Answer to Question #251905 in General Chemistry for mustang

Question

Contrast orbital hybridization in the first carbon of ethane with orbital hybridization in the first carbon of ethene, and describe specifically the different hybridizations and how they affect the geometry of each molecule.

Answer 1

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
