What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO2? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond angles in this substance? Bo

nd angles = fill in the blank 2
Chemistry
1 answer:
const2013 [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

sp

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.

Scientists use patterns in the periodic table to what?
Luba_88 [7]
I found this on google

“The periodic table is important because its is organized to provide a great deal of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one-easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not been discovered.”

I hope this helps

Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when ethane burns in air
damaskus [11]
<h3>Balanced equation : 2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains

General formula for alkanes :

\tt \large{\bold{C_nH_{2n+2}}

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

\large {\box {\bold{C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \dfrac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}

So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):

\tt C_2H_6+\dfrac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)

or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction

C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)

C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2

H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3

O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2
