Answer: The correct answer is Option 2.

Explanation:

When carbon burns in the presence of oxygen, it produces a gas known as carbon dioxide.

To write a chemical equation, we must follow some of the rules:

The reactants are written on the left side of the direction arrow.
A '+' sign is written between the reactants, if more than one reactant is present.
An arrow is added after all the reactants are written.
The products are written on the right side of the direction arrow.
A '+' sign is written between the products, if more than one reactant is present.

Here, carbon and oxygen are the reactants and carbon dioxide is the product.

Thus, the chemical equation representing this reaction follows:

$\text{Carbon}+\text{Oxygen}\rightarrow \text{Carbon dioxide}$

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Which statement best describes why carbon can form a wide variety of organic compounds?

marishachu [46]

Carbon can form a wide variety of organic compounds because:

Each carbon atom covalently bonds with toms of carbon, hydrogen oxygen, and nitrogen

A carbon atom can have 4 single valence electrons around it. This allows it to form covalent bonds with many different atoms.

Which choice can be a solid, liquid, or a gas?

Katena32 [7]

I believe that your option C would be the correct answer. We know that water can turn to a solid materail because during cold temperatures, water turns to ice.

We know that water can turn to gas, as water can evaporate.

And also, we know that water is obviosly a liquid.

Therefore, Option C would be your answer.

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.

max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

Solution:

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

$\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}$

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

$\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11$

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?

saw5 [17]

Answer:
There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.
