Answer:

0.241 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HBr + NaOH —> NaBr + H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of acid, HBr (nₐ) = 1

The mole ratio of base, NaOH (n₆) = 1

Finally, we shall determine the concentration of the NaOH solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of base, NaOH (V₆) = 20 mL

Volume of acid, HBr (Vₐ) = 24.1 mL

Concentration of acid, HBr (Cₐ) = 0.2 M

Concentration of base, NaOH (C₆) =?

CₐVₐ / C₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

0.2 × 24.1 / C₆ × 20 = 1/1

4.82 / C₆ × 20 = 1

Cross multiply

C₆ × 20 = 4.82

Divide both side by 20

C₆ = 4.82 / 20

C₆ = 0.241 M

Therefore, the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.241 M

What is the volume of 0.2 moles of neon gas at STP?

eduard

Standard Molar Volume is the volume occupied by one mole of any gas at STP. Remember that "STP" is Standard Temperature and Pressure. Standard temperature is 0 &176:C or 273 K. Standard pressure is 1 atmosphere or 760 mm Hg (also called "torr"). 1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 liters of volume.

The expected o-c-h angle in this molecule is degrees. the expected hybridization at the central carbon is

WINSTONCH [101]

Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

$sp^{3}$ , four electron domains, as in ethane $\text{C}_2\text{H}_6$
$sp^{2}$ , three electron domains, as in ethene $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$
$sp$ , two electron domains, as in ethyne $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

Carbon atoms with a $sp^{3}$ hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately $109.5\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp^{2}$ hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of $120\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp$ hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of $180\textdegree{}$

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

$sp^{3}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
$sp^{2}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.
