Chemistry

Answer:

B) 1st C sp3 ; 2nd C sp3 ; O sp3

Explanation:

Both carbons in ethanol have an sp³ configuration of their orbitals, given that each carbon atom binds to four other atoms, as can be seen on the extended formula in the attachment.

In these carbons (1st and 2nd) one s orbital and three p orbitals are hybridized to form four hybrid orbitals sp³. These orbitals form four bonds and their bond angles are close to the tetrahedral value of 109.5º,as can be seen for methanol which also has an sp³ configuration.

The oxygen atom can also be described as having sp³ hybrid orbitals. Two of the four hybrid sp³ orbitals in oxygen are occupied by lone electron pairs, and two are used to form bonds with other atoms (in this case the oxygen is bonded to a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom).

Therefore, the three central atoms have an sp³ configuration.

CH3 + HCl &lt;=&gt; CH3Cl + H2O
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The pressure of CH3OH and HCl will decrease.

The final partial pressure of HCl is 0.350038 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kp = 4.7 x 10^3 at 400K

Pressure of CH3OH = 0.250 atm

Pressure of HCl = 0.600 atm

Volume = 10.00 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3OH(g) + HCl(g) <=> CH3Cl(g) + H2O(g)

Step 3: The initial pressure

p(CH3OH) = 0.250atm

p(HCl) = 0.600 atm

p(CH3Cl)= 0 atm

p(H2O) = 0 atm

Step 3: Calculate the pressure at the equilibrium

p(CH3OH) = 0.250 - X atm

p(HCl) = 0.600 - X atm

p(CH3Cl)= X atm

p(H2O) = X atm

Step 4: Calculate Kp

Kp = (pHO * pCH3Cl) / (pCH3* pHCl)

4.7 * 10³ =  X² /(0.250-X)(0.600-X)

X = 0.249962

p(CH3OH) = 0.250 - 0.249962 = 0.000038 atm

p(HCl) = 0.600 - 0.249962 = 0.350038 atm

p(CH3Cl)= 0.249962 atm

p(H2O) = 0.249962 atm

Kp = (0.249962 * 0.249962) / (0.000038 * 0.350038)

Kp = 4.7 *10³

The pressure of CH3OH and HCl will decrease.

The final partial pressure of HCl is 0.350038 atm

How does plants react with no scratch?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

You see, plants need energy to grow and grow and grow. They use energy from sunlight to make a simple sugar, glucose. Whenever the plant needs energy, it can chomp a little glucose off of the starch.

without energy it wont get energy/food so it will eventually die

A 0.12m solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed _____.
Fittoniya [83]
A 0.12 M solution of an acid that only slightly ionizes in solution would be termed a weak acid. Weak acids are acids which do not completely dissociate in water. Thus lowering the presence of hydronium ions which measures the pH of an acid.  <span />

Which statement is true about the gravitational force? A. It
Zanzabum

Answer:

"Option B It acts  on all objects all of the time.

Explanation:

"Gravitational force" is a kind of force that  will attract any object with a mass. It is a  "natural phenomenon" where all the things, including in planets in-universe, of mass or energy, are brought towards each other.  

Like the earth’s gravity helps in giving weight to objects and the ocean tides are caused because of the moon’s gravity. The example of gravity force is the force with which sun holds together the gases in it.
