To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.
F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.
As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
Answer:
A It changes shape and volume
Explanation:If a liquid turns into a gas it starts to change shape since they are not the same
my answer is D sorry if I'm wrong
Answer:
The change in enthalpy in the combustion of 3 moles of methane = -2406 kJ
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>The balanced equation
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) ΔH = -802 kJ
<u>Step 2:</u> Given data
We notice that for 1 mole of methane (CH4), we need 2 moles of O2 to produce : 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of H20.
The enthalpy change of combustion, given here as Δ
H
, tells us how much heat is either absorbed or released by the combustion of <u>one mole</u> of a substance.
In this case: we notice that the combustion of 1 mole of methane gives off (because of the negative number), 802.3 kJ of heat.
<u>Step 3: </u>calculate the enthalpy change for 3 moles
The -802 kj is the enthalpy change for 1 mole
The change in enthalpy for 3 moles = 3* -802 kJ = -2406 kJ
The change in enthalpy in the combustion of 3 moles of methane = -2406 kJ
