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 does LeChatelier's Principle state?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Le Chatelier's principle is an observation about chemical equilibria of reactions. It states that changes in the temperature, pressure, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system in order to achieve a new equilibrium state.

A container of carbon dioxide (CO2) has an initial temperature of 170 K with a pressure of 50 kPa. When the container is heated
Bond [772]

Answer: T2= 962.2 K

Explanation:

The ideal gases is often written like PV=nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is the universal constant of the gases and T is Temperature.

So, in this problem there is a container that is a closed system, therefore n is constant and volume too. The initial point is 1 and the final point is 2, so

V1=V2  ⇒

\frac{n1RT1}{P1} = \frac{n2RT2}{P2} \\\\\frac{T1}{P1} = \frac{T2}{P2} \\\\T2= \frac{T1P2}{P1} =\frac{170 K 283KPa}{50 KPa} =962.2 K

Assume that a raindrop has a volume of 3.48 cm3. If you had an Avogadro’s number of raindrops that just filled a cubic box. What
N76 [4]
Answer is: <span>edge of the length of the box measured is 1280,57 kilometers.
</span>V(raindrop) = 3,48 cm³.
V(cubic box) = 3,48 cm³ · 6,023·10²³.
V(cubic box) = 2,1·10²⁴ cm³.
V(cubic box) = 2,1·10²⁴ cm³ ÷ 10¹⁵.
V(cubic box) = 2,1·10⁹ km³.
r(cubic box) = ∛2,1·10⁹ km³.
r(cubic box) = 1280,57 km.

Calculate the quantity of electricity obtained from 2 moles of electrons​
Vinil7 [7]

The quantity of electricity : 2 Faraday = 193000 Coulomb

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

2 moles of electrons

Required

The quantity of electricity

Solution

According to Faraday, the amount of current flowing in the electrolysis cell is closely related to the amount of substance that reacts

1 Faraday is the amount of electricity that is passed in the electrolysis cell to obtain 1 mole of electrons. 1 mole of electrons is equivalent to an electric charge of 96500 Coulombs.

The conversion / relationship can be stated as follows:

1 Faraday = 1 mole of electrons = 96500 Coulombs

1 faraday = coulomb / 96500

Can be formulated

Coulomb = Q = I. t so:

\large {\boxed {\bold {1 \: Faraday \: = \: \dfrac {i \: x \: t} {96500}}}}

so for 2 moles electrons :

= 2 x 96500 C

= 193000 C

= 2 Faraday
