hybridization of carbon--is my teacher right?

Hi, in the link above, I am looking at the 1st image.

This is the answer my teacher offered, but at 7 and 8, shouldn't the hybridization be sp, not sp2?

We did not cover this topic in class, and I am kind of shaky on the topic.

sp for both 7th and 8th.
 
Indeed, 7 and 8 should be sp.
 
Thanks.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
