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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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 />

When CO2 and H2O react to form H2CO3, the number of bonds broken in H2O is ____ and in CO2 is _____. one; one
guapka [62]

CO2 and H2O react to form H2CO3 and two bonds are broken each in CO and H2O to form H2CO3.

<h3>What is chemical bonding?</h3>

Chemical bonding refers to the forces of attraction which hold atoms of the same or different elements together in order to form stable compounds or molecules .

Chemical bonding may be either ionic or covalent.

The greater the number of bonds in a compound, the more stable the compound.

During chemical reactions, bonds are broken and new binds are formed.

There are two bonds each in CO2 and H2O.

This, in the reaction between CO2 and H2O react to form H2CO3, , the number of bonds broken in H2O is two and in CO2 is two.

In the reaction C + O2 → CO2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. What mass of oxygen would be n
artcher [175]
Stoichiomety:

1 moles of C + 1 mol of O2 = 1 mol of CO2

multiply each # of moles times the atomic molar mass of the compund to find the relation is weights

Atomic or molar weights:

C: 12 g/mol
O2: 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol
CO2 = 12 g/mol + 2* 16 g/mol = 44 g/mol

Stoichiometry:

12 g of C react with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2

Then 18 g of C will react with: 18 * 32/ 12 g of Oxygen = 48 g of Oxygen

And the result will be 12 g of C + 48 g of O2 = 60 g of CO2.

You cannot obtain 72 g of CO2 from 18 g of C.

May be they just pretended that you use the law of consrvation of mass and say that you need 72 g - 18g = 54 g. But it violates the proportion of C and O2 in the CO2 and is not possible.

34 atoms of carbon react with 22 molecules of hydrogen gas. How many molecules of methane will be formed &amp; what will be left
pychu [463]
Each carbon atom will react with 4 hydrogen atoms to form methane (C H_{4}) Since there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen molecule (H_{2}) then each carbon atom will react with 2 hydrogen molecules. Since there are 22 hydrogen molecules half as many methane molecules will be formed, so 11. Then we can subtract 11 from 34 to find the number of carbon atoms left over.

So in summary, 11 methane molecules will be formed and there will be 23 carbon atoms left over.
