Murrr4er [49]4 years ago
5 0

In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58 Da) would you have to dissolve in 50ml to make a 2M stock solution? Answer:
Lerok [7]

Answer:

5.8 g

Explanation:

Molecular weight in Daltons is equivalent to the molecular weight in grams per mole.

The amount of NaCl required is calculated as follows:

(2 mol/L)(50 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.1 mol

This amount is converted to grams using the molar mass (58 g/mol).

(0.1 mol)(58 g/mol) = 5.8 g

!!HELP PLS!! A compound sample contains 0.783g of C, 0.196 g of H, 0.521 g 0 and the molecular formula molar mass is 184.27g/mol
Delvig [45]

Answer:

First

divide each element by its Molecular Mass to get their respective moles

Then Divide through by the lowest of the moles

You'll have the ratio of Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen to be

C2H3O

Given Molecular Mass=184.27

C2H3On=184.27

n(12x2 + 1x3 + 16) =184.27

Evaluating this... You'll have n=4.3

Pls check if you assigned the correct value to each element

What is the chemical equation( formula ) of the reaction of photosynthesis
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Explanation:

This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
