Answer:

B. Electrical charges of polar covalent bonds

Explanation:

Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot diagrams are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and lone pairs of an electron that may exist in the molecule.

Polar covalent bonds are bonds that occur where a pair of electrons is shared unevenly between two atoms

The Lewis notation as an agreed convection, uses the delta sign to indicate polar covalent bonds when they occur in compounds. It shows that the electrons are shared unevenly.

Consider the example attached below. The Lewis structure for HF is given. the δ+ is used to show the electropositive Hydrogen atom while the δ- is used to show the electronegative Fluorine atom in the bond.

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.71 g of ethane is

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction between gaseous ethane and gaseous oxygen. This is given below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Step 2:

Determination of the masses of C2H6 and O2 that reacted and the mass of CO2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Molar Mass of C2H6 = (12x2) + (6x1) = 24 + 6 = 30g/mol

Mass of C2H6 from the balanced equation = 2 x 30 = 60g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 7 x 32 = 224g

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 4 x 44 = 176g

From the balanced equation above,

60g of C2H6 reacted with 224g of O2 to produce 176g of CO2.

Step 3:

Determination of the limiting reactant.

We need to determine the limiting reactant as it will be needed to obtain the maximum mass of CO2.

From the balanced equation above,

60g of C2H6 reacted with 224g of O2.

Therefore, 2.71g of C2H6 will react with = (2.71 x 224)/60 = 10.12g of O2.

From the above calculation, we can see that a higher mass of O2 is needed to react with 2.71g of C2H6, therefore, O2 is the limiting reactant.

Step 4:

Determination of the maximum mass of CO2 produced when 2.71 g of ethane is mixed with 7.6 g of oxygen.

The limiting reactant is used to determine the maximum mass.

From the balanced equation above,

224g of O2 produce 176g of CO2.

Therefore, 7.6g of O2 will produce = (7.6 x 176)/224 = 5.97g ≈ 6g of CO2

From the calculations made above, the maximum mass of CO2 produced is 5.97 ≈ 6g

Calculate the energy in joules and calories required to heat 25.0 g of water from 12.5C to 25.7C

Alex Ar [27]

The heat (Q) required to raise the temp of a substance is:Q=m∗Cp∗ΔT where m is the mass of the object (25.0g in this case), Cp is the specific heat capacity of the substance (for water Cp = 1.00cal/gC, or 4.18J/gC,
and Dt is the change in temp.
You'll have to solve this twice, once with the Cp in calories, and once with the Cp in joules.
1380.72 Joules
