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.

How can I identify a salt compound is acidic,basic,neutral​
Luden [163]

Salts that are from strong bases and strong acids do not hydrolyze. Salts that are from strong bases and weak acids do hydrolyze, which gives it a pH greater than 7.  Salts of weak bases and strong acids do hydrolyze, which gives it a pH less than 7.

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction 3H2 + N2&lt;-----&gt;2NH3. In this reaction, the product absorbs heat. WHICH WAY WILL
AURORKA [14]

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction,the reaction shifts forward.

The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased,then the equilibrium will shift to decrease the temperature.

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is decreased,then the equilibrium will shift to increase the temperature.

During the formation of the ammonia,it gives off heat.So it is an exothermic reaction.

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

A decrease in the temperature favors the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction)because it produces energy.Therefore,if the temperature is decreased,the yield of the ammonia increases.

<em>Therefore if the temperature is increased,the reaction shifts forward and the yield of the ammonia increases and it is an exothermic reaction.</em>

Labels of many food products have expiration dates, at which point they are typically removed from the supermarket shelves. A pa
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since it first order, we use order rate equation

In ( \frac{A1}{A0}) = -kt where A1 is the final quality = 0.8 (80%), A0 is the initial quality = 1 ( 100%)

also, t half life = \frac{In2}{k} where k is rate constant

k = \frac{In 2}{45 days} = 0.0154

In ( \frac{0.8}{1}) = - 0.0154 t

-0.223 / -0.0154 = t

t = 14.49 approx 14.5 days from the date the yogurt was packaged

What is the maximum amount of CO2
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

10.6 g CO₂

Explanation:

You have not been given a limiting reagent. Therefore, to find the maximum amount of CO₂, you need to convert the masses of both reactants to CO₂. The smaller amount of CO₂ produced will be the accurate amount. This is because that amount is all the corresponding reactant can produce before it runs out.

To find the mass of CO₂, you need to (1) convert grams C₂H₂/O₂ to moles (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles C₂H₂/O₂ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams (via molar mass). *I had to guess the chemical reaction because the reaction coefficients are necessary in calculating the mass of CO₂.*

C₂H₂ + O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + H₂

9.31 g C₂H₂            1 mole               2 moles CO₂          44.0095 g
------------------  x  -------------------  x  ----------------------  x  -------------------  =
                            26.0373 g           1 mole C₂H₂              1 mole

=  31.5 g CO₂

3.8 g O₂             1 mole               2 moles CO₂          44.0095 g
-------------  x  --------------------  x  ----------------------  x  --------------------  =
                       31.9988 g              1 mole O₂                 1 mole

=  10.6 g CO₂

10.6 g CO₂ is the maximum amount of CO₂ that can be produced. In other words, the entire 3.8 g O₂ will be used up in the reaction before all of the 9.31 g C₂H₂ will be used.
