Answer:

Sp3

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only. Some examples of hydrocarbon are methane, butane, ethane, ethene, etc.

Hybridization can be defined as a phenomenon which involves the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, with each of the orbitals having the same shape and energy.

In Organic chemistry, ethane is considered to be a tetrahedral carbon and it's Sp3 hybridized.

A tetrahedral carbon typically comprises of four bonds that are 109. 5° apart while a linear carbon atom comprises of two (2) bonds that are 180° apart.

Hence, the molecule of ethane posses a Sp3 hybridization because it has four bonds arrange with a tetrahedral geometry.

Which three factor are most important in determining the composition of ocean water

lina2011 [118]

<span>There are factors that are important to be determined for the composition of ocean water. First factor is the temperatue, by this you will be able to know the rate of evaporation of the sea. Next is the salinity, through this you will be able to know salty the sea is which will help you identify the last factor- density. The density is the most common because when there is more salt in the sea, it is less dense.</span>

Masteriza [31]

1.5 x 10 $^{8}$ mm = 1500 x 10 $^{8}$ m

1500 x 10 $^{8}$ / ( 3.0 x 10 $^{8}$ ) = 500 s

500/60 = 8.3

So approximately it takes 8.5 minutes

A balloon has a volume of 6.2 liters at 23.2 C. The balloon is then heated to a temperature of 144.0 C. What is the volume of th

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

8.7 L

Explanation:

T2(V1/T1) = V2

417.15 K(6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L

Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2(V1/T1) = V2
