<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Lewis acid-base concept:

The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.

For the given chemical reaction:

CuO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)

CO_2 is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to CO_3^{2-}. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.

O^{2-} present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.

Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

Group 1A element sodium combines with Group 7A element chlorine to form sodium chloride or table salt. Based on this information
Ymorist [56]
The answer is Na < Cl

Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium because this follows the trend of the periodic table. The trend states that an element's electronegativity increases from left to right of a period and bottom to up of a group. Since sodium and chlorine are from the same period, and chlorine is at the right of sodium, chlorine is more electronegative.

Consider the followong balanced reaction. What mads in g of co2 can be formed from 288 mg of o2. Assume that there is excess c3h
Gwar [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>0.264 g of CO_2 can be formed from 288 mg of O_2</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The balanced chemical equation is

2 C_3 H_7 OH+9 O_2> 6 CO_2+8 H_2 O

The conversions are  

Mass in mg O_2 is converted to mass in g O_2  

Mass in g O_2 is converted to moles O_2 by dividing with molar mass  

Moles O_2 is converted to moles CO_2  by using the mole ratio of O_2:CO_2 is 9 : 6

Moles CO_2  is converted to mass CO_2 by multiplying with molar mass CO_2

mass in mg O_2  > mass in g O_2 >moles O_2 > moles CO_2 > mass CO_2

288mg O_2 \times \frac{(1g O_2)}{(1000mg O_2 )} \times \frac {(1molO_2)}{(32gO_2 )}\times\frac {(6mol CO_2)}{(9mol O_2 )} \times \frac {(44.0 gCO_2)}{(1mol CO_2 )}

=0.264g (Answer)

When copper (Cu) and oxygen (O) combine, two different compounds are formed. The first compound contains 88.8% copper by mass, a
marusya05 [52]
1) Chemical reaction 1: 4Cu + O₂ →  2Cu₂O.
n(Cu) = 88,8 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,4.
n(O) = 11,2 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,4 : 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 2 : 1.
Compound is Cu₂O.
2) Chemical reaction 2: 2Cu + O₂ →  2CuO.
n(Cu) = 79,9 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,257.
n(O) = 20,1 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,257 : 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1 : 1.
Compound is CuO.

Convert 6.93 x 1024 atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 11.5 moles of carbon

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of carbon = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

Z moles = 6.93 x 10^24 atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply:

(6.93 x 10^24 atoms x 1mole) = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x Z moles)

6.93 x 10^24 = (6.02 x 10^23 x Z)

Z = (6.93 x 10^24) ➗ (6.02 x 10^23)

Z = 1.15 x 10

Z = 11.5 moles

Thus, there are 11.5 moles of carbon.

Answer : first opinion and also last
Expiation : Note that these last two reactions, and 2H + 2H → 4He + γ, .Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two nuclei are combined, or fused, to form a larger nucleus. We know that all nuclei have less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that form them. The missing mass times c2 equals the binding energy of the nucleus—the greater the binding energy, the greater the missing mass.
