Answer:

Carbon monoxide is not breathable.

Explanation:

If you breath in Carbon monoxide you'll first pass out from the lack of Oxygen. If Oxygen does not reach your lungs in time death will occur from suffocation.

What is the shape of graphite

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The molecular formula lists the symbol of each element within the compound followed by a number (usually in subscript). The letter and number indicate how many of each type of element are in the compound. If there is only one atom of a particular element, then no number is written after the element.

Is MgS ionic or covalent

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Mg has 2 electron in it's outermost orbit, by donating this two electron to Sulfur it get stable mg 2+ electronic configuration while sulfur has 6 electron in it's outermost shell ,so sulfur accept this 2 electron and complete it's octet and become s2–.

Plz answer thx How many moles are in 2.5 x 10^18 grams of water?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$1.39\times 10^{17}$ moles of water in $2.5\times 10^{18} g$ of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = $m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g$

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = $\frac{m}{M}$

$n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles$

So, there are $1.39\times 10^{17}$ moles of water in $2.5\times 10^{18} g$ of water.

How do you balance a chemical equation

Dominik [7]

There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products

Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction

Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products

You can balance,

1)by just looking at it

2)by Algebraic method given above or

3)by the redox method

You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have 8 electrons (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have 4 valence electrons, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an additional carbon. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have more area of interaction for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give more energy to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!
