This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Which formula represents a hydrocarbon?

(1) CH3I

(2) CH3NH2

(3) CH3CH3

(4) CH3OH

Answer:

The correct answer is option (3) CH3CH3 .

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon is an organic compound and as we can see in its formula, it is composed of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C).

Each carbon has 4 electrons, it is for this reason that it will have to make four bonds for the union to be stable, and since these bonds in carbon are generated in an easy and strong way, this will allow thousands of types to be generated of hydrocarbons.

There are different chains that these atoms can form:

Linear / Branched
Open / Closed

In turn, hydrocarbons can be classified as aliphatic or aromatic.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option C.

Consider the perbromate anion. What is the central atom? Enter its chemical symbol. How many lone pairs are around the central a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The central atom in the perbromate ion is bromine. The chemical symbol of bromine is Br. There are no lone pairs around the central bromine atom. The ion is tetrahedral in shape hence we expect a bond angle of 109°. 27 which is the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. The actual bond angle of the prebromate ion is 109.5°. The perbromate ion is BrO4^-

The observed bond angle is very close to the ideal value because of the absence of lone pairs of electrons from the central atom in the ion.

A sample of a compound made entirely from copper and oxygen was found to have a total mass of 0.143 g the mass of copper in the

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Mass of Oxygen: 0.0159 grams

Moles of Oxygen: 9.94x10^-4

To find the mass of oxygen, subtract the mass of copper from the total mass.

$0.143-0.1271=0.0159$

There are 0.0159 grams of Oxygen.

To find how many moles there are, divide the given amount of oxygen by the molar mass (atomic mass) of oxygen because that mass is the same as one mole of oxygen.

Molar mass of Oxygen: 16.00

$0.0159/16.00=9.94*10^{-4}$

There are 9.94*10^-4 moles of Oxygen.
