Hydrogen and Oxygen by themselves have 1 and 6 valence electrons, respectively. 8 valence electrons is stable, so the atoms form bonds with each other to achieve 8 valence e-.
1 H atom + 1 H atom + 1 O atom = 8 valence e-
Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
Answer:
The sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation is 11
Explanation:
A reaction where an organic compound reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is called combustion.
The balance reaction of combustion for methanol is:
2CH₃OH (l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O (g)
Coefficients from stoichiometry are 2, 3, 2 and 4
Sum = 2 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 11
Answer:
Less than one gram
Explanation:
Since there is no whole number before the decimal it means that the number is less than whole meaning it is less than one gram
