The formula in my book for carbonate is Co32- and I’m confused because carbon has 4 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 . How doe

s it end up being CO32-?? Please help

The total charge of the carbonate ion is -2. O2 in CO32- has a total charge of -6 (3 x -2). Hence, to find the charge of carbon -> x + -6 = -2. Therefore, carbon has a charge of +4.
This matches your theory stated whereby
1. Carbon has 4 valence electrons so in this case, it loses 4 electrons to obtain a stable noble octet config. & hence has a charge of +4.
2. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so in this case, it gains 2 electrons & hence has a charge of -2.

A gaseous mixture contains 443.0 Torr H 2 ( g ) , 369.9 Torr N 2 ( g ) , and 82.7 Torr Ar ( g ) . Calculate the mole fraction, χ
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

χH₂ = 0.4946

χN₂ = 0.4130

χAr = 0.0923

Explanation:

The total pressure of the mixture (P) is:

P = pH₂ + pN₂ + pAr

P = 443.0 Torr + 369.9 Torr + 82.7 Torr

P = 895.6 Torr

We can find the mole fraction of each gas (χ) using the following expression.

χi = pi / P

χH₂ = pH₂ / P = 443.0 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4946

χN₂ = pN₂ / P = 369.9 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4130

χAr = pAr / P = 82.7 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.0923

false,

sodium has a vigorous reaction with water.

This can be observed by putting a piece of sodium in water,

it moves swiftly across the surface of water and reacts violently.

The difference in composition between a weak base and its conjugate acid is
Svetach [21]
A weak Bronsted-Lowry base is a weak proton acceptor, where the proton is in the form of H+, so the conjugate acid formed contains one more H atom and an extra positive charge.
Hope this helps!
