Mass number is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in a nucleus of an atom

why is it much easier for group 14 elements to become stable by sharing instead of transferring electrons9

Effectus [21]

Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.

Answer:

1-1) NaHCO3 + CH3COOH --> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

1-2) 0.5 mole of CO2

2-1) 2C4H10 + 13O2 --> 8CO2 + 10H2O

2-2) 4 mol CO2

Explanation:

Question 1

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH --> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

To balance the equation, count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation

(1 Na, 1+3+1H, 1+1+1C, 3+2Oxygen) --> (1 Na, 1+1+1C, 3+2H, 2+1+2Oxygen)

Combining the pluses will give you the following

(1 Na, 5H, 3C, 5Oxygen) --> (1 Na, 3C, 5H, 5Oxygen)

Both sides are the same, therefore the chemical equation is balanced (originally).

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of NaHCO3 produces 1 mole of CO2.

So that means 0.5 mole of NaHCO3 would produce 0.5 mole of CO2.

Question 2

C4H10 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

Again, count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation

(4C, 10H, 2O) --> (1C, 2H, 3O) This time left does not equal right side

You now need to find factors that can make both sides equal.

C4H10 + O2 --> 4CO2 + H2O Now the C is balanced, let's recount 

(4C, 10H, 2Oxygen) --> (4C, 8+1Oxygen, 2H) H&O is still not balanced

C4H10 + O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O Now the H is balanced, let's recount

(4C, 10H, 2Oxygen) --> (4C, 8+5Oxygen, 10H) O is still not balanced

C4H10 + (13/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O Now the O is balanced

(4C, 10H, 13Oxygen) --> (4C, 13Oxygen, 10H)

But because 13/2 is a fraction, we want to eliminate that by multiplying every reactant and product by 2 (the denominator).

2C4H10 + 13O2 --> 8CO2 + 10H2O Now it's completely balanced!

(8C, 20H, 28Oxygen) --> (8C, 28Oxygen, 20H) Yayy! It's balanced.

Now, 2 mol C4H10 produces 8 mol CO2.

So 1 mol C4H10 produces 4 mol CO2.

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The smallest constituent of an element is termed as an atom. According to Jaiden, an atom comprises two subatomic particles and three prime parts, however, this is incorrect as an atom comprises three subatomic particles and two main parts. The three subatomic particles are the protons, electrons, and neutrons. All these parts are smaller in comparison to an atom, thus, they are considered as subatomic particles.

To be considered as an atom, an atom is needed only electrons and neutrons, like hydrogen exhibit one electron and one proton. On the other hand, the overall charge of the atom is not affected by the presence of neutrons, it is the subatomic particle that only enhances the mass of the atom.
