Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

An 11.75 g sample of a common hydrate of cobalt(ii) chloride is heated. after heating, 9.25 g of anhydrous cobalt chloride remai

Irina-Kira [14]

Hydrated salts are when salt crystals have water molecules bound. Anhydrous salts are when the water has been removed.
mass of water removed = hydrated salt - anhydrate salt
= 11.75 g - 9.25 g = 2.50 g
number of water moles = 2.50 g / 18 g/mol = 0.139 mol
number of cobalt (II) chloride moles = 9.25 g / 130 g/mol = 0.0712 mol
ratio of water moles to CoCl₂ moles - 0.139 mol / 0.0712 mol = 1.95
rounded off 2 moles of water for every 1 mol of CoCl₂
formula - CoCl₂.2H₂O
name - Cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate

An economical substitute for vitreous silica is a high-silica glass made by leaching the B2O3-rich phase from a two-phase borosi

stich3 [128]

Answer:48kg of SiO2, 0.5kg of Al2O3, and 1.5kg of B2O3

Will be the final product

Explanation:

I) 96wt% of SiO2 will amount to 96/100*50 = 0.96*50=48kg of SiO2

ii) 1wt% of Al2O3 will amount to 1/100*50 = 0.01*50=0.5kg of Al2O3

III) 3wt% of B2O3 will amount to 3/100*50 = 0.03*50=1.5kg of B2O3..

The overall product form 48+ 0.5+1.5= 50kg
