Answer:

Lewis Structure:

Explanation:

CO2 Lewis Structure

So CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16. So, total valence electrons are 16. Carbon is the least electronegative that means it stays at the center. So, put the Carbon in the middle and then set the oxygen either side of that.

Explanation:

Many tests to distinguish aldehydes and ketones involve the addition of an oxidant. Only aldehydes can be easily oxidized because there is a hydrogen atom next to the carbonyl and oxidation does not require oxygen

When copper is heated with an excess of sulfur, copper(I) sulfide is formed. In a given experiment, 0.0970 moles of copper was h

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Percent yield = 22.8 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Numbers of moles copper = 0.0970 moles

Mass of copper(I) sulfide = 1.76 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Cu + S ⇒ Cu2S

Step 3: Calculate moles of Cu2S

For 2 moles Cu we need 1 mol S to produce 1 mol Cu2S

For 0.0970 moles Cu we'll hace 0.0970 / 2 = 0.0485 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass of Cu2S

Mass Cu2s = moles Cu2S * molar mass Cu2S

Mass Cu2S = 0.0485 moles * 159.16 g/mol

Mass Cu2S = 7.72 grams

Step 5: Calculate percent yield

Percent yield = (actual yield/ theoretical mass) * 100%

Percent yield = (1.76 grams / 7.72 grams)*100%

Percent yield = 22.8 %
