If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom, what nucleus does it become?

If two protons are added to carbon, the chemical identity changes to oxygen, which is two spaces over horizontally on the periodic table. The number of protons is what we call the atomic number (Z), and this is what defines the identity of an element. Since we also added two neutrons, this is simply oxygen, or oxygen-16, the most abundant isotope of oxygen.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1. Energy intensity (primary energy consumption divided by GDP) for the world and various countries. The lower the value, the less energy is used to generate economic output, so lower means more efficient in a sense.

2.Lower Your Thermostat. Adopt the habit of lowering the temperature on your thermostat while away from home.

A hydrocarbon is a compound that contains mostly carbon and hydrogen. Calculate the percent composition (by mass) of the followi
Katena32 [7]
C7H16, where C=12.01, and H=1.01, so the weight of the molecule would be 7(12.01)+16(1.01), or 100.23. The percentage of carbon would be found by ((7*12.01)/100.23)*100=83.88% Carbon
((16*1.01)/100.23)*100=16.12% Hydrogen

A fine of 50.0 mL of 0.0900 M CaCl2 reacts with excess sodium carbonate to give 0.366 g of calcium carbonate precipitate. What i
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

81.26% is the percent yield

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

CaCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ → 2NaCl + CaCO₃

<em>Where 1 mole of CaCl₂ in excess of sodium carbonate produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate.</em>

<em />

To solve this question we must find the moles of CaCl2 added = Moles CaCO₃ produced (Theoretical yield). The percent yield is:

Actual yield (0.366g) / Theoretical yield * 100

<em>Moles CaCl₂ = Moles CaCO₃:</em>

0.0500L * (0.0900moles / L) = 0.00450 moles of CaCO₃

<em>Theoretical mass -Molar mass CaCO₃ = 100.09g/mol-:</em>

0.00450 moles of CaCO₃ * (100.09g / mol) = 0.450g of CaCO₃

Percent yield = 0.366g / 0.450g * 100

81.26% is the percent yield

What is the molecule shown below?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

2,3–dimethylpentane

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall determine the name of the compound.

To obtain the name of the compound, do the following:

1. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

2. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

3. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count.

4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall determine the name of the compound as follow:

1. The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus, the parent name of the compound is pentane.

2. The substituent group attached is methyl (–CH₃)

3. There are two methyl group attached to the compound. One is located at carbon 2 and the other at carbon 3.

4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2,3–dimethylpentane

None of the options are correct.

Assign each species to the expression that most accurately describes the basic units of that substance. categories: single atoms
Temka [501]
Atoms are the smallest form of the substance. examples of atoms are in elemental forms such as copper, helium, silver. Diatomic molecules are made up of identical atoms. Examples are I2.. F2 and Br2. Formula units are those compounds that are made up of two or more elements such as -No2, KMnO4,<span>C3H8, MgCl2, HgBr2, Ba(OH)2</span>
