Answer:

Lewis structure for isomers of butane has been given below.

Explanation:

Butane is a saturated alkane with molecular formula $C_{4}H_{10}$ . Due to different positing of methyl groups, positional isomerism exists in butane.

Butane has two positional isomers with same molecular formula. One is n-butane and another one is isobutane. Lewis structures of these two isomers have been given below.

What is the balanced form of the chemical equation shown below?

Tanzania [10]

B. 1, 1, 1, 2
Explanation:
You only need to balance the NaNO3 on the right. Since there is 2 NO3 on the left, you need to put a 2 in front of the NaNO3 on the right. Everything else is already balanced so the only coefficient needed is 2 in front of the NaNO3.

2. Which energy source is considered a non-renewable resource?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Although natural processes continually form fossil fuels, such fuels are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and the known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made. ... The use of fossil fuels raises serious environmental concerns.

how many electrons is Fluorine likely to receive from the atom of another element during the formation of a bond.

S_A_V [24]

Answer: Fluorine contains seven valence electrons. It needs one more electron to complete its octet. The oxidation number is 1- and indicates fluorine will gain or share one electron when it combines with another atom to become a more stable compound.

For The Reaction CH3COOH ---> CH3COO- + H+, which of the following statements is true? A.) Ch3COOH is a Bronsted Lowry base.

Savatey [412]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius, bases are the species which when dissolved in water will give hydroxide ions, that is, $OH^{-}$ .

For example, $NaOH + H_{2}O \rightarrow Na^{+} + OH^{-}$

Arrhenius acids are the species which when dissolved in water will give hydrogen ions, that is, $H^{+}$ .

For example, $CH_{3}COOH + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{3}O^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In water, when an acid loses a hydrogen ion then the specie formed is known as conjugate base.

Here, $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ is the conjugate base of $CH_{3}COOH$ .

Similarly, species which accept the hydrogen ion result in the formation of conjugate acid.

Hence, $H_{3}O^{+}$ is the conjugate acid of $H_{2}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ is the conjugate base.
