Methane is gas that is found in small quantities in Earth's atmosphere. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon, consisting of one c

arbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. It is a powerful greenhouse gas, flammable, and used as a fuel worldwide. Construct an explanation of how carbon and hydrogen combine to form methane. A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal hydrogen forming four covalent bonds. B) Carbon and hydrogen are nonmetals and they share their valence electrons to become ions and form ionic bonds C) Nonmetal carbon loses a valence electron and the nonmetal, hydrogen gains a valence electron to form an ionic bond. D) Hydrogen loses a valence electron to become a cation and carbon gains a valence electron to become an anion forming a covalent bond.

Answer:

A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal hydrogen forming four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Methane is formed when nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal hydrogen forming four covalent bonds. Nonmetals share electrons to form covalent bonds.

Good luck! :)

A 4.0 g sample of iron was heated from 0°C to 20.°C. It absorbed 35.2 J of energy as heat. What is the specific heat of this pie
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:i joule is equal to 0.238902957619 calories so 1251 joules is equal to 298.87 calories divided by 25.0 degrees centigrade is equal to 11.95 calories divided by the 35.2 gram sample weight to get the calories per gram per degree centigrade would come to 0.3396 calories/gram degree centigrade. Presumably this, if correct, could be used to obtain the metal in question by consulting a chart or table with specific heats of various metals because they should always be the same specific heat for each metal.

Fe(ii) can be precipitated from a slightly basic aqueous solution by bubbling oxygen through the solution, which converts fe(ii)
strojnjashka [21]

0.0340 g O2

<em>Step 1.</em> Write the balanced chemical equation

4Fe(OH)^(+) + 4OH^(-) + O2 + 2H2O → 4Fe(OH)3

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the moles of Fe^(2+)

Moles of Fe^(2+) = 50.0 mL Fe^(2+) × [0.0850 mmol Fe^(2+)/1 mL Fe^(2+)]

= 4.250 mmol Fe^(2+)

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the moles of O2

Moles of O2 = 4.250 mmol Fe^(2+) × [1 mmol O2/4 mmol Fe^(2+)]

= 1.062 mmol O2

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the mass of O2

Mass of O2 = 1.062 mmol O2 × (32.00 mg O2/1 mmol O2) = 34.0 mg O2

= 0.0340 g O2
