One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with

Chemistry
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)

what is the pressure, in atmospheres, of 2.97 mol h2 gas if it has a volume of 73 liters when the temperature is 298 k? 0.50 atm
Triss [41]
P x V = n x R x T

P x 73 = 2.97 x 0.082 x 298

P x 73 = 72.57492

P = 72.57492 / 73

P = 1.0 atm

hope this helps!

How many formula units are there in 450 g of Na2S04?
Mashutka [201]

Formula units in 450 g of Na_{2} So_{4} is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,

$\frac{450 g}{142.04 g/mol} =  3.2 moles

Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.

3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.
