Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group: R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a <u>sp³</u> hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.

Consider the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. if 4.40 mol of m

Georgia [21]

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows ;
Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2
The stoichiometry of Mg to HCl is 1:2
This means that 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol of HCl
Equal amounts of both Mg and HCl have been added. One reagent is the limiting reactant and other reactant is in excess.
Limiting reactant is the reagent that is fully used up in the reaction and the amount of Product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant present.
In this reaction if Mg is the limiting reactant, 4.40 moles of Mg should react with 4.40x2 -8.80 moles of HCl.
But only 4.40 moles of HCl present therefore HCl is the limiting reactant that reacts with 4.40/2 = 2.20 moles of Mg
Stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl2 is 2:1
Since HCl moles reacted -4.40 mol
Then MgCl2 moles formed are 4.40/2 = 2.20 mol of MgCl2

Rust results from iron’s reaction to oxygen. An iron nail gains mass when it rusts. How does this reaction support the law of co

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Option (A). The mass of the rusted nail equals the mass of iron and the oxygen from the air it reacted with to form the rust.

Is the aqueous solution of each of these salts acidic, basic, or neutral? (a) cr(no3)3 acidic basic neutral (b) nahs acidic basi

melisa1 [442]

1) chromium(III) nitrate is acidic, because it is the salt of weak base (chromium(III) hydroxide Cr(OH)₃) and strong acid (nitric acid HNO₃).
2) sodium hydrosulfide is basic, because it is the salt of strong base (sodium hydroxide MaOH) and weak acid (hydrogen sulfide H₂S).
3) zinc acetate is little basic, because zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂) is stronger base than acetic acid (CH₃COOH).

The hybrid orbital set used by the central atom in h2co is ________. the hybrid orbital set used by the central atom in h2co is

Feliz [49]

The Lewis structure for H₂CO is shown in the attached picture. The central atom is the carbon. However, I'm not sure which bond you're referring to. There can be two answers. The two C-H bonds are sp³ hybridized because it is a single bond. The C=O bond is sp² hybridized because it is a double bond.
