Since it has 4 electrons, it needs only 4 more to be stable. Therefore, it would share electrons, which is a covalent bond. 

Answer: Covalent bond

Combustion of 25.0 g of a hydrocarbon produces 86.5 g of co2. what is the empirical formula of the compound?
Step2247 [10]
Combustion is a reaction between a combustible substance and oxygen, to ultimately produce carbon dioxide and water. Reaction between carbon and oxygen would give,

                               C     +     O2      ------>  CO2

Here, we have 86.5 grams of carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a product of combustion. Dividing this mass by the molar mass of CO2, which is 44 grams, we can determine the number of moles of CO2. 

                          <u>     86.5 g CO       </u>   = 1.966 moles CO2
                            44 g CO2/ mole

Considering that CO2 is composed of 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen, and that with complete combustion, 1 mole of carbon reacts to produces 1 mole of CO2, we can then determine the mass of the carbon in the hydrocarbon fuel. 

        1.966 moles CO2   x   <u>   1 mole C   </u>    x   <u>   </u><u>12 g C   </u>  = 23.59 g C
                                             1 mole CO2          1 mole C

We were given 25.0 grams of the fuel hydrocarbon. A hydrocarbon is a substance consisting of carbon and hydrogen. To determine the mass of the hydrogen in the fuel, we simply subtract 23.59 grams from 25.0 grams. 


            25.0 g - 23.59 g = 1.41 grams Hydrogen 

To know the number of moles of hydrogen, we divide the mass of the hydrogen in the fuel by the molar mass of hydrogen, which is 1.01 g/mole. Thus, we have 1.396 mole hydrogen. 

To determine the empirical formula, we divide the number of moles carbon by the number of moles hydrogen, and find a factor that would give whole number ratios for the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel, 

Carbon:     <u>  1.966 mol   </u>   = 1.408   x   5 (factor)     = 7
                    1.396 mol

Hydrogen:  <u>  1.396 mol   </u>    = 1.00   x    5 (factor)    = 5
                     1.396 mol

Thus, the empirical formula is C7H5

(a) starting with solid sucrose, c12h22o11, describe how you would prepare 250 ml of a 0.250 m sucrose solution. (b) de- scribe
Anna007 [38]

a. We first calculate the moles of sucrose needed

moles sucrose = 0.250 M * 0.25 L

moles sucrose = 0.0625 mol

 

The molar mass of sucrose 342.3 g/mol, so the mass of sucrose needed is:

mass sucrose = 0.0625 mol * 342.3 g/mol

mass sucrose = 21.4 grams

 

So simply dissolved about 21.4 grams of sucrose in 250 mL solution.

 

b. We use the formula:

M1 V1 = M2 V2

1.50 M * V1 = 0.100 M * 0.350 L

V1 = 0.0233 L = 23.3 mL

 

So simply take 23.3 mL of solution from 1.50 M then dilute it with water until 350 mL to make 0.100 M.

Why are burning candles and rusting nails examples of chemical change?
stiv31 [10]
First Rusting is  slow oxidation of iron into iron oxide using H2O and oxygen in atmosphere which is a chemical reaction.

burning is also a oxidation but kinda fast using oxygen in atmosphere to oxidize the hydrocarbon(paraffin wax) in candle to give heat and CO2.

So they are both chemical reactions which happens at different rate.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

New cells arise from existing cells.

Explanation:

According to the cell theory, "all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells"(Lumen Learning).

Cells are the basic unit of life. Some organisms consists of only one cell while other organisms have many cells and are called multicellular organisms.

In multicellular organisms, new cells are formed by the division of preexisting cells.
