Oxygen is the most abundant element in erath's crust (46 % by weight). Oxygen is present in Group 16 in the periodic table. The other elements in this period are: Sulphur (S), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te). The general electronic configuration of the elements present in Group 16 is: ns² np⁴. Oxygen is smallest in size among other elements in the same group. It exists as O₂ molecule where O=O bond is found. These O₂ molecules are associated through  van der Waal's force of attraction which are very weak, because of that O₂ exists as gas. Except oxygen, other elements do not form divalent molecule and they have  d-orbitals, so they can show catenation property by which large number of atoms are connected via covalent bonds. Hence those elements are not gaseous. Sulphur, Selenium and Tellurium are solid,

Approximately 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide gas are produced for every liter of gasoline burned in an automobile gasoline engine. Cal
uranmaximum [27]
125 mile *1gallon/35 mi = 135/35 = (27/7) gallon gasoline 

27/7 gallon * 1 L/0.264 gallon = 14.6 L  gasoline

14.6 L gasoline * 2.5kg CO2/1L gasoline= 36.5 kg CO2

36.5 kg CO2 * 1lb/0.454 kg = 80.4 lb

Answer: 80.4 lb CO2

What is Chemistry and how do you relate in real life?
Neko [114]
It is known that chemistry is a BIG part of our everyday lives. You can find chemistry in daily life in foods you eat, air you breathe, soap, your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. For example, Chemistry explains how food changes as you cook it, how it rots, how to preserve food, how your body uses the food you eat, and how ingredients interact to make food.
Hope it helps! :)

An organic compound is 61.5% C, 2.56% H and 35.9% N by mass. 2.00 grams of this gas is entered into a 300.0 mL flask and heated
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C₄H₂N₂

Explanation:

First we<u> calculate the moles of the gas</u>, using PV=nRT:

P = 2670 torr ⇒ 2670/760 = 3.51 atm

V = 300 mL ⇒ 300/1000 = 0.3 L

T = 228 °C ⇒ 228 + 273.16 = 501.16 K

  • 3.51 atm * 0.3 L = n * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 501.16 K
  • n = 0.0256 mol

Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of the compound</u>:

  • 2.00 g / 0.0256 mol = 78 g/mol

Finally we use the percentages given to<em> </em><u>calculate the empirical formula</u>:

  • C ⇒ 78 g/mol * 61.5/100 ÷ 12g/mol = 4
  • H ⇒ 78 g/mol * 2.56/100 ÷ 1g/mol = 2
  • N ⇒ 78 g/mol * 35.9/100 ÷ 14g/mol = 2

So the empirical formula is C₄H₂N₂
