Answer:

sp3 hybridization

Explanation:

Hybridization means the mixing of atomic orbitals to yield hybrid orbitals with characteristics that are different from that of the isolated atomic orbitals before the combination.

sp3 hybridization occurs when one s orbital is mixed with three p orbitals to yield four sp3 hybrid orbitals which can be used to bond to a central atom.

The central atom is then located at the center of a regular tetrahedron at a bond angle of 109°.

3.5g of a Certain compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen, and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 15

shutvik [7]

Answer:

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.

(a) Mass of C

$\text{Mass of C} = \text{5.13 g CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{1.400 g C}$

(b) Mass of H

$\text{Mass of H} = \text{2.10 g H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{0.2349 g H}$

(c) Mass of O

Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

$\text{Moles of C = 1400 mg C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mmol C}}{\text{12.01 mg C }} = \text{116.6 mmol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 234.9 mg H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol H}}{\text{1.008 mg H}} = \text{233.1 mmol H}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 1870 mg O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol O}}{\text{16.00 mg O}} = \text{116 mmol O}$

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

$\text{C: } \dfrac{116.6}{116.6}= 1\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{233.1}{116.6} = 1.999\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{116}{116.6} = 1.00$

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O = 1:2:1

5. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is CH₂O.

6. Calculate the molecular formula.

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

$n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{150 u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 5.00 \approx 5$

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅

The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.

How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12

Nady [450]

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. Ex: Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol

Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.
