Answer:
The subscript next to the letter "C" will always tell you the number of carbon atoms.
<span>The notion of hybrid orbitals was "invented" by Linus Pauling in 1931 to explain the observed geometry of mostly organic molecules. Today, we find that hybrid orbitals are pretty much confined to the central atoms found in the second period of the periodic table. Periods 3 and up .... not so much.
(a) H2O ..... O is the central atom, tetrahedral, sp3 hybridization
(b) PBr5 .... P is the central atom, maybe sp2 for the three equatorial bonds *
(c) COCl2.. C is the central atom, trigonal planar, sp2 hybridization </span>

Hope I helped! :D
Answer:
-12162.47 joules (or -12000 joules when accounting for significant figures)
Explanation (btw I used 1 cal as 4.184 joules because SI units are better):
q = m c delta T
q = (70.9) (4.184) (25 - 66)
q = (70.9) (4.184) (-41)
q = -12162.47 joules
Answer:
0.250 moles of MgO are produced when 0.250 mol of Mg reacts completely with O₂
Explanation:
In first place, the balanced reaction between Mg and O₂ is:
2 Mg + O₂ ⇒ 2 MgO
By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reactants and products participate in the reaction:
- Mg: 2 moles
- O₂: 1 mole
- MgO: 2 moles
Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of Mg produce 2 moles of MgO, 0.250 moles of Mg, how many moles of MgO will they form?

moles of MgO= 0.250
<u><em>0.250 moles of MgO are produced when 0.250 mol of Mg reacts completely with O₂</em></u>
