Carbon has four valence electrons. These electrons are associated for a specific atom and is responsible for forming a bond to different atoms. For carbon, in order to agree with the octet rule, it should have 4 more electrons. For an oxygen atom, there are 6 valence electrons present so it would need two more electrons. Thus, carbon atoms would share electrons with another two oxygen atoms wherein each oxygen atom would form double bonds with the carbon atom. So, the characteristics of these bonds would be that all of the four valence electrons of the carbon are being shared.

In the operation of the Heat Transfer Service Unit, one of the variables you can control is the rate of cooling water flowing ag
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

A. The rate of heat transfer through the material would increase.

Explanation:

To calculate the heat transfer in a heat exchanger you decide that there is not heat leakage to the surroundings, that means that  magnitude of the two transfer rates will be equal. Any heat lost by the hot fluid, is gained by the cold fluid. The equation that describes this is Q = m×Cp×dT

Where:

heat = mass flow ×specific heat capacity × temperature difference

So if we increase the rate of flow of cooling water and the other variables that ypu can control remain the same, the result is that the rate of heat transfer through the material would increase, as it is stated in option a.
