Answer: The chemical formula of carbon dioxide is $CO_2$

Explanation:

Chemical formula of any compound is the representation when elements combine with each other.

Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound and covalent compound is formed by the sharing of electrons between two elements that form a bond.

Electronic configuration of carbon: $1s^22s^22p^2$

Carbon need 4 electrons to complete its octet.

Electronic configuration of oxygen: $1s^22s^22p^4$

Oxygen need 2 electrons to complete its octet.

Hence, 2 oxygen atoms are required to complete the octet of 1 carbon atom. Hence, form a compound carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)

iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.75 L at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1.15 atm. What will the volume be at a tempera

omeli [17]

Answer: V = 5.1 L

Explanation: To find the new volume, we will use the formula of Combined Gas Law and derive V2. We also need to convert first the temperature in Kelvin and convert torr to atm ( 1 atm = 760 torrs ).
