B) One carbon atom forms a double bond with an oxygen atom and two single bonds with two hydrogen atoms

6 0
Let's eliminate some options.
Option A: quadruple bonds will most likely not occur between two carbon atoms. so option A is out.
Option B: One double bond with oxygen and two single bonds with hydrogen atoms will give all atoms the "noble gas" or "octet" configuration they desire. Option B is true.
Option C: Carbon is most likely not large enough to have more than eight valence electrons (hypervalent), so option C is out.
Option D: One carbon only has four valence electrons to donate, so the same problem exists as in option C, and the carbon atom will not achieve hypervalence. Option D is out.
Therefore, option B is correct.

Which actions increase the strength of an electromagnet? 1-Increase the number of coils and increase the strength of the current
tigry1 [53]

Electromagnet is a type of magnet which is produced by passing electric current through a magnetic material such as iron. Here electric energy is converted to magnetic energy. The magnetic material is coiled with wire through which electric current is passed. Increasing the number of coils and increasing the strength of the current increases the strength of the electromagnet. However, the electromagnet loses its magnetic properties when the current flow is switched off.

(Answer) (1) Increase the number of coils and increase the strength of the current.

Carlos is making phosphorus trichloride using the equation below. He uses 15.5 g of phosphorus and collects 50.9 g of phosphorus
Oxana [17]

Answer : The mass of chlorine reacted with the phosphorus is, 53.25 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of phosphorus.

\text{Moles of phosphorus}=\frac{\text{Mass of phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of phosphorus}}

\text{Moles of phosphorus}=\frac{15.5g}{31g/mol}=0.5mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of Cl_2

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2P+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2PCl_3

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of phosphorous react with 3 moles of Cl_2

So, 0.5 moles of phosphorous react with \frac{3}{2}\times 0.5=0.75 moles of Cl_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of Cl_2

\text{Mass of }Cl_2=\text{Moles of }Cl_2\times \text{Molar mass of }Cl_2

Molar mass of Cl_2 = 71 g/mol

\text{Mass of }Cl_2=0.75mol\times 71g/mol=53.25g

Therefore, the mass of chlorine reacted with the phosphorus is, 53.25 grams.

HSiCl3+H2O=H10Si10O15+HCl
tiny-mole [99]

10 HSiCl3+ 15 H2O→H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl

Explanation:

Step 1: To make Si equal on both sides. put 10 in front of HSiCl3

10 HSiCl3+ H2O →H10Si10O15+ HCl

Step 2: By putting 30 in front of HCl, Cl can be balanced

10 HSiCl3+ H2O →H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl

Step 3: Now, balance O by putting 15 in front of H2O

10 HSiCl3+ 15 H2O→H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl

Hence the balanced equation is:

10 HSiCl3+ 15 H2O→H10Si10O15+ 30 HCl

How many oxygen atoms are contained in 2.74 g of Al2(SO4)3?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

5.79 × 10^23 Oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Number of Oxygen atom in the compound = 4×3 = 12

Molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 342 g/mol.

No of mole = mass/molar mass = 2.74/342 = 8.01×10^-03 mole

2.74g of Al2(SO4)3 × 1 mole of Al2 (SO4)3 / 342g of Al2 (SO4)3 * 12 mole of Oxygen/ 1mole of Al(SO4)3 * 6.02×10^23 Oxygen atom/ 1 mole of Oxygen

= 5.79×10^23 Oxygen atoms
