When two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen atom to form water what happens to the electrons?

Chemistry

Elodia [21]3 years ago

Most bonds are made when a positive atom or molecule (one that is missing an electron in its outer shell) accepts an electron from a negative atom or molecule. Hydrogen is a positive ion because it only has one electron in its outer shell instead of a pair. Oxygen has paired electrons, but because it is highly electronegative one of the outer electrons is held closer to the nucleus, creating a partial negative charge. This partial negative charge attracts the electron in the outer shell of hydrogen and creates a bond. This type of bond accounts for the high surface tension in water.

Calculate the mass in grams of carbon dioxide produced from 11.2 g of octane (C8H18) in the reaction above.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

34.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Octane  = 11.2g

  Reaction expression;

      2C₈H₁₈  + 25O₂  →  16CO₂  + 18H₂O

Mass of octane = 11.2g

Unknown:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  = ?

Solution:

From the balanced reaction equation;

         2 mole of octane produced 16 moles of carbon dioxide

From the given specie, let us find the number of moles;

    Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Molar mass of C₈H₁₈   = 8(12) + 18(1) = 114g/mole

Number of moles of octane  = \frac{11.2}{114}   = 0.098mole

   

    2 mole of octane produced 16 moles of carbon dioxide

    0.098 mole of octane will produce \frac{0.098 x 16}{2}   = 0.79mole of CO₂

Mass of CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass

           Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

Mass of CO₂  = 0.79 x 44  = 34.6g

Carbons from acetyl CoA are transferred to the citric acid cycle. Which is the first round of the citric acid cycle that could p
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.

Explanation:

In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.

In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.

<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>

<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>

On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1
