How many electrons does carbon lack in its outer shell? biochemistry

tekilochka [14]

A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.

Write the balanced equation for a reaction between aqueous nitric acid (HNO3) and solid lithium metal (this is a single replacem

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: The equation is given below.

Explanation:

Single replacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. General equation for these reactions is given by the equation:

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series. In this series, the metals lying above are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

For the reaction of solid lithium metal and nitric acid, the equation follows:

$3Li(s)+4HNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 3LiNO_3(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+NO(g)$

This is a type of single replacement reaction because Lithium (more reactive metal) is replacing Hydrogen (less reactive metal) from the chemical reaction.

Exercise A mixture of 250 mL of methane, CH4, at 35 °C and 0.55 atm and 750 mL of propane, C3Hg, at 35° C and 1.5 atm, were intr

dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$V_{1}$ = 250 mL, $V_{2}$ = 750 mL

$T_{1}$ = $35^{o}C$ = 35 + 273 K = 308 K

$T_{2}$ = 35 + 273 K = 308 K

$P_{1}$ = 0.55 atm, $P_{2}$ = 1.5 atm

P = ? , V = 10.0 L

Since, temperature is constant.

So, $P_{1}V_{1} + P_{2}V_{2}$ = PV

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} + P_{2}V_{2}$ = PV

$0.55 atm \times 250 mL + 1.5 atm \times 1.5 atm$ = $P \times 10.0 L$

P = 0.126 atm

As, 1 atm = 760 torr. So, $0.126 atm \times \frac{760 torr}{1 atm}$ = 95.76 torr.

Thus, we can conclude that the final pressure, in torr, of the mixture is 95.76 torr.

In what way(s) is(are) the structure of water similar to that of CHCl3? In what way is the structure of water different from tha

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In both cases the central atoms, C in CHCl₃ and O in H₂O, are sp³ hybridized .

Since they are sp³ hybridized we predict an angle between the H-C-Cl and H-O-H of 109.5 º ( tetrahedral ), but two of the sp³ orbitals in water are occupied by lone pairs.

These lone pairs do excercise more repulsion ( need more room ) than the bonds oxygen is making with hydrogen.

As a consequence of this repulsion the angles H-O-H are less than the predicted 109.5º in tetrahedra. ( Actually is 104.5 º)
