Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​

Chemistry
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.

What can help overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid
IgorC [24]

Answer: D. An increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.

To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid  solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.

If z = 4.0 and y = 9.6, what is the value of x?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The value of x will be "1.4".

Explanation:

The given values are:

y = 9.6

z = 4.0

As we know,

The relation between x, y and z is:

⇒ z = \frac{y}{x}

and,

⇒ x=\frac{y}{z}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{5.6}{4.0}

⇒    =1.4
