Answer:

It can be a bronsted Lowry acid but not a bronsted Lowry base

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry acid are proton donors, and HSCN can donate a proton, but it cannot accept a proton, hence not a bronsted Lowry base

Answer:

Explanation:

A Brönsted-Lowry acid is defined as any substance that has the ability to lose, or "donate a proton" [H +].

A Brönsted-Lowry base is a substance capable of gaining or "accepting a proton" [H +].

Then a proton transfer occurs, which requires the presence of a proton donor, that is, an acid and a base that accepts them.

This theory has the disadvantage of leaving out several substances that are acidic and that do not have protons.

Thiocyanic acid is a chemical compound that can be considered, but not a Bronsted Lowry base, giving up the proton and generating the anion [SCN] -

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = 52.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon react = 14.4 g

Mass of oxygen = 56.5 g

Mass of oxygen left = 18.1 g

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = ?

Solution:

C + O₂ → CO₂

Number of moles of C:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g/ 12 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.2 mol

18.1 g of oxygen left it means carbon is limiting reactant.

Now we will compare the moles of C with CO₂.

C : CO₂

1 : 1

1.2 : 1.2

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.2 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 52.8 g

If an atom has sp3d2 hybridization in a molecule:

never [62]

Answer:

a. the maximum number of σ bonds that the atom can form is 4

b. the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is 2

Explanation:

Hybridization is the mixing of at least two nonequivalent orbitals, in this case, we have the mixing of one <em>s, 3 p </em> and <em> 2 d </em> orbitals. In hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals generated is equal to the number of pure atomic orbital, so we have 6 hybrid orbital.

The shape of this hybrid orbital is octahedral (look the attached image) , it has 4 orbital located in the plane and 2 orbital perpendicular to it.

This shape allows the formation of maximum 4 σ bond, because σ bonds are formed by orbitals overlapping end to end.

And maximum 2 p-p bonds, because p-p bonds are formed by sideways overlapping orbitals. The atom can form one with each one of the orbitals located perpendicular to the plane.
