Chemistry

Answer:

With an atomic number of 6 (six electrons and six protons), the first two electrons fill the inner shell, leaving four in the second shell. Therefore, carbon atoms can form four covalent bonds with other atoms to satisfy the octet rule.

How much heat, in joules and in calories, must be added to a 75.0Â–g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 j/g Â°c to increas

lianna [129]

Answer:

$Q=50,849.25J\\\\Q=12,153.3cal$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given the mass, temperature change and specific heat, it is possible to compute the required heat in joules as shown below:

$Q=mC(T_2-T_1)\\\\Q=75.0g*0.449\frac{J}{g\°C}(1535\°C-25\°C)\\\\Q=50,849.25J$

Now, since 1 cal =4.184 J, this result in calories is:

$Q=50,849.25J*\frac{1cal}{4.184J}\\\\Q=12,153.3cal$

Best regards!

When metal atoms combine chemically with atoms of other elements, what do they usually do?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Maybe I know too much chemistry but how the metals (and the non-metals) react depends on where they are in the Periodic Table. The metals in groups I and II over on the far left side are explosively reactive and loose electrons and form ionic bonds. Examples: Na+1 has lost 1 electron and Li+2 has lost 2 electrons. The metals in the higher groups are more confusing but most of them share outer shell electrons and form covalent bonds. Examples: Fe2O3 (rust) where Iron shares 2X3 electrons with Oxygen which shares 3X2 electrons. Confused enough? :-)

The answer you'll be expected to give depends on the subject of the chapter you're studying. If you're studying covalent bonds, then the answer will probably be "form covalent bonds". If you're studying ionic bonds, then the answer will be "lose electrons".

This may not be the answer... I'm sorry if it's not

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The answer is " $42537.93 \ C$ ".

Explanation:

Molar mass : $Z_n = 65.38 \ \frac{g}{mol}\\\\$

$\to Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-} = Zn\\\\$

$\therefore\\\\ \to 65.38 \ g \ of\ Z_n \ require: \\\\ \to 2 \times 96500\ C\\\\\to 14.41 \ g\ require,\\\\ \to \frac{(14.41 \times 2 \times 96500)}{65.38} \ \frac{g}{mol} = 42537.93 \ C$

What happens when two or more atoms react?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Atoms bond to form molecules: Two or more atoms may bond with each other to form a molecule. When two hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons via covalent bonds, a water molecule is formed.
