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.

The critical point of carbon dioxide is 304 k and 73 atm. under which conditions is carbon dioxide a liquid? i. 303 k and 73 atm

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer is: a) I only.
Above critical temperature of CO₂, a gas cannot be liquefied no matter how much pressure is applied. Temperature and pressure above its critical point is called supercritical fluid and this is <span>intermediate between gaseous and liquid states.</span>

larisa [96]

Answer:

Chemical reactions involve breaking chemical bonds between reactant molecules (particles) and forming new bonds between atoms in product particles (molecules). The number of atoms before and after the chemical change is the same but the number of molecules will change.

The density of solid Cr is 7.15 g/cm3. How many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of Cr?

Masja [62]

To calculate the number of atoms of Cr, we first find the number of moles per unit of cubic centimeter of Cr. Then, use avogadros number for the number of atoms. Calculations are as follows:

1 cm^3 (7.15 g/cm^3) (1 mol / 51.996 g Cr) = 0.14 mol Cr

0.14 mol Cr ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms Cr / 1 mol Cr ) = 8.28 x 10^22 atoms Cr

How many grams are in 3.14 moles of PI₃?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1290 \ g \ PI_3}}$

Explanation:

We want to convert from moles to grams, so we must use the molar mass.

<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>

The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

We are given the compound PI₃ or phosphorus triiodide. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

Phosphorus (P): 30.973762 g/mol
Iodine (I): 126.9045 g/mol

Note that there is a subscript of 3 after the I in the formula. This means there are 3 moles of iodine in 1 mole of the compound PI₃. We should multiply iodine's molar mass by 3, then add phosphorus's molar mass.
