Answer : The correct option is, (3) 3

Explanation :

The given molecule is, Ethyne

As we know that ethyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which contains triple bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms.

In unsaturated compounds, there are less number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atoms.

The formula of ethyne molecule is, $C_2H_2$ . In this molecule, there are triple bond is present between the two carbon atoms that means there are 3 pair of electrons present between the two carbon atoms.

Hence, there are 3 number of electron pairs that are shared between the two carbon atoms in a molecule of ethyne.

The structure of ethyne are shown below.

In sodium chloride, which atom loses an electron?

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Option B. Sodium

Explanation:

In the formation of NaCl, sodium loses and electron while chlorine receives the electron as illustrated below:

Na —> Na+ + e- ....... (1)

Cl + e- —> Cl- ......... (2)

Now, combining equation 1 and 2 we have:

Na + Cl + e- —> Na+ + Cl- + e-

Cancelling the electron from both side, we obtained:

Na + Cl —> Na+Cl-

From the above illustration, we see clearly that sodium loses electron

Iron is extracted from fe 2o 3 by a reaction with carbon (c) at very high temperature. if you take 2.86 x 10 4 g of fe 2o 3 to r

umka21 [38]

Balanced equation:
2 Fe₂O₃ + 3 C → 4 Fe + 3 CO₂
number of moles of Fe₂O₃ = weight (g) / molar mass = (2.86 x 10⁴ g) / 159.69 g/mol = 179 moles
number of moles of C = (9.05 x 10³) / 12 = 754.16 moles
2 moles of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of C
so 179 moles of Fe₂O₃ need 268.5 moles of C only
so carbon present in excess (754.16) and Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reactant so the number of moles used from Fe₂O₃ will be all the 179 moles
