Hybridization of carbon in carbonyl group

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the hybridization of carbon in the carbonyl group during a chemical reaction involving CH3CN and aqueous H2SO4. Participants confirm that the carbon in the triple bond with nitrogen is sp hybridized, while the carbon in the carbonyl group is sp2 hybridized due to the double bond with oxygen. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hybridization in relation to molecular structure and reactivity. Participants seek clarification and validation of their hybridization assignments. Overall, the thread highlights the significance of hybridization in organic chemistry reactions.

Homework Statement


CH3CN [ in presence of aq. H2SO4 and 2H2O] → CH3COOH + NH3


The Attempt at a Solution


There is a triple bond present between Carbon and nitrogen, hence the first will be sp hybridized, while there is double bond between carbon and oxygen in the second, hence it should be sp2 hydrized, correct?

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
