Answer:
The CO2 Lewis structure has two double bonds going from carbon to the oxygen atoms. According to the octet rule, each oxygen atom needs to bond twice and the carbon atom needs to bond four times.
Answer:
where is the answer options because it sounds like I need some
Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16
Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.
If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8
The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids.
