Answer to Question #67640 in Chemistry for Irshad

Question

What is hybridization? Discuss sp2 hybridization in carbon.

Answer 1

Liquid state of gasoline allows chemical reaction only on its surface. Vaporized gasoline reacts in a volume, which increases the amount of effective collisions. That is why, liquid gasoline burns, but gasoline vapor explodes.

While working in the toxic atmosphere and wearing a protective mask, people inhibit collisions of harmful substances with their lungs. This helps to avoid poisoning.

Smaller water content makes comparative concentration of carbon atoms in dry wood greater. While increasing probability of reactants’ collision, this positively influences the reaction start and rate.
