Answer:

b) sp^2

Explanation:

Hybridization refers to the concept that atomic orbitals fuse to form newly hybridized orbitals, which in turn, influences molecular geometry and bonding properties. In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the implies the mixing of atomic orbitals to form hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., different from that of the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds according to the principles of the valence bond theory.

In 1931 Linus Pauling proposed the idea of “mixing” the orbitals or “hybridizing” them to account for certain observed bonding patterns. Pauling proposed a sort of a combination of the orbitals giving you an orbital that has partial characters.

Hybridization is merely a mathematical construct. It is never an actual “process” that occurs within orbitals . Hybridization is a mathematical model that describes how the atomic orbitals would’ve looked like based on the observable molecular orbitals.

sp2 hybridization leads to the formation of a double bond. sigma bonds may also be formed depending on the valency of the central atom. In alkenes, an sp2 hybridized carbon atom forms a double bond in addition to two sigma bonds to other atoms.

Acetyl-CoA labeled with 14C in both of its acetate carbon atoms is incubated with unlabeled oxaloacetate and a crude tissue prep
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a.all four carbon atoms.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA labeled with 14C in both of its acetate carbon atoms is incubated with unlabeled oxaloacetate and a crude tissue preparation capable of carrying out the reactions of the citric acid cycle. After one turn of the TCA cycle, oxaloacetate would have 14C in  all four carbon atoms.

A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

11.8.4 Distillation Columns

Distillation columns present a hazard in that they contain large inventories of flammable boiling liquid, usually under pressure. There are a number of situations which may lead to loss of containment of this liquid.

The conditions of operation of the equipment associated with the distillation column, particularly the reboiler and bottoms pump, are severe, so that failure is more probable.

The reduction of hazard in distillation columns by the limitation of inventory has been discussed above. A distillation column has a large input of heat at the reboiler and a large output at the condenser. If cooling at the condenser is lost, the column may suffer overpressure. It is necessary to protect against this by higher pressure design, relief valves, or HIPS. On the other hand, loss of steam at the reboiler can cause underpressure in the column. On columns operating at or near atmospheric pressure, full vacuum design, vacuum breakers, or inert gas injection is needed for protection. Deposition of flammable materials on packing surfaces has led to many fires on opening of distillation column for maintenance.

Another hazard is overpressure due to heat radiation from fire. Again pressure relief devices are required to provide protection.

The protection of distillation columns is one of the topics treated in detail in codes for pressure relief such as APIRP 521. Likewise, it is one of the principal applications of trip systems.

Another quite different hazard in a distillation column is the ingress of water. The rapid expansion of the water as it flashes to steam can create very damaging overpressures.
