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

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 />

For each equation , write all possible mole ratios . A. 2HgO(s)&gt;2Hg(l)+O2(g) B. 4NH3(g)+6NO(g)&gt;5N2(g)+6H2O(l)
Dafna11 [192]

A) For balanced chemical equation: 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g).

1) Mole ratio 1: n(HgO) : n(Hg) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

2) Mole ratio 2: n(HgO) : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.

3) Mole ratio 3: n(Hg) : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.

B) Balanced chemical equation: 4NH₃(g) + 6NO(g) → 5N₂(g) + 6H₂O(l).

1) Mole ratio 1: n(NH₃) : n(NO) = 4 : 6 (2 : 3).

2) Mole ratio 2: n(NH₃) : n(N₂) = 4 : 5.

3) Mole ratio 3: n(NH₃) : n(H₂O) = 4 : 6 (2 : 3).

4) Mole ratio 4: n(NO) : n(N₂) = 6 : 5.

5) Mole ratio 5: n(NO) : n(H₂O) = 6 : 6 (1 :1).

6) Mole ratio 6: n(N₂) : n(H₂O) = 5 : 6.

You placed 6.35 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and MgO(s) in a 3.50-L flask containing CO₂(g) at 30.0°C and
adelina 88 [10]

Mass of BaO in  initial mixture = 3.50g

Explanation:

Let mass of BaO in mixture be x g

mass of MgO in mixture be (6.35 - x) g

Initially CO_2

Volume = 3.50 L

Temp = 303 K

Pressure = 750 torr = 750 / 760 atm

Applying ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

(n)_CO_2 = ((750/760)* 3.50) / 0.0821 * 303

(n)_CO_2 = 0.139 mole

Finally; mole of CO_2

n= PV /RT

((245/760) *3.5) / 303* 0.0821

(n)_CO_2 = 0.045 mole

Mole of CO_2 reacted = 0.139 - 0.045

=0.044 mole

BaO + CO_2  BaCO_3

Mgo + CO_2  MgCO_3

moles of CO_2 reacted = ( moles of BaO + moles of MgO)

moles of BaO in mixture = x / 153 mole

moles of MgO in mixture = 6.35 - x mole / 40

Equating,

x/ 153 +6.35/40 = 0.094

= x/153 + 6.35 / 40 - x/40 =0.094

= x (1/40 - 1153) = (6.35/40 - 0.094)

= x * 10.018464

= 0.06475

mass of BaO in mixture = 3.50g
