Answer:

<h2>D) 6</h2>

Explanation:

since,   n = molar mass / empirical formula mass

   Empirical formula mass = Total mass of atoms present in empirical formula

                       CHCl = 12+1+35.5

                                = 48.5

 Given, Molar mass = 290.8 g.

           So,        n = 290.8/48.5

                           = 5.995 , that is approx  6.

        So, Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula

                                           = 6 × CHCl

                                           = C_{6}H_{6}Cl_{6}

       So,   Number of C = 6

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Step 1: O_3\rightarrow O_2+O

Step 2: NO+O\rightarrow NO_2

Overall reaction can be determined  by adding all the reactions of mechanism:

O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2

Reactants in an overall reaction = O_3\& NO

Products in an overall reaction = O_2\& NO_2

According to question , the role of oxygen gas is product.

What is Chemical Bonding?<br>Explain please.​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Chemical bonds are how atoms, and even molecules join together.

Explanation:

There are two main types of primary chemical bonds. While secondary links relate to molecules, primary ties are atom to atom. This answer explains basic primary bonds only.

One must comprehend what a valence shell is before I proceed. The outer electron orbital of an atom is known as the valence shell. Most of the time (except from hydrogen), atoms desire to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, thus they form bonds with other atoms to accomplish this.

<em>All bonds result in a new chemically different molecule. Now, the two types are:</em>

  1. Covalent: When two atoms combine their electrons to fill their valence shells. The atoms are joined together by this "sharing."
  2. Ionic: When one atom <em>transfers</em> an electron to another atom in order to fulfill the valence electron requirement. Because electrons have a negative charge, the atom that <em>produced </em>them gains a positive charge as a result of losing its negative charge. The atom that received the electron therefore acquires a negative charge. Because opposing charges attract, it seems sense that the charged atoms bind as a result.
