What is the hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dovator [93]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

sp2

Explanation:

Orbital hybridization is defined as the changes in the orbitals of atoms when they pair with electrons of other atoms to form chemical bonds.

C atoms in C2Cl4 or tetrachloroethene have a total of three bond pairs, two with each chlorine atom and one with other carbon atom and zero lone pairs. Thus, C atoms in C2Cl4 is  sp2 hybridized.

Hence, the correct answer is "sp2".

The Lewis structure for CO2 has a central The Lewis structure for C O 2 has a central blank atom attached to blank atoms.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for  CO_2 has a central Carbon<em> </em>atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the CO_2  we will have a structure:  O=C=O the <u>central atom</u> "carbon" we will have <u>2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp hybridization</u>. For O we have <u>1 pi and 1 sigma bond</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp2 hybridization</u>.

2) These atoms are held together by <u>double bonds.</u>

<u></u>

Again in the structure of CO_2: O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a <u>Linear</u> electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is <u>Sp</u> hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an <u>Sp</u> hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

Now consider the reaction when 45.0 g NaOH have been added. What amount of NaOH is this, and what amount of FeCl3 can be consume
gayaneshka [121]

The correct answer is that 1.125 mol of NaOH is available, and 60.75 g of FeCl₃ can be consumed.

The mass of NaOH is 45 g

The molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

The moles of NaOH = mass / molar mass

= 45 / 40

= 1.125

Thus, 1.125 mol NaOH is available

3 NaOH + FeCl₃ ⇒ Fe (OH)₃ + 3NaCl

3 mol of NaOH react with 1 mol of FeCl₃

1.125 moles of NaOH will react with x moles of FeCl₃

x = 1.125 / 3

x = 0.375 mol

0.375 mol FeCl₃ can take part in reaction

The molar mass of FeCl₃ is 162 g/mol

The mass of FeCl₃ = moles × mass

= 0.375 × 162

= 60.75 g

Thus, the amount of FeCl₃, which can be consumed is 60.75 g

How many molecules are in 70.7 grams of C4H10?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

1.216mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is (12 x4)+ (1x 10) = 48 + 10 = 58g

1 grams C4H10 is equal to 0.017205129881525 mole.

70.7 grams = 70.7 x 0.017205129881525  = 1.216mol

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Burning fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide stored millions of years ago. ... The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased more in the northern hemisphere where more fossil fuel burning occurs. Since the Industrial Revolution the concentration globally has increased by about 40 % .

If a typical antacid tablet contains 2.0 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate, how many moles of carbon dioxide should one tablet yiel
ivolga24 [154]
The equation of the chemical reaction is NaHCO3 + H+ --> H2O + CO2 + Na
To determine the total number of moles of carbon dioxide, the given mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate is divided with its own molar mass. Then it is multiplied with the ratio between NaHCO3 and carbon dioxide. The total number of moles of CO2 one tablet should yield is 0.024 mole.
