I believe methane has a covalent bond because electrons in this compound is being shared. <span>Carbon atoms create 4 covalent bonds to form organic compounds. Carbon atoms can share electrons or form covalent bonds with other atoms in this case with hydrogen. </span>

Covalent.

Ionic Bond = Two atoms at which one of them are positive, one of them are negative. Whoever is more reactive will steal the electron and keep it, and they will form a bond. Most likely will be a metal ion (+Ve) and a non-metal ion (-ve).

Covalent = Non-metal bond to non-metal. They share electrons.

Although Hydrogen is positively charged, they are "technically" sharing electron, hence is covalent

Hi!

To convert grams to moles, you need to divide the amount (grams) of your substance by its molar mass, both of which are given to you.

28 g CaO / 58.08 g/mol CaO = 0.4820936639 moles of CaO
(And 28 contains two significant digits, so you will round this to 0.48 moles.)

Good luck!

3 Cu + 8HNO3 g 3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2 NO + 4 H2O

Ksivusya [100]

Considering the reaction stoichiometry, the amount of moles of NO that is produced when 27 moles of HNO₃ react is 6.75 moles.

<h3 /><h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

The balanced reaction is:

3 Cu + 8 HNO₃ → 3 Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO + 4 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Cu: 3 moles
HNO₃: 8 moles
Cu(NO₃)₂: 3 moles
NO: 2 moles
H₂O: 4 moles

<h3>Amount of moles of NO produced</h3>

It is possible to determine the the amount of moles of NO produced by a rule of three: if by stoichiometry 8 moles of HNO₃ produce 2 moles of NO, if 27 moles of HNO₃ react how many moles of NO will be formed?

$amount of moles of NO=\frac{27 moles of HNO_{3} x 2 moles of NO}{8 moles of HNO_{3}}$
