Chlorine is a halogen and all halogens and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomics
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Neon is in group 8/0, which means that it has a full outer shell. Atoms react to get a full outer shell but as neon already has a full outer shell, it doesn't react and stays monatomic.

However, chlorine is in group 7, so it needs 1 more electron to complete its outer shell, two chlorine atom share one electron each with each other so they have full outer shells. This is why chlorine is diatomic.

The combustion of 0.374 kg of methane in the presence of excess oxygen produces 0.983 kg of carbon dioxide. What is the percent
anyanavicka [17]
Assuming that the combustion formula is
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2<span>,

That means for every 1 molecule of methane(CH4) there will be one molecule of carbon dioxide(</span>CO2) produced. Methane molecular weight 16, carbon dioxide molecular weight is 44. Then the percent yield should be:
1 * (0.374/ 16) /(0.983/44)= 0.374*44/ 0.983 * 16= 104.6%

You sure the number is correct? Percent yield should not exceed 100%

Bond [772]

Answer:

about 0.7 g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass ÷ volume

D = 5.29 g / (12.6 mL - 5.00 mL)

D = 5.29 g / 7.6 mL

D = 0.696052.... g/mL

D = about 0.7 g/mL

how much energy has your body used, in joules, if your health device indicates that 450 calories were burned during your workout
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Calories burned = 450 calories

Find:

Total energy consumed

Computation:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

So,

450 calories = 4.184 × 450

450 calories = 1,882.8 joules

Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules

Answer:

c. 3.00 M HCl

Explanation:

From dilution formula

C1V1 = C2V2

C1=?, V1= 10.0ml, C= 1.5, V2= 20.0ml

Substitute and Simplify

C1×10= 1.5×20

C1= 3.00M
