When two carbon atoms are joined by a double bond, how many electron pairs are shared between the two carbons

Chemistry

Answer:

Two (2) electron pairs

Explanation:

The sharing of electron pairs by atoms forms a type of bond called COVALENT bond. Atoms that form covalent bonding (share electrons) do so in order to fill their outermost electron shells, hence, gain chemical stability.

However, when two atoms like carbon share TWO PAIRS of electrons with each other, a DOUBLE BOND is formed. An example is the double bond formed in Ethylene (2HC=CH2). A total of four valence electrons (a pair from each carbon) are shared between the two carbon atoms.

What are scientific models used for? Give an example of each of the follwoing types of models: idea, physical, computer

leva [86]

Answer:

Scientific models are used to explain phenomena that can not be experience directly and it is also used for prediction.

Explanation:

An example of idea model is the Eistein equation. An idea model shows how things interact together to produce a particular result.

An example of physical model is the solar system.

Computer model is used to predict long term events and an example of this is computer simulations.

What are these associated with the solar wind

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. ... Its particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy resulting from the high temperature of the corona, which in turn is a result of the coronal magnetic field.

When .080 moles of propane burn at STP, what volume of carbon dioxide is produced?

ahrayia [7]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry and the definition of STP, 5.4 L of carbon dioxide is produced.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole
O₂: 5 moles
CO₂: 3 moles
H₂O: 4 moles

<h3>Moles of CO₂ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ form 3 moles of CO₂, 0.080 moles of C₃H₈ form how many moles of CO₂?

$amount of moles of CO_{2} =\frac{0.080 moles of C_{3} H_{8}x3 moles of CO_{2} }{1 mole of C_{3} H_{8} }$

<u><em>amount of moles of CO₂= 0.24 moles</em></u>

<h3>Definition of STP condition</h3>

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.

<h3>Volume of CO₂ produced</h3>

You can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of STP 1 mole of CO₂ occupies 22.4 L, 0.24 moles of CO₂ how much volume does it occupy?

$volume of CO_{2} =\frac{0.24 molesx22.4 L}{1 mole}$

<u><em>volume of CO₂= 5.376 L ≅ 5.4 L</em></u>

Finally, 5.4 L of carbon dioxide is produced.

If a chemist has a stock solution of HBr that is 10.0 M and would like to make 450.0 mL of 3.0 M HBr, how would he do it?

asambeis [7]

This is a dilution that requires a certain volume from the stock solution to be diluted with distilled water to make a solution of HBr with a lesser concentration than the stock solution

Following dilution formula can be used

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is the volume of the stock solution

c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

Substituting these values

10.0 M x v1 = 3.0 x 450.0 mL

v1 = 135.0 mL

A volume of 135.0 mL from HBr stock solution needs to be taken and diluted with distilled water upto 450.0 mL. The resulting solution will have a concentration of 3.0 M
