 <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>

Which of the following is true of the mass of an object?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Its mass is measured on a scale.

It is measured on a balance.

Explanation:

The mass of an object can easily be determined using a balance or weighing scale.

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance. it is has the same value every where and will not vary by geography or location.

Weight is the force on body due to gravity. It is a function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Both mass and weight are different.

They can both be measured using a weight device.

If an acid has a ka=1.6x10^-10, what is the acidity of the solution?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
 In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+.  If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).
