Answer: it has 4 electrons surrounding it. Every electron wants to be bonded to another electron. That means every atom want 8 electrons total. Carbon on its own only has 4 electrons. That means it can make 4 bonds.

If we react 30 grams of ethane (C2H6 ) with 320 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide would we make
V125BC [204]

The mass of carbon dioxide that would be made by reacting 30 grams C2H6 with 320 grams O2 will be 80 grams

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C_2H_6+7O_2---4CO_2+6H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H6 to O2 is 2:7.

  • Mole of 30 grams C2H6 = mass/molar mass

                                        = 30/30

                                       = 1 mole

  • Mole of 320 grams O2 = 320/32

                                       = 10 moles

Thus, C2H6 is the limiting reactant.

Mole ratio of C2H6 to CO2 according to the equation = 1:2

Since the mole of C2H6 is 1, the equivalent mole of CO2 would, therefore, be 2.

Mass of 2 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

                                    = 2 x 44

                                      = 88 grams

The wavelength idea of the wave-mechanical model refers to what?
Virty [35]
<span> The wave idea derives from the electrons' behavior about the nucleus of an atom, and it follows Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and draws away from Bohr's planetary model of the atom.</span>

Carbon dioxide gas reacts with liquid water to produce aqueous carbonic acid.” Which chemical equation correctly translates this
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Last option:
CO2 (g) + H2O (l) -> H2CO3 (aq)

In the brackets:
g = gas,
l = liquid,
s = solid,
aq = aqueous.

So,
CO2 (g) = carbon dioxide gas
H2O (l) = liquid water
H2CO3 (aq) = aqueous carbonic acid
