For the diethyl azodicarboxylate molecule (DEAD) below, the hybridization for arrow indicated oxygen atom is _______ and there is/are  _______  pi (π) bond(s) in the structure. Hint:  Not all H and C are written out.  Consider the bonded hydrogens and the lone pairs that are not depicted on the structure but may needed to complete an octet.  

Quick breads and biscuits use the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate as their source of gas for rapid inflation instead of yeast to make the dough rise. The chemical reaction follows:                                              2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + CO2(g) + H2O (g) What mass (g) of NaHCO3 is required to provide 1.75 L of CO2 gas at 428 K and 1.00 atm? Hint:  molar mass of NaHCO3 is 84.01 g/mol 

Hydrogen gas reacts with chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride according to the following reaction: H2 (g) + Cl₂ (g) → 2 HCl (g) The molecular-level diagram shows three H2  molecules and four Cl2 molecules before a reaction occurs. What is the limiting reactant, and how many HCl molecules should form?
