Carbon dioxide has 4 lone pairs of electrons. During bonding, the bonds accounts for 8 electrons of the 16 valence electrons the molecule has. The remaining 8 valence electrons will be placed as lone pairs, two on each oxygen atom. As a result carbon dioxide molecule has a total 4  lone pairs of electrons. Dicarbon monoxide is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.  A lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and is some times called a non-bonding pair. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms.

What is the chemical formula of the salt produced by the neutralization of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid?KSO3KSO4K(SO4)
kakasveta [241]

Answer: The salt produced will be K_{2}SO_{4}

Explanation:

During a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base for producing the correspondent salt, and water.

The strong acids release all the protons avalaible when are dissolved, such as sulfuric acid. As you can see, sulfuric acid have 2 protons ready for being released (H_{2}SO_{4}); and those places have to be occcupied for other ions equivalents to the H+: K+ from KOH in this case.

Therefore the answer will be K_{2}SO_{4}.

Use the conversion factor 1 amu = 1.66054× 10–24 g to answer the following questions. a) 1.67 x 10-24 g of neurons is how many (
sergij07 [2.7K]
You can use the mass of neuron divided by the mass of conversion factor: 1.67*10^(-25)/(1.66054*10^(-24))≈1 amu. So the answer is 1 amu.
