How many valence electrons should be used to draw a Lewis structure of methane CH4

Chemistry
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

There are 4 valence electrons in carbon because it is in group 4A of the periodic table. There is 1 valence electron per hydrogen based on its position on the periodic table, but CH4 has 4 hydrogens in it. So 1 times 4 is 4. Add the 4 valence electrons from carbon with the 4 electrons from H4 to get 8.

Which of the following is the largest volume? (B?)
vekshin1
Yeah, it would be B (1.2 x 102 m^3) because the measurement gave it away even though other numbers were higher, however, the measurements for those were smaller in size.

Sodium hydride reacts with excess water to produce aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:NaH (s) H2O (l) → NaOH (aq) H2 (g)A
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

NaH(s)+ H2O (l)=>NaOH(aq)+H2(g)

You want to calculate the mass of NaH, I assume.  Otherwise, the question isn't clear.  It simply says calculate the mass(??)

 

So, calculate the moles of H2 gas that satisfy the conditions of 982 ml at 28ºC and 765 torr.  But you must subtract the vapor pressure of water at 28º to get the actual pressure of the H2 gas.  So, the actual conditions are 982 ml (0.982 L) and 301 K and 765-28 = 737 torr.

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT = (737 torr)(0.982 L)/(62.4 L-torr/Kmol)(301 K)

n = 0.0385 moles H2

 

moles NaH needed = 0.0385 moles H2 x 1 mole NaH/mole H2 = 0.0385 moles NaH required

mass of NaH needed = 0.0385 moles x 24 g/mole = 0.925 g NaH

Brainliest Please :)

At STP, which substance has metallic bonding?
kogti [31]
Silver has metallic bonding.

Silver is a very typical and main metal. The negatively charged electrons distribute themselves throughout the entire piece of metal and form non directional bonds between the positive silver ions, which is metallic bonding, and what silver contributes.
