Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms when there's an electrostatic attraction between them. This attraction results from the properties and characteristics of the atoms' outermost electrons, which are known as valence electrons.

1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

juin [17]

For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & +1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.
3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and
"the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.

Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 7.9 g of methane is

Vikki [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

$CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

As it is known that number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. Molar mass of methane is 16 g/mol.

Hence, No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{7.9 g}{16 g/mol}$

= 0.493 mol

Molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

Hence, its number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{14.4 g}{32 g/mol}$

= 0.45 mol

As, it is shown from the reaction that 1 mole of methane needs 2 mole of oxygen.

Therefore, 0.493 mol of methane needs $2 \times 0.45 mol$ equals 0.9 moles of oxygen.

As there is only 0.45 moles of oxygen for the reaction. So, it means that oxygen is the limiting reagent.

Hence, for 0.45 moles of oxygen, methane required is as follows.

$\frac{0.45}{2}$ = 0.225 moles

So, 0.225 moles of methane is equal to $0.225 \times 16$ = 3.6 g

As, 3.6 g of methane reacts with oxygen. Therefore, amount of methane remains is calculated as follows.

(7.9 g - 3.6 g) = 4.3 g

Thus, we can conclude that the minimum mass of methane that could be left over by the chemical reaction is 4.3 g.

Using the equation, C5H12 + 8O2 Imported Asset 5CO2 + 6H2O, if an excess of pentane (C5H12) were supplied, but only 4 moles of o

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: 3 moles of water would be produced in present case.

Reason:
Reaction involved in present case is:
 C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O

In above reaction, 1 mole of C5H12 reacts with 8 moles of oxygen to give 6 moles of water.

Thus, 4 moles of oxygen will react with 0.5 mole of C5H12, to generate 3 moles of H2O.
