Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a covalent compound because it is composed of carbon and oxygen. Herein both the elements i.e. C and O are non-metals.


These elements share the electrons. When electrons are shared, each atom will contain 8 electrons in the outer shell. Due to this, all the atoms of the CO2 will become stable and they will have a completed outer shell.


The lewis structure of CO2 is shown below:

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

NH₄Cl  ------> NH₃  +  HCl

Explanation:

Ammonium Chloride =(NH₄Cl

Ammonia = NH₃

Hydrochloric Acid = HCl

NH₄Cl  ------> NH₃  +  HCl

In decomposition reaction, the reactant is breaking down into smaller parts. In this case, all of the coefficients are 1. The reaction is already balanced.

Which of the following substances is most likely to be a liquid at room temperature?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.hydrogen peroxide H₂O₂H₂O₂

Explanation:

Substances can be found in nature in different <em>aggregation states. </em>

Agreggation states can be liquid, gas or solid.

The problem asks about which substance can be found in room temperature as <em>liquid.</em> Each subtances has different physical and chemical properties that determines in which state you can find them at room temperature.

Hydrogen peroxide is the only substance listed that is in liquid state at room temperature, all other substances are in gas state at room temperature.

A stock solution of 1.00 M Fe2(SO4)3 is available. How many milliliters are
Andrews [41]

Answer:

375 mL

Explanation:

M1*V1 = M2*V2

M1 = 1.00 M

V1 = ?

M2 = 0.750 M

V2 = 0.500 L

1.00 M * V1 = 0.750 M * 0.500 L

V1 = 0.750*0.500/1.00 = 0.375 L = 375 mL

Consider the unbalanced equation for the oxidation of aluminum.
SashulF [63]
In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.
