Answer:
Nonbonding pairs of electrons.
Explanation:
Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.
<u>Answer:</u> The number of carbon and oxygen atoms in the given amount of carbon dioxide is
and
respectively
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Given mass of carbon dioxide gas = 3.45 g
Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas contains 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen atoms.
According to mole concept:
1 mole of a compound contains
number of molecules
So, 0.0784 moles of carbon dioxide gas will contain
number of carbon atoms and
number of oxygen atoms
Hence, the number of carbon and oxygen atoms in the given amount of carbon dioxide is
and
respectively
Answer:
Percent yield of SiC is 77.0%.
Explanation:
Balanced reaction: 
Molar mass of SiC = 40.11 g/mol
Molar mass of
= 60.08 g/mol
So, 100.0 kg of
=
moles of
= 1664 moles of 
According to balanced equation, 1 mol of
produces 1 mol of SiC
Therefore, 1664 moles of
produce 1664 moles of SiC
Mass of 1664 moles of SiC =
= 66743g = 66.74 kg (4 sig. fig.)
Percent yield of SiC = [(actual yield of SiC)/(theoretical yield of SiC)]
%
=
%
= 77.0%
I would say d
Hope that helps :)
