The number of sp2 hybrid orbitals on the carbon atom in CO32– is 3. Because hybrids = combination of 2 different types of orbitals
sp2 = 1/3 s character + 2/3 p character

Answer: 3

Explanation: Formula used for calculating the hybrid orbitals:

CO_3^{2-}:

:{\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where, V = number of valence electrons present in central atom i.e. carbon = 4

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom=0

C = charge of cation = 0

A = charge of anion = -2

{\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[4+0-0+2]=3

The number of electrons is 3 that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar which will be formed by three sp^2 hybrid orbitals.

Using the idea of electronegativity difference for predicting polarity of bonds and considering the shape of the following molec
Zinaida [17]
See electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to gain an electron and flourine with a valecy of one and a vey small size is the most electronegetive because its orbitals are quite closed to the nucleus and hence the attraction is quite strong so it can attract an electron.the question that arises is that some smaller atoms should be more electronegetive as they are closer to the nucleus but it need more energy for them as compared to flourine to complete their octet. now polarity increases when two atoms of quite different sizes form a compound ... the more electronegetive atom will always attract the bond pair forming a negetive charge on it and positive on the less electroneg. one and polarity increases with electronegetivity of the anion.now as your question says 
<span>5=I2.. because both the atoms are same there wont be permanent polarity </span>
<span>4=HI iodine is the least electronegetive of all the halogens due to its large size,electronegetivity decreases down the group </span>
<span>3=HBr bromine is the 2nd largest halogen </span>
<span>2=HCl chlorine is the 3rd largest halogen </span>
<span>1=HF fluorine is the smallest halogen making and hence makes the most polar</span>

Calculate ΔG o for the following reaction at 25°C: 3Mg(s) + 2Al3+(aq) ⇌ 3Mg2+(aq) + 2Al(s) Enter your answer in scientific notat
larisa [96]

Answer:

-3.7771 × 10² kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following equation.

3 Mg(s) + 2 Al³⁺(aq) ⇌ 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 Al(s)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = ∑np . ΔG°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔG°f(r)

where,

n: moles

ΔG°f(): standard Gibbs free energy of formation

p: products

r: reactants

ΔG° = 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al(s)) - 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg(s)) - 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al³⁺(aq))

ΔG° = 3 mol × (-456.35 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 3 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 2 mol × (-495.67 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -377.71 kJ = -3.7771 × 10² kJ

This is the standard Gibbs free energy per mole of reaction.

Recalling that a beaker of water is two dimensional, what is the three dimensional shape of the micelle
saul85 [17]
A micelle refers to an aggregate of a surfactant molecule, which a dispersed in a liquied colloid. In an aqueous liquid, a micelle is arranged in such a way that its hydrophillic head region will be in contact with the surrounding solvents while the hydrophobic tail region will be embedded in its center. 
The three dimensional shape of a micelle is A SPHERE.

Using the mass of the proton 1.0073 amu and assuming its diameter is 1.0×10−15m, calculate the density of a proton in g/cm3.
icang [17]

Answer : 3.2 X 10^{15} g/cm^{3}

Explanation :  To convert amu i.e. atomic mass unit in grams we have the conversion factor as 1 amu = 1.66054 X 10^{-24} g

we know the mass of the proton is 1.0073 amu

So converting it into grams we have to multiply;

1.0073 amu X  1.66054 X 10^{-24} g/amu = 1.673 X 10^{-24} g

Now, Volume = 1/6πd³ as diameter is given as 1.0 X 10^{-15} m converting it to cm will require to multiply with 100

∴ Volume  = 1/6π (1.0 X 10^{-15}mX 100 cm / 1 m)^{3}

Hence, volume =  5.236 X 10^{-40} cm^{3}

Therefore, Density = mass / volume

∴ Density =  1.673 X 10^{-24} g / 5.236 X 10^{-40} cm^{3}

Therefore, Density will be 3.2 X 10^{15} g/cm^{3}.

Which part of experimental design is most important to a scientist when replicating an experiment? Having exactly the same data
yarga [219]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below:

Explanation:

Having exactly the same data as the previous experiment I think that having the same data as the previous experiment is extremely important but not the most important, for me is the second most important.

Using the same procedure and variables as the previous experiment For me, this is the most importan thing when a scientist is designing an experiment, because if he or she follow exactly the same procedure and variables, then the results will be very close.

Conducting an experiment similar to the previous experiment  This characteristic is important but not the most important.

Using the same laboratory that was used in the previous experiment It is not important the laboratory, if the procedure and variables are the same, your experiment must give the same results in whatever laboratory.
