<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>

In the following reaction, how many liters of o2 will produce 43.62 liters of co2 at stp? c3h8 5 o2 3 co2 4 h2o
antoniya [11.8K]
The balanced chemical reaction:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

<span>43.62 L CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 22.4 L CO2 ) (5 mol O2 / 3 mol CO2 ) ( 22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 72.7 L O2</span>

2. Calculate the [H+] in the following solutions, given their pH, and identify the solution as acidic, basic or neutral.
givi [52]

Answer:

a) acidic; [H+] = 10^-2.5 = 3 x 10^-3

b) basic; [H+] = 10^-11.7 = 2 x 10^-12

c) slightly acidic (almost neutral); [H+] = 10^-6.8 = 1.6 x 10^-7

d) acidic; [H+] = 10^-3.31 = 4.9 x 10^-4

Explanation:

pH < 7 is acidic; pH > 7 is basic; pH = 7 is neutral

[H+] = 10^-pH

Cells in this organism have different functions (jobs). Unicellular Organism or Multicellular Organism?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Multicellular Organism

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms are made of one cell. For example, bacteria. Multicellular organisms are made up of more than one cell. For example, humans.

If the entire organism is one cell, that one cell carries out all the functions. In contrast, we have different cells to carry out different jobs. E.g. blood cells, skin cells, stomach cells and many more.
