For which of the following molecules or ions does the following description apply? "The bonding can be explained using a set of
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

O₃

Explanation:

Consider the molecule CO₂. The carbon is sp hybridized. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and oxygen contributes 2 electrons, 1 for each C=O which indicates that there are 8 electrons around the carbon. Since there are 4 bonds all of them are bond pairs. Each C=O double bond uses 2 bond pairs which are considered as single unit. These two double bond units try to get as far apart as possible making the molecule adopt a linear geometry.

Considering the H₂S molecule both oxygen and sulfur are the in the same group, which means both have a valence of 6. The four valence orbitals of sulfur, one 1 s orbital and three 3p orbitals mix together and forms four sp³ hybridized orbitals. Of the four hybridized orbitals, two overlaps with the 1s orbital of hydrogen forming 2 (S - H) bonds while the other two sp³ orbitals remain on sulfur which has lone pair of electrons. Because of the presence of lone pair, the angle between H-S-H bond is slightly less than the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. Thus, H2S having 2 bonding electron pair and 2 lone pairs has a bent shape.

Considering O₃ and according to the VSEPR theory ozone molecule must have a trigonal – planar geometry. It has a total of 18 valence electrons. From the resonance structure given below it is clear the 4 pairs of electrons exit as bonding pair, sp² or σ- bond and the remaining 10 electrons exit as lone pair. Of the three un- hybridized p orbitals one is anti – bonding and remains empty. In ozone the π bond is distributed between the two bonds, and each receives half a π bond. For this molecule the electron pair geometry is trigonal planar but the molecular geometry is bent. The presence of lone pair exerts slight repulsion on the bonding oxygen atoms and a slight compression of the bond angle greater than 120°.

In carbonate ion, <u>the carbon is sp² hybridized</u>. The carbon has 4 valence electrons and there are four bonds to the oxygen which add another 4 making a total of 8. There are 4 pairs of bonding electrons and no lone pair. Of the 4 bond pairs, 2 pairs are used in forming double bond C=O and 2 bond pairs in forming the two C-O single bonds., Thus CO₃²⁻ adopts a trigonal planar geometry.

Of the two molecules only ozone and carbonate ion, have sp2 hybridized central atoms. In ozone the central atoms have lone pair of electrons the hybridization around is sp². Hence the correct option is O₃

In an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area
storchak [24]

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Na_2CO_3 _(_a_q_)+ 2HNO_3_(_a_q_) \implies 2NaNO_3_(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + H_2O_(_l_)

The mole ratio for the reaction between HNO_3 and Na_2CO_3 is 1:2. This means 1 moles of Na_2CO_3 will neutralize 2 moles HNO_3. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.

2500g HNO_3 \times \frac{mol}{63.01g\ HNO_3} = 39.67 mol\ HNO_3

2000g\ Na_2CO_3 \times \frac{mol}{105.99g \ Na_2CO_3} = 18.87 mol\ Na_2CO_3

\frac{18.87 mol Na_2CO_3}{39.67\ HNO_3} = \frac{1 molNa_2CO_3}{2 mol HNO_3}

The Na_2CO_3 was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.

On average, Earth’s crust contains about 8.1% aluminum by mass. If a standard 12-ounce soft drink can contains approximately 15
MrMuchimi

Answer:

5400 cans

Explanation:

First we convert the total weight, 1 ton, to grams:

1ton=1x10^{6}g

Now we need to know the mass of aluminum:

m_{Al}=\frac{10^{6}*8.1}{100} =81000g

Now we make the relation between the mass of aluminum in 1 ton of the earth's crust and the mass of aluminum per can:

n=\frac{81000g}{15g/can} =5400cans
