Which is the correct Lewis dot structure of C2H2

Chemistry
1 answer:
denpristay [2]4 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is A

The octet rule state that all main group elements form bonds such that they achieve a noble gas configuration with eight valence electrons. In this case carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell  and requires 4 more electrons to achieve an octet. Hydrogen is an exception to the octet rule and it only requires two electrons to achieve an octet. All the other options have C and H  forming bonds that do not lead to a noble gas configuration.

What are the purposes of theories in science?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).

How many grams of nitroglycerin are needed to produce 25.0 grams of CO2
LekaFEV [45]
N<em>itroglycerin  decomposes    according  to   the   following  equation

4 C3H5N309  --->  12 CO2 +  10 H20  +  6 N2 +O2
The  moles  of  CO2 =  25 /44(molar  mass  of  CO2)=  0.568  moles

the  mole  ratio  of  C3H5N3O9  to  CO2  IS  4:12   from  equation  above
therefore  the  moles  of  C3H5N3O9=( 0.568 x 4)/12= 0.189  moles
mass  of C3H5N3O9=moles  x  molar  mass  of  C3N5N3O9

That  is    0.189 mol x  227  g/mol=  42.903  grams</em>
