  6.02 * 10^23 atoms = 4.7 * 10^22 atoms

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 10g/23 g/mol = 0.43 moles

Number of atoms = 0.43 moles *  6.02 * 10^23 atoms = 2.59 * 10^ 23 atoms
