Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A carbon atom is a group 14 element that has atomic number 6. Electronic distribution of carbon atom is 2, 4.

So, there are four valence electrons presents in a carbon atom. In order to attain stability carbon atom needs to be bonded to four electrons of another atom.

A carbon atom usually bonds with another atom by sharing of electrons.

Hence, we can conclude that a carbon atom is able to form covalent bonds with other atoms.

Answer:

B. They can for covalent bonds with other atoms.

Explanation:

Carbon = King of the elements on the periodic table

For its proclivity to form stable covalent bonds with multivalent atoms.

How much heat is absorbed in the complete reaction of 3.00 grams of SiO2 with excess carbon in the reaction SiO2(g) + 3C(s) → Si
defon

Answer:

31.24 kJ

Explanation:

  • SiO₂(g) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)        ΔH° = 624.7 kJ/mol

First we <u>convert 3.00 grams of SiO₂ to moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 3.00 g SiO₂ ÷ 60.08 g/mol = 0.05 mol

Now we <u>calculate the heat absorbed</u>, using the <em>given ΔH°</em>:

If the complete reaction of 1 mol of SiO₂ absorbs 624.7 kJ, then with 0.05 mol:

  • 0.05 mol * 624.7 kJ/mol = 31.24 kJ of heat would be absorbed.
