Answer:

There are 8 bonding electrons and 0 nonbonding electron on carbon atom

Explanation:

CO_{2} consists of two C=O bonds.

Total number of valence electrons in CO_{2} are 16.

Two C=O bonds uses 8 electrons from 16 available electrons. Rest of the electrons are used to fulfill octet of two oxygen atoms.

Hence 8 electrons are present as nonbonding electrons on two oxygen atoms.

So, Carbon atom contains 8 bonding electrons and 0 nonbonding electrons.

Lewis structure of CO_{2} has been given below.

Explain why you usually can't use just a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element
Agata [3.3K]
You can't usually just use a  single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element because there are cases that the emission line id not clearly defined.  When the emission line is very weak compared to surrounding noise, in which case the more datapoints you have to build up confidence for the existence of a particular emission spectra, the better.

If the heating curve is reversed, what describes the boiling point?
GalinKa [24]
Boiling is the process of converting a substance from liquid state to gaseous state. If the heating curve is reversed, the process also is reversed from converting gaseous state to liquid state. In this case, the reverse of boiling is condensation. So the answer is point of condensation.

When a 120 g sample of aluminum absorbs 9612 of heat energy, its temperature increases from 25°C to 115°C. Find the specific hea
lesantik [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.89 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Mass of the aluminium sample is 120 g
  • Quantity of heat absorbed by aluminium sample is 9612 g
  • Change in temperature, ΔT = 115°C - 25°C

                                                      = 90°C

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity;

  • We need to know that the quantity of heat absorbed is calculated by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is;

Q = m × c × ΔT

  • Therefore, rearranging the formula we can calculate the specific heat capacity of Aluminium.

Specific heat capacity, c = Q ÷ mΔT

                                         = 9612 J ÷ (120 g × 90°C)

                                         = 0.89 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of Aluminium is  0.89 J/g°C
