Which is the correct lewis structure for ethylene, c2h4?

Chemistry

Remember this, when trying to find a valid lewis structure, every single atom must have a total of 8 shared electrons (full octet). Since I only have 4 hydrogens to work with, two on each carbon, I assumed a double bond in the middle. This way, every atom has a full octet, except for hydrogen which is most stable with just two electrons. If there were just a single bond in between the carbons, each carbon would only have a total of 6 shared electrons which violates the octet rule. So a double bond is a must. This is ethylene by the way.

How much volume (in cm^3)is gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of our fat? Human fat has a density of 0.918 g/cm^3

Zinaida [17]

The volume (in cm³) gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of fat is 5830.49 cm³

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to convert pounds to grams </h3>

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

11.8 lb = 11.8 × 453.592

11.8 lb = 5352.3856 g

<h3>How to determine the volume </h3>

Mass = 5352.3856 g
Density = 0.918 g/cm³
Volume =?

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 5352.3856 / 0.918

Volume = 5830.49 cm³

Many tests to distinguish aldehydes and ketones involve the addition of an oxidant. Only __________ can be easily oxidized becau

tatiyna

Answer:

Aldehydes
A hydrogen atom
Oxygen

Explanation:

Many tests to distinguish aldehydes and ketones involve the addition of an oxidant. Only <u>aldehydes</u> can be easily oxidized because there is<u> a hydrogen atom</u> next to the carbonyl and oxidation does not require<u> oxygen </u>

The oxidation of Cu₂O(s) to CuO(s) is an exothermic process:

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

w = 7376.6 J

Explanation:

To calculate the work done in the system, we need first to calculate the number of moles of all compounds.

The following expression, that comes from the 1° law of thermodynamic, will help you to get the work:

w = ΔnRT

Where:

Δn: difference in the number of moles between products and reactants

R: constant universal of gases (8.314 J / mol K)

T: Temperature in Kelvin.

As we are doing this reaction in STP, then the Pressure is 1 atm, and temperature is 0 °C or 273 K.

Now, we already have the moles of Cu₂O, let's see, according to the balanced reaction, how many moles we should have of O₂ and CuO.

If 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of Cu₂O then 6.5 moles of Cu₂O will be:

moles O₂ = 6.5 moles Cu₂O * (1 mole O₂/2 moles Cu₂O) = 3.25 moles O₂

If 2 moles of Cu₂O produces 4 moles of CuO, then 6.5 moles will be:

moles CuO = 6.5 moles Cu₂O*(4 moles CuO/2 moles Cu₂O) = 13 moles CuO

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the value of Δn.

Δn = moles product - moles reactants

Δn = 13 - (6.5 + 3.25) = 3.25 moles

Now, we can calculate the work done in the system:

w = 3.25 * (8.314 * 273)

Hope this helps

A sodium atom and sodium ion have the same

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) number of neutrons

<u>Explanation:</u>

A sodium ion is formed when an electron is removed from a sodium atom. This means that the atom's number of electrons changes, but the number of neutrons remains unchanged.

However, as the number of electrons changes, the electric charge and the electronic structure change, which means that a sodium atom and a sodium ion do not have the same number of electrons, nor do they have the same electric charge or electronic structure.

Therefore, option a) is the correct option.
