Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.

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.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

You need 8,324 g of CaCl₂ yo make this solution

Explanation:

Molarity is a way to express concentration in a solution, in units of moles of solute per liter of solution.

To know the grams of CaCl₂ it is necessary to know, first, the moles of this substance with the desired volume and concentration , thus:

0,1500 L × \frac{0,500 mol}{L} = 0,075 CaCl₂ moles

Now, with the molar mass of CaCl₂ you will obtain the necessary grams, thus:

0,075 CaCl₂ moles  × \frac{110,98 g}{mol} = 8,324 g of CaCl₂

So, you need <em>8,324 g of CaCl₂</em> to make 150,0 mL of a 0,500M solution

I hope it helps!

What cultural differences does Herodotus notice between Greek ways of living and those of Persia and Egypt
Sindrei [870]
<span>The Persian Wars mark an important turning point not only in Greek history but, indeed, in the course of all European civilization. First and foremost, because of its victory Greece was saved from the threat of external rule and could develop on its own. Handed this independence, the Greeks chose to follow a path which forever changed the course of modern life. Without their success in this conflict, they would, no doubt, never have had the liberty, means or conviction to invent, discover or create all they did: not just history but philosophy, science, drama, art, architecture, indeed most of the cornerstones of modern civilization. Another consequence of this victory, less immediate but equally important, was that it prevented the Persians from dominating the lands to the west of Greece—as noted above, it's likely the fertile fields of Italy and Sicily, not the rough dust of Greece, were the real target of Xerxes' imperial designs—and there a tiny settlement called Rome had just begun to sprout, at that moment hardly a dot on the map, but it would later develop into a crucial player in the history of the West. Rome won freedom, too, in the Persian Wars, without ever fielding a single fighter. It's impossible to imagine how vastly different our world would be if Persia had conquered or exterminated the Romans before they'd ever had a chance to grow. Thus, the Greeks laid the groundwork for later Western culture, and Herodotus the foundation for understanding it. If so many of his facts look suspect or even prove incorrect, if he sometimes seems to set speculation and scandal over sober criticism and science, before condemning him we should recall that he founded this entire enterprise called history, a discipline which still bears the name he gave it. His critics should also bear in mind it's only because Herodotus set us on this path that we can even scorn his methods in the first place. To this most uncommon "common man," we owe an enormous collective debt.</span>

How many dm³ of hydrogen,measured at s.t.p.,would be needed to reduce 47.7g of copper(II) oxide to copper?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Option D. 13.44

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 47.7g of copper(II) oxide, CuO.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CuO = 47.7 g

Molar mass of CuO = 63.5 + 16 = 79.5 g/mol

Mole of CuO =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CuO = 47.7/79.5

Mole of CuO = 0.6 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CuO + H2 —> Cu + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CuO reacted with 1 mole of H2 to produce 1 mole of Cu and 1 mole of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2 needed to react completely with 0.6 mole of CuO.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CuO reacted with 1 mole of H2.

Therefore, 0.6 mole of CuO will also react with 0.6 mole of H2.

Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by 0.6 mole of H2 at STP.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of H2 occupied 22.4 dm³ at STP.

Therefore, 0.6 mole of H2 will occupy = 0.6 × 22.4 = 13.44 dm³.

Therefore, 13.44 dm³ of H2 is needed for the reaction.
