Why is buckminsterfullerene an allotrope of carbon

Chemistry
1 answer:
sweet-ann [11.9K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Buckminsterfullerence is called an allotrope of carbon because it was discovered during an experiment involving a cluster of beam which uses laser to vapourise  a graphite rod in a helium atmosphere to produce carbon plasmas.a mass sectrometry evidence from the experiment showed that carbon molecules with C60 were forming with a spheroidal geometry.so therefore it was included as an allotrope of carbon.

Answer:

19.278049929737628457607385688801

Explanation:

Volume = L * W * H

Volume = 17.78 * 9.21 * 4.45 = 728.70441

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = 14,048

14,048 / 728.70441 = 19.278049929737628457607385688801

Density = 19.278049929737628457607385688801

Which of the following reactions would be classified as oxidation-reduction? Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Check
erica [24]

Answer:The 1st and 2nd reactions are the example of oxidation -reduction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is basically when a species  loses electrons and  reduction is basically when the species gains  electrons.

A reaction is known as an oxidation -reduction reaction only if  oxidation and reduction simultaneously occur in the reaction. It basically means if a species is getting oxidized in the reaction then the other species present in the system must be reduced in the reaction.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are also known as redox reactions.

In the 1st reaction the oxidation state of Na in reactant is 0 and in products is +1 hence Na is oxidized and the oxidation state of   chlorine is  0 in reactants and  in products is  -1 so chlorine is reduced. Hence Na is oxidized and Cl is reduced so the reaction is a example of oxidation-reduction.

2Na(s)+Cl₂(g)→2NaCl(s)

In the second reaction the oxidation state of Na in reactant is 0 and in products is +1 hence Na is oxidized and the oxidation state of Cu is +1 in reactant and 0 in products so Cu is reduced. Hence Na is oxidized and Cu is reduced so the reaction is an example of oxidation-reduction.

Na(s)+CuCl(aq)→NaCl(aq)+Cu(s)

In the third reaction the oxidation state of Na changes from +1 to +1 and that of Cu also changes from +1 to +1. So there is no change in oxidation state of the species present in reactants and products. Hence this reaction is not an example of oxidation and reduction.
