Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical?

Chemistry

4 0

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

What is the orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to:
nirvana33 [79]

sp^3  is the orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to three other atoms.

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.

When 92.0 g of ethanol (c2h5oh are vaporized at its boiling point of 78.3°c, it requires 78.6 kj of energy. what is the approxim
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>(78.6 kJ) / (92.0 g / (46.0684 g C2H5OH/mol)) = 39.4 kJ/mol </span>

<span>39.3 </span>

So the approximate molar heat of vaporization of ethanol in kJ/mol is 39.3.

I hope this answers your question.

A fixed amount of gas at 25.0°C occupies a volume of 10.0 L when the pressure is 667 torr. Use Boyle's law to calculate the pres
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The pressure, when the volume is reduced to 7.88L, is 846 torr (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The temperature of a gas = 25.0°C

AT 25 °C the gas occupies a volume of 10.0L and a pressure of 667 torr.

The volume reduces to 7.88 L but the temperature stays constant.

Step 2: Boyle's law

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

 ⇒ Since the temperature stays constant, we can simplify to:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

⇒ with P1 = the initial pressure 667 torr

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 10.0 L

⇒ with P2 = the final pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with V2 = the final volume = 7.88L

P2 = (P1*V1)/V2

P2 = (667*10.0)/7.88

P2 = 846 torr

The pressure, when the volume is reduced to 7.88L, is 846 torr (option A)
