During a combustion reaction, 12.2 grams of methane reacts with 14 g of oxygen. The reaction produces carbon dioxide and water.

If 20 grams of water are produced, how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced?

The reaction produces 6 g of carbon dioxide.

The word equation is

methane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

 12.2 g    +    4 g     →            x g          +  20 g

The <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em> tells us the total mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. Then

12.2 g + 14 g =<em> x</em> g + 20 g

<em>x</em> = 12.2 + 14 – 20 = 6

The mass of carbon dioxide is 6 g.

<em>Note</em>: The answer can have <em>no decimal places</em> because you gave none for the masses of oxygen and water.

Draw the lewis structure of sf2 showing all lone pairs.
abruzzese [7]

Answer :

The steps involved in the lewis-dot structure of SF_2 are :

  • First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in SF_2.

Number of valence electrons in S = 6

Number of valence electrons in two F atom = 2(7) = 14

Total number of valence electrons = 6 + 14 = 20 electrons

  • Placing a bonding pair of electrons between the atoms to form the chemical bonds.

Electrons used in bonding = 4

  • The remaining electrons are used as a lone pair for central or terminal atoms to achieve an octet to finish the Lewis dot structure.

Electrons used as a lone pair = 20 - 4 = 16

The ionization energy of atoms ________. Group of answer choices does not change going down within a group increases going down
Lorico [155]

Answer:

decreases going down within a group

Explanation:

Ionization energy of an atom is defined as the energy required to remove electron from the gaseous form the atom. The energy required to remove the highest placed electron in the gaseous form of an atom is referred to as the first ionization energy.

<em>In the periodic table, the </em><em>first ionization energy decreases down the group </em><em>because as the principal quantum number increases, the size of the orbital increases and the electron is easier to remove. </em>

<em>In addition, </em><em>the first ionization energy increases across the period </em><em>because electrons in the same principal quantum shell do not completely shield the increasing nuclear charge of the protons.</em>

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Anhydride, any chemical compound obtained, either in practice or in principle, by the elimination of water from another compound. Examples of inorganic anhydrides are sulfur trioxide, SO3, which is derived from sulfuric acid, and calcium oxide, CaO, derived from calcium hydroxide

Explanation:

<h3><em><u>examples</u></em><em><u>.</u></em></h3>

1)acid anhydride.

2)basic anhydrides.

<h3><em><u>reactions</u></em><em><u>. </u></em></h3>

1)reaction with water

(CH3CO)2O + H2O → 2 CH3CO2H.
