Q:

The PCl5 molecule has trigonal bipyramidal structure. Therefore,the hybridization of p orbitals should be

A) sp2 B) sp3
C) dsp2 D) dsp3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) dsp3

Explanation:

The P atom needs five orbitals to form the five P-Cl bonds. It has a 3s and three 3p orbitals, so it must use one of its 3d orbitals to form the fifth bond. These orbitals are hybridized to form five sp3d orbitals that just happen to point in the right directions to form a trigonal bipyramid.

Q:

Which equation is an example of a synthesis reaction?

A) 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O B) Na + Cl → NaCl
C) HA + BOH → H2O + BA D) NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Na + Cl → NaCl

Explanation:

When two or more chemical species combine to form a single product, the reaction is said to be synthesis reaction. It is also called as Direct Combination reaction.

 

Here in the given options, Sodium (Na) combines with Chlorine (Cl) to form a more complex single product Sodium Chloride (NaCl).

Q:

1 Mole of CO2 mass is

A) 32 gms B) 44 gms
C) 16 gms D) 12 gms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 44 gms

Explanation:

We know that,

Mass of Carbon = 12 gms

Mass of Oxygen = 16 gms = O2 => 16 * 2 = 32 gms

=> Mass of 1 mole of CO2 = 12 + 32 = 44 gms.
