Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

How many moles of Cl2 will produce 0.35 miles of NaCl when reacted with excess Na?
weeeeeb [17]
This question is based in mole ratios. for every mole of cl2, 2 moles of NaCl will be produced. so half of the moles of NaCl gives the moles of Cl2 required. therefore divide 0.35 by 2

PLEASE HELP!!!<br><br> What is the mass of one lead atom in amu?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: 207.2

Explanation:

In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass. This is approximately 1.67377 x 10 -27 kilogram (kg), or 1.67377 x 10 -24 gram (g). The mass of an atom in AMU is roughly equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
