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.

What is the amount of solute required if the solution is 50 ml and the solvent is 35 ml. Solve and explain
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

15 mL of the solute

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution is simply defined as:

Solution = solute + solvent

With the above formula, we can easily obtain the solute in the solution as follow:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution = solute + solvent.

50 = solute + 35

Collect like terms

50 – 35 = solute

15 = solute

Solute = 15 mL

Therefore, 15 mL of the solute is required.
