When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.

A stable atom would need 8 valence electrons, so since its sharing, lets subtract. 

8 - 6 = 2

It needs only 2 valence electrons. 

Answer: 2

Calculate the energy required to melt 21 g of ice at 0 oC.
vladimir1956 [14]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of ice = 21 grams

The ice is already at 0°c, the temperature at which it melts to form water

Molar heat of fusion of Ice = 6.02 kJ/mol

<u>Finding the energy required:</u>

<u>Number of moles of Ice: </u>

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Number of moles = given mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 21 / 18 = 7/6 moles

<u>Energy required to melt the given amount of ice:</u>

Energy = number of moles * molar heat of fusion

Energy = (7/6) * (6.02)

Energy = 7.02 kJ OR 7020 joules

Imagine you need to explain to a friend how to convert a value on a food label to one that is measured in grams. Assume the pack
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

453.592 grams

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 1 lb

Required.

Convert to grams using dimensional analysis

Represent 1 lb with x g

In unit conversion, we have that.

1 lb = 453.592 g

So:

Getting the equivalent of lb in g, we have:

x g = 1 lb * (453.592 g/ 1 lb)

x g = 1 * 453.592 g

x g = 453.592 grams

Hence:

The equivalent of 1 lb in grams is 453.592 grams

How many grams of carbon are present in 45.0 g of CCl4?
lisabon 2012 [21]
To determine the amount of a certain element in a compound, we use the ratio of the elements from the compound. We calculate is follows:

45.0 g CCl4 ( 1 mol CCl4 / 153.82 g CCl4 ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CCl4 ) ( 12.01 g C / 1 mol C ) = 3.5135 g carbon present

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
