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 volume is occupied by 35.2 g of carbon tetrachloride if its density is 1.60 g/ml?

ycow [4]

Density is mass divided by volume. Therefore, volume is mass divided by density.

$V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{35.2g}{1.60\frac{g}{ml}}=22.0\ ml$

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?

galina1969 [7]

J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

Hypochlorous acid decays in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. Assume that degradation occurs accord- ing to first-order kin

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

35.75 days

Explanation:

From the given information:

For first-order kinetics, the rate law can be expressed as:

$\mathsf{In \dfrac{C}{C_o} = -kt}$

Given that:

the rate degradation constant = 0.12 / day

current concentration C = 0.05 mg/L

initial concentration C₀ = 3.65 mg/L

$\mathsf{In( \dfrac{0.05}{3.65})= -(0.12) t}$

㏑(0.01369863014) = -(0.12) t

-4.29 = -(0.12)

t = -4.29/-0.12

t = 35.75 days
