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.

By mistake, you added salt instead of sugar to the<br> oil. How can you remove the salt?
Ghella [55]

Explanation:

To remove the salt from the oil, I will add water to dissolve the salt from it.

Oil is an organic molecule that is non-polar

Salt is polar ionic compound

Salt will not dissolve in the oil.

  • Take the mixture.
  • Add water to it.
  • Water and oil are immiscible
  • Shake the new heterogeneous mixture vigorously.
  • leave to settle.
  • Oil will come on top of the water.
  • You can skim off the oil layer on top.
  • Then heat the water and salt solution.
  • This leaves the oil behind.

How many liters of CO2 are in 4.76 moles? (at STP)
dem82 [27]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of carbon dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 106.624 L

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of carbon dioxide = 4.76 moles

<u>At STP:</u>

1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 Liters

So, for 4.76 moles of carbon dioxide gas will occupy a volume of = \frac{22.4L}{1mol\times 4.76mol=106.624L

Hence, the volume of carbon dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 106.624 L

Power is the rate at which energy is?
Mrrafil [7]
In physics, power is the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. In the SI system, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine.
