An atom becomes stable if it has a full and complete ring. 2 of the choices are wrong off the start because you can't gain electrons and have a net positive charge, nor can you lose electrons and have a net negative charge. That leaves us with Option A or D. As I said earlier, an atom becomes stable if it has a full and complete ring. Obviously, if you lose 3 electrons from the last ring, the atom would be stable (because the 2nd ring is now full), and it also would have a net positive charge because it lost electrons.

One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

zhenek [66]

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂<span>O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between </span>Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
= 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
= 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
= 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x $\frac{3}{2}$
= 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
= 703540.02 g
= 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ = 703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
= 92.34%

Heredity is defined as

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation.

These are called genes. One mate reporduces with another made and the genetic buildup merges 50 % and 50% with genetics(if it's meiosis), or DNA codes from the parents to the offspring that then possess some of the genes. That shows heridity.

A 1.000 gram sample of an alcohol was burned in oxygen to produce 1.913 g of CO2 and 1.174 g of H20. The alcohol contained only

ycow [4]

The formula of alcohol are
1.913 g CO2/44 = 0.043 moles of CO2*12 = 0.043 moles of C 1.174 gram H2O/18 = 0.065 moles of H.
O: 1 - 0.516 g C - 13 g H = 0.354 g O/16 = 0.022 moles of O.
we have 0.043:0.130.;0.022 as C:H:O. Diving by the smallest no. 0.022 we get 1.95:5.9:1 or 2:6:1 as C:H:O.

hope this help

Why are valence electrons important

koban [17]

Explanation:

The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are the valence electrons. These electrons are the most loosely held in an atom.

The energy required to remove these electrons are not as great as those of the inner shell electrons.

Atoms of some elements show no tendency to combine with other atoms because they have completely filled outer energy levels.
Their outermost shell, valence shell and the electron numbers are complete for them. These are the noble gases.
other atoms share or exchange their valence electrons in order to have a stable configuration.
The valence electrons are involve in inter-atomic bond formation and interactions
Also the distribution of these electrons determines inter-molecular interactions between molecules.
