CO2 = 4+6(2)
= 16
This means there is a total of 16 valance electrons.

1. Choose least electronegative atom in this case C and put it in the center

2. Put oxygen around it

Eg.

O-C-O

Remember one line equals two electrons.

Put electrons around each atom until full.
Hard to show without drawing. Hope that helps

Chlorine (Cl) is 76% chlorine-35 and 24% chlorine-37. Determine the average atomic mass of chlorine. Show/Explain work.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percent abundance of Cl-35 = 76%

Percent abundance of Cl-37 = 24%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (76×35)+(24×37) /100

Average atomic mass =  2660 + 888 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 3548/ 100

Average atomic mass = 35.48 amu

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?
sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 2.4 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H11
otez555 [7]

Answer:

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Explanation:

2C_{57}H_{110}O_6+163O_2\rightarrow 114CO_2+110H_2O

Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molar mass of fat = M

M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]

Moles of fat = \frac{2400 g}{890 g/mol}=2.6966 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give  ;

\frac{110}{2}\times 2.6966 mol=148.31 mol of water

Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;

148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

A student carefully drops a 9.0 g solid Zn pellet initially at 50.0°C into an insulated cup containing 30.0 g of water at 27.8°C
jekas [21]

Answer: choice B

Explanation: Heat flows from high to low. After you convert the Celsius into kelvin the Zn pellet has 323K and the water has 301K which results the transfer of the heat energy of the pallet to the water. ( you don’t have to convert, but it just make it easier) hope this helped you :)
