How many electrons does carbon lack in its outer shell? biochemistry

Chemistry

tekilochka [14]3 years ago
7 0
A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />

What is the volume of 1.56 kg of a compound whose molar mass is 81.86 g/mole and whose density is 41.2 g/ml?
hjlf

Answer:

v = 37.9 ml

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of compound = 1.56 kg

Density = 41.2 g/ml

Volume of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the mass into g.

1.56 ×1000 = 1560 g

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

v = m/d

v =  1560 g / 41.2 g/ml

v = 37.9 ml

When sodium carbonate is dissolved in water, the equation is Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq).

When carbon dioxide is placed in water, aqueous carbon dioxide is formed:  CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)

<h3>Dissolution of compounds in water</h3>

Some compounds are water-soluble, some are just partially soluble, while others are insoluble in water. Some soluble or partially soluble substances dissociate in water into their component ions. These substances are said to be ionic.

Sodium carbonate, like every other sodium salt, is soluble in water. It dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.

While in solution, sodium carbonate dissociates into its component ions according to the following equation:

Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq)

Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, does not dissociate in water. Instead, it dissolves in water where most of it remains as aqueous carbon dioxide in equilibrium with a small amount of hydronium ion and hydrogen carbonate ion.

Since the hydronium and hydrogen carbonate ions formed are so minute, the equation of the reaction can be written as: CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)

Which of these compounds would you expect to be most soluble in water? ch3ch2cl ch3ch2ch2ch3 ch3ch2ch2f ch3ch2ch2oh?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer : The compound that would be most soluble in water is CH3CH2CH2OH

Explanation :

Water is a polar solvent and can dissolve polar molecules. This is based on the principle "Like dissolves like".

Among the given molecules, CH3CH2CH2CH3 is a hydrocarbon known as butane. All hydrocarbons are non polar. Therefore this compound will not be soluble in water.

The remaining compounds are polar, but Ch3CH2CH2OH shows greater solubility in water owing to presence of hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that gets formed when a compound has hydrogen atom directly attached to highly electro-negative N, F or O atom.

When CH3CH2CH2OH is dissolved in water, it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Due to this hydrogen bonding, the molecule shows greater solubility.

Therefore CH3CH2CH2OH is the most soluble compound in water
