Using the periodic table and your knowledge of atomic structure. Would Carbon-14 have more, less or the same number of neutrons

as a typical carbon atom? How do you know?
A) The same number of neutrons. All carbon atoms have atomic number 6.
B) The periodic table cannot give you the information needed to answer this question.
C) It has less neutrons. Its mass number is smaller than the one on the periodic table.
D) It has more neutrons. Its mass number is larger than the atomic mass number for carbon.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is an isotope of carbon-12. Atomic mass means the sum of total number of protons and neutrons.

Carbon-14 means the atomic mass is 14, that is, number of protons will be 6 and number of neutrons will be 8.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon-14 has more neutrons. Its mass number is larger than the atomic mass number for carbon.

A gas mixture contains oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. It has a pressure of 250 mmHg. If the pressure of oxygen is 50 mmHg
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the Dalton's law, which explains that the total pressure of a gaseous system equals the sum of the partial pressures of the gases composing, for the gaseous mixture composed by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide it would be possible to write:

P_{tot}=P_{N_2}+P_{O_2}+P_{CO_2}

Now, given the pressure of the system and those of oxygen and nitrogen, we calculate that of carbon dioxide as shown below:

P_{CO_2}=P_{tot}-P_{N_2}-P_{O_2}\\\\P_{CO_2}=250mmHg-50mmHg-175mmHg\\\\P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Best regards!

The expected o-c-h angle in this molecule is degrees. the expected hybridization at the central carbon is
WINSTONCH [101]

Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

  • sp^{3}, four electron domains, as in ethane \text{C}_2\text{H}_6
  • sp^{2}, three electron domains, as in ethene \text{C}_2\text{H}_4
  • sp, two electron domains, as in ethyne \text{C}_2\text{H}_2

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

  • Carbon atoms with a sp^{3} hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately 109.5\textdegree{}
  • Carbon atoms with a sp^{2} hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of 120\textdegree{}
  • Carbon atoms with a sp hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of 180\textdegree{}

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

  • sp^{3} in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
  • sp^{2} in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.
