Answer:

Are produced only by living things.

Explanation:

Theory of spontaneous generation explains that living organisms are produced from the inorganic matter. For example: rats are originated from the wheat.

The theory of sponatneous genereation is not valid and considered as a mistaken idea. The living organisms are produed from the other living organisms or produced from the organic mattter only.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

How many moles of methane are in 20.32 x 10^16 molecules

Marizza181 [45]

Taking into account the definition of avogadro's number, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

First of all, you have to know that Avogadro's number indicates the number of particles of a substance (usually atoms or molecules) that are in a mole.

Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole and it applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023×10²³ molecules are contained in 1 mole of methane, then 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules are contained in how many moles of methane?

amount of moles of methane= (20.32×10¹⁶ molecules × 1 mole)÷ 6.023×10²³ atoms

Solving:

<u><em>amount of moles of methane= 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles</em></u>

Finally, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

Draw a lewis structure for ketene, c2h2o, which has a carbon–carbon double bond

MrMuchimi

Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.

Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.

An organic compound of the form $R^{'}R^{''}C=C=O$ is known as ketene.

The given ketene is $C_2H_2O$ .

The number of valence electron of:

$C = 4$

$H = 1$

$O = 6$

The number of valence electrons in $C_2H_2O$ = $2\times 4+2\times 1+1\times 6 =16$

2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.

Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of $C_2H_2O$ .
