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 />

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

1.1 × 10² g

Explanation:

First, we will convert 1.0 L to cubic centimeters.

1.0 L × (10³ mL/1 L) × (1 cm³/ 1 mL) = 1.0 × 10³ cm³

The density of water is 1.0 g/cm³. The mass corresponding to 1.0 × 10³ cm³ is:

1.0 × 10³ cm³ × (1.0 g/cm³) = 1.0 × 10³ g

1 mole of water (H₂O) has a mass of 18 g, consisting of 2 g of H and 16 g of O. The mass of Hydrogen in 1.0 × 10³ g of water is:

1.0 × 10³ g H₂O × (2 g H/18 g H₂O) = 1.1 × 10² g

Which of the following is not a physical property?
kozerog [31]

Answer: Reactivity is not a physical property, it is a chemical property.

Explanation:

Physical property is a value of matter that can be observed and measured without any change in composition of the matter. Examples of physical properties are color, combustion,melting point,boiling point,solubility, texture, appearance, polarity, odor,viscosity, density and many more.

Chemical properties are characteristics that are obvious or seen when substances undergo chemical reaction. Examples are reactivity,toxicity, acidity, flammability, and heat combustion.
