The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium.
The valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram as shown at the right for carbon dioxide. The electrons shared by the two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice, once for each atom. In carbon dioxide each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon, two (shown in red) from the oxygen itself and two (shown in black) from the carbon. All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet.
Answer:
A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm
B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm
C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm
D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm
Explanation:
Total pressure = 1.48atm
Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4
A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625
The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm
B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625
The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm
C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234
The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm
D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078
The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm
Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.
