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

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.

Calculate the specific heat capacity for a 22.7-g sample of lead that absorbs 237 J when its temperature increases from 29.8 °C
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf c\approx 0.159 \ J/ g \textdegree C}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the specific heat capacity of a sample of lead. The formula for calculating the specific heat capacity is:

c= \frac{Q}{m \times \Delta T}

The heat absorbed (Q) is 237 Joules. The mass of the lead sample (m) is 22.7 grams. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature. The temperature increases <em>from</em> 29.8 °C <em>to </em>95.6 °C.

  • ΔT = final temperature -inital temperature
  • ΔT= 95.6 °C - 29.8 °C = 65.8 °C

Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.

  • Q= 237 J
  • m= 22.7 g
  • ΔT = 65.8 °C

c= \frac {237 \ J}{22.7 \ g  \ \times  \ 65.8 \textdegree C}

Solve the denominator.

  • 22.7 g * 65.8 °C = 1493.66 g °C

c= \frac {237 \  J}{1493.66 \ g \textdegree C}

Divide.

c= 0.1586706479 J /g \textdegree C

The original values of heat, temperature, and mass all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

c \approx 0.159 \ J/g \textdegree C

The specific heat capacity of lead is approximately <u>0.159 Joules per gram degree Celsius.</u>

A gas sample occupies 3.50 liters of volume at 20.°c. what volume will this gas occupy at 100.°c (reported to three significant
VLD [36.1K]

Explanation:

According to Charle's law, at constant pressure the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

That is,             Volume \propto Temperature

Hence, it is given that V_{1} is 3.50 liters, T_{1} is 20 degree celsius, and T_{2} is 100 degree celsius.

Therefore, calculate V_{2} as follows.

                           \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

                           \frac{3.50 liter}{20^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{100^{o}C}

                                V_{2} = 17.5 liter

Thus, we can conclude that volume of gas required at 100 degree celsius is 17.5 liter.

An ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter. Which best describes heat flow in this situation
Sauron [17]
<span>When an ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter, heat will flow from the ice cube to the counter, causing the molecules in the counter to move more slowly. The molecules of the counter move more slowly because the heat transferred to them from the ice has reduced their kinetic energy.</span>

MrRissso [65]
When heat energy is supplied to a material it can raise the temperature of mass of the material.
Specific heat is the amount of energy required by 1 g of material to raise the temperature by 1 °C.
equation is 
H = mcΔt
H - heat energy 
m - mass of material 
c - specific heat of the material 
Δt - change in temperature
substituting the values in the equation 
120 J = 10 g x c x 5 °C
c = 2.4 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹

You are asked to determine the mass of a piece of copper using its reported density, 8.96 g/ml, and a 150-ml graduated cylinder.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:- Mass of copper piece is 290 gram.

Solution:- We know that, mass = density * volume

density of copper is given as 8.96 gram per mL.

Volume of copper piece is the rise change in volume.

Volume of copper piece = 137 mL - 105 mL = 32 mL

Let's multiply the volume by density to calculate the mass of copper:

mass of copper = 32mL(\frac{8.96g}{mL})

mass of copper = 286.72 g

Volume has two significant figures, so if we round the mass to two significant figures then it becomes 290 g.
