Take a look at their electronegativity values for this one. Electronegativity is the relative attraction  that a atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond<span>. Salt is Sodium Chloride which is NaCl. Na has an electronegativity value of 0.93. Cl has an electronegativity value of 3.16. The difference between the two is 2.23. This is much higher than 1.7 (a pure covalent bond e.g. Oxygen-Oxygen bond O2) therefore it is a highly ionic compound. If this was less than 1.7 it would be a polar covalent molecule. </span>

lara [203]

Answer:

Option B. 6 atoms of carbon

Explanation:

In <u><em>any chemical reaction</em></u>, atoms from reactant side and product side must be the same.

This is photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂  + 6H₂O  →  C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂

Consider the combustion of octane (C8H18)
sesenic [268]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ --->  16CO₂  + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
 mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g
