Carbon has 4 valence electrons, oxygen has 6
Aliun [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons

Explanation:

The valence electrons are those found in the last energy level of the atom.

They are responsible for the interaction between atoms,

they can form bonds.

Let's see the <em>electronic configuration</em> of carbon.

The atomic number of C is 6 (Z=6)

C= 1S^2 2S^2 2P^2

To know the number of valence electrons that we have we count in the last energy level of the atom.

The last energy level of carbon is 2 and we 4 electrons is this level.

So carbon has 4 valence electrons.

What mass of sodium sulfate is needed to make 2.5 L of 2.0 M solution?
Serjik [45]
D) 710 g

Step by Step:
Multiply 2.5 L by 2.0 M to solve for moles
2 mol/L • 2.5 L= 5 mol

Find formula weight of sodium sulfate

Na2SO4-142.04 g/mol

Na- 2(22.99)=45.98
S-32.06
O-4(16)=64

Multiply miles by formula weight

5 mole • 142.04 g/mol=710.2 g

A solid rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 grams sank in water. A hollow rubber ball with the same mass floats in water. Explain why
Stells [14]

Answer:

The hollow ball is more buoyant than the solid ball.

Explanation:

The hollow ball will float while the solid ball sinks because the volume of water displaced by the hollow ball is more than that displaced by the solid ball.

An object floats when it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight.  A solid ball is more compact, and hence, does not displace a lot of water when dropped into a bowl full of water. On the other hand, the hollow ball will have a larger curved surface area, since it has no fill. This will make it displace a larger volume of water and hence make it float.

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2
lana [24]
CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 ---->  Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl

using molar masses:-
Theoretical yields:-
63.54 + 2(35.45) g  of CuCl2  produces  2(22.98 + 35.45) g of NaCl
    134.44  g .................................................... 116.86 g
       31.0 g ....................................................31.0 * 116.86 /134.44=26.95g  
 
 So percentage yield is 21.2* 100 / 26.95    =  78.7%  to nearest tenth
