True or False the molecule CCl4 contains one double bond and three single bonds.
2 answers:
Answer: False
Explanation: Carbon is the central atom which has valency of 4 and can form 4 bonds to complete its octet. Each chlorine has valency of 1 and can form only one bond to complete its octet. Thus carbon can bond with four chlorine atoms through sharing of electrons to form four single bonds. Thus it cannot contain a double bond.

Answer:
A. fluorine, 1.79 moles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of carbon = 87.7g
Mass of fluorine gas = 136g
Unknown:
The limiting reactant and the maximum amount of moles of carbon tetrafluoride that can be produced = ?
Solution:
Equation of the reaction:
C + 2F₂ → CF₄
let us find the number of the moles the given species;
Number of moles =
C; molar mass = 12;
Number of moles = = 7.31moles
F; molar mass = 2(19) = 38g/mol
Number of moles = = 3.58moles
So;
From the give reaction:
1 mole of C requires 2 moles of F₂
7.31 moles of C will then require 2 x 7.31 moles of F₂ = 14.62moles
But we have 3.58 moles of the F₂;
Therefore, the reactant in short supply is F₂ and it is the limiting reactant;
So;
2 moles of F₂ will produce mole of CF₄
3.58 moles of F₂ will then produce = 1.79moles of CF₄
