Answer:
Lewis structure is shown in the image below.
Explanation:
Acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻)
Valence electrons of carbon = 4
Valence electrons of oxygen = 6
Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1
Charge = 1 (Negative which means that the electrons are being added)
The total number of the valence electrons = 2(4) + 2(6) + 3(1) + 1 = 24
The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,
The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.
After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, the answer to the question is that one is acidic because according to brad's observation on turned red and the others are basic or alkaline with the two papers turning blue.
Answer:
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) ---> 1CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)
Explanation:
any combustion of a hydrocarbon equation is in form:
CₓHₐ(g) + BO₂(g) ---> YCO₂(g) + ZH₂O(g), where x,a,b,y,z are all whole number positive integers
there will be 1 CO₂ to 2 H₂O, since there is 1 C to 4 H in CH₄; it is not 1:4 since 2 H is needed in H₂O
CH₄(g) + _O₂(g) ---> 1CO₂ + 2H₂O
there is 4 total O on products side, which can make 2O₂
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) ---> 1CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)
