A covalent bond is formed between two non-metals that have similar electronegativities.

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are "stronger" than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.

A certain alcohol contains only three elements, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of a 60.00 gram sample of the alcohol p

marin [14]

Answer:

$C_2H_6O$

Explanation:

The first step is the calculation of the moles of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ , so:

$114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2$

$70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O$

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1 mol of C and in 1 mol of $H_2O$ we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to calculate the grams of C and O and then do the substraction form the initial amount, so:

$2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C$

$3.9~mol~H_2O\frac{2~mol~H}{1~mol~H_2O}\frac{1~g~H}{1~mol~H}=7.82~g~of~H$

$Total~grams=~31.25~+~7.82=39.08~g$

$grams~of~O=60.00~g-~39.08~g=20.92~g~of~O$

Now we can convert the grams of O to moles, so:

$20.92~g~of~O\frac{1~mol~O}{16~g~O}=1.30~mol~O$

The next step is to divide all the mol values by the smallest one:

$O=\frac{1.30~mol~O}{1.30~mol~O}=~1$

$C=\frac{2.6~mol~C}{1.30~mol~O}=~2$

$H=\frac{7.82~mol~H}{1.30~mol~O}=6$

Therefore the formula is $C_2H_6O$

Why is global warming called the greenhouse effect?

nika2105 [10]

Since greenhouses are designed to trap in heat, we call global warming the “greenhouse effect” because it essentially does the same thing. “Greenhouse” gases (gases that easily trap heat) clog up the outer layers of the atmosphere and prevents heat from leaving the planet. The gases trap heat, just like greenhouses.
