That means that one (s) type orbital and three (p) type orbitals (all of the p orbitals in the valence set) have been mixed together to form four NEW atomic orbitals, all of equal energy, that point in specific directions (to the four vertices of a tetrahedron) the directions that the orbitals point is THE point of doing this because that enables you to explain why certain compounds like CH4 have a tetrahedral structure. It's kind of circular logic that you have to basically accept, but it makes sense if you delve deeper into the theory

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

What mass of H2 is needed to react with 8.75 g of O2 according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g)?
alina1380 [7]

Mass of H₂ needed to react with O₂ : 1.092 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

Reaction

O₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

mass of O₂ : 8.75 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{8.75}{32}=0.273

From the equation, mol ratio of O₂ : H₂ = 1 : 2, so mol H₂ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.273=0.546

Mass H₂ (MW=2 g/mol) :

\tt 0.546\times 2=1.092~g

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEA
Setler [38]

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

  • Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
  • As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
  • Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
  • When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.

2.00 L of 0.800 M NaNO3 must be prepared from a solution known to be 2.50 M in concentration.How many mL are required? Plus don'
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1.36 × 10³ mL of water.

Explanation:

We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:

\displaystyle M_1V_1= M_2V_2

Where <em>M</em> represents molarity and <em>V</em> represents volume.

Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be <em>M</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be <em>M</em>₂ and <em>V</em>₂, respectively. Solve for <em>V</em>₁:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (2.50\text{ M})V_1 &= (0.800\text{ M})(2.00\text{ L}) \\ \\ V_1 & = 0.640\text{ L} \end{aligned}

Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
\displaystyle 2.00\text{ L} - 0.640\text{ L} = 1.36\text{ L}

Convert this value to mL:
\displaystyle 1.36\text{ L} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 1.36\times 10^3\text{ mL}

Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.

The compound whose molecules have the highest average kinetic energy is?
KIM [24]

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The warmer the molecules, the higher the average kinetic energy.

"As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles. This is registered as an increase in the temperature of the substance." -lumen learning

(I know for sure but what think... hope this helped)
