What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the bond between c2 and o in acetaldehyde, ch3cho?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Acetaldehyde is an organic compound (a compound containing C atoms) composed of a carbonyl group. On the other hand, a carbonyl group is a functional group containing C = O. The hybrid orbitals of a compound determines the number pi and s orbitals in the electronic configuration. For a single bond, there are two s orbitals. For double bonds, on the other hand, the number of s orbital bond is 1 while the number of pi bonds is 2. For triple bonds, there are three pi bonds present in the cloud.

Thus for a c = O bond, the atomic orbital configuration is sp3 containing 1 s orbital and 2 pi bonds.

A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes
insens350 [35]

0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:

Given:

mass (m)  = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg

Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules

Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K

cp (specific heat capacity) = ?

the formula used for heat absorbed  and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:

q = mc Δ T

c = \frac{q}{mΔ T}

c = \frac{355}{63.5X 268.59}

 = 0.208 J/gm K

specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K

The specific heat capacity is defined as  the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

<u>Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl</u>, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the<u> following masses of its components</u>:

  • 209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C
  • 209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H
  • 209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

  • 48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C
  • 12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H
  • 149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Calculate the pka of hypochlorous acid. The ph of a 0.015 m solution of hypochlorous acid has a ph of 4.64.
o-na [289]

Answer:

  • pKa = 7.46

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO

b) [HClO} = 0.015

c) pH = 4.64

d) pKa = ?

<u>2) Strategy:</u>

With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.

<u>3) Solution:</u>

a) pH

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • 4.64 = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • [H_3O^+]= 10^{-4.64} = 2.29.10^{-5}

b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

c) Equilibrium constant: Ka =  [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]

d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M

e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M

f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46

How much heat is released as the temperature of 25.2 grams of iron is decreased from 72.1°C to 9.8°C? The specific heat of iron
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Q=-697.06\ J

Negative sign says that release of heat.

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the heat released or absorbed of a process is shown below as:-

Q=m\times C\times \Delta T

Where,  

\Delta H  is the heat released or absorbed

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T  is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass = 25.2 g

Specific heat = 0.444 J/g°C

\Delta T=9.8-72.1\ ^0C=-62.3\ ^0C

So,  

Q=25.2\times 0.444\times -62.3\ J=-697.06\ J

Negative sign says that release of heat.
