Why it is impossible for an isolated atom to exist in the hybridized state?

1 answer:

7 0

Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom. The number of hybrid orbitals needs to be equal to the number of orbitals that have involved in prior to mixing.

The isolated atoms cannot prevail in a hybridized state as the atom in an isolated state do not form any kind of bond with the other atom, due to which the atomic orbitals do not go through the process of hybridization.

A sample of H2SO4 contains 2.02 g of hydrogen, 32.07 g of sulfur, and 64.00 g of oxygen. How many grams of sulfur and grams of o

Gemiola [76]

From the chemical formula of sulfuric acid, we can see the molar ratio:

H : S : O
2 : 1 : 4

Now, we convert the mass of hydrogen given into the moles of hydrogen. This is done using

Moles = mass / Mr
Moles = 7.27 / 1
Moles = 7.27

Therefore, the moles will be:

S = 7.27 / 2 = 3.64 moles
O = 7.27 * 2 = 14.54 moles

Now, the respective masses are:
S = 32 * 3.64 = 116.48 grams
O = 16 * 14.54 = 232.64 grams

If a swimming pool contains 2,850 kiloliters (kL) of water, how many gallons (gal) of water does it contain? (1 gal = 3.785 L)

siniylev [52]

we are given

a swimming pool contains 2,850 kiloliters (kL) of water

2,850 kiloliters (kL)=2850000L

we know that

$1gal=3.785L$
