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.

Which action would shift this reaction away from solid calcium fluoride and toward the dissolved ions? which action would shift
ANTONII [103]
Hello!

The chemical reaction for the dissolving of calcium fluoride is the following:

CaF₂(s) ⇄ Ca⁺²(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)

In this reaction, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, the action that would shift this reaction away from solid calcium fluoride and towards the dissolved ions is the removing of fluoride ions.

Le Chatelier's principle
states that in an equilibrium reaction, the system would shift in the opposite direction of the changes. If we remove fluoride ions from the system, it will shift towards the formation of more fluoride ions by dissolving more Calcium Fluoride to achieve equilibrium again.

Which two changes would increase the gravitational force between two
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B. Increase the mass of one of the objects.

E. Decrease the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

To effect an increase in the gravitational force between two objects, the mass of both objects should be increased and the distance between them reduced.

This is derived from the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

  • It states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

Therefore, if the mass of the two bodies are increased and the distance between them reduced, the gravitational force of attraction will increase.

3. In an experiment it was found that 40.0cm of 0.2M sodium hydroxide solution just neutralized 0.2g
hjlf

The relative molecular mass of acid A : 50 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

40.0 cm³(40 ml) of 0.2M sodium hydroxide

0.2g  of a dibasic acid

Required

the relative molecular mass of acid A

Solution

Titration formula

M₁V₁n₁=M₂V₂n₂

n=acid/base valence(number of H⁺/OH⁻)

NaOH ⇒ n = 1

Dibasic acid =  diprotic acid (such as H₂SO₄)⇒ n = 2

mol = M x V

Input the value in the formula :(1 = NaOH, 2=dibasic acid)

0.2 x 40 x 1 = M₂ x V₂ x 2

M₂ x V₂ = 4 mlmol = 4.10⁻³ mol ⇒ mol of Acid A

The relative molecular mass of acid A (M) :

\tt M_A=\dfrac{mass }{mol}=\dfrac{0.2~g}{4.10^{-3}}=50~g/mol

A cylinder with a movable piston originally has a volume of 2805 mL and is filled with nitrogen to a pressure of 4.00
Sergio039 [100]

This problem is providing the initial volume and pressure of nitrogen in a piston-cylinder system and asks for the final pressure it will have when the volume increases. At the end, the answer turns out to be 2.90 atm.

<h3>Boyle's law</h3>

In chemistry, gas laws are used so as to understand the volume-pressure-temperature-moles behavior in ideal gases and relate different pairs of variables.

In this case, we focus on the Boyle's law as an inversely proportional relationship between both pressure and volume at constant both temperature and moles:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Thus, we solve for the final pressure by dividing both sides by V2:

P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}

Hence, we plug in both the initial pressure and volume and final volume in order to calculate the final pressure:

P_2=\frac{2805mL*4.00atm}{3864mL}\\ \\P_2=2.90atm
