Give the number of covalent bonds that a carbon atom can form.

Answer:

four covalent bonds

Explanation:

A carbon atom would form 4 covalent bonds.

For a covalent bond to be formed, an atom would share its valence electrons with another. In this process, each atom would require unpaired electrons for this bond to be formed. The number of available unpaired electrons would represent the number of electrons needed to complete the outer energy level of the atom.

In a carbon atom, we have no lone pair of electrons and 4 unpaired electrons. When these 4 electrons are shared with those of other atoms, they produce a complete octet which perfectly mimics the noble gases.

A hydrogen filled balloon has a bolume of 8.3 L at 36 C and 751 torr. How many moles of hydrogen are inside the balloon?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

0.33 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of balloon = 8.3 L

Temperature = 36°C

Pressure = 751 torr

Number of moles of hydrogen = ?

Solution:

Temperature = 36°C (27 +273 = 300 K)

Pressure = 751 torr (751/760= 0.988 atm)

Formula:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

PV  = nRT

0.988 atm × 8.3 L  = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 300 K

8.2 atm.L = n × 24.63 atm.L/ mol

n = 8.2 atm.L / 24.63 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.33 mol

How does a longshore current change the beach
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

As this sheet of water moves on and off the beach, it can “capture” and transport beach sediment back out to sea. This process, known as “longshore drift,” can cause significant beach erosion.

Which subatomic particle accounts for magnetism ?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges. Spinning like tops, the electrons circle the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet
