Answer:
They use hypotheses to guess a result based on what they already know. Observations are used to record the results of an experiment. Predictions are used to have an expected outcome of a test, thinking the hypothesis is correct. Experiments are used to test the hypothesis.
Solid Silicon can be reacted with Nitrogen gas at a high temperature to form silicon nitride (Si3N4).
1.20 moles of Silicon are added to 1.00 moles of Nitrogen gas.
(5 Points) Balance the equation and indicate the phases.
Si (___) + N2 (___) → Si3N4 (___)
(5 Points) What is the limiting reactant? You must show your work.
Answer:
44 g
Explanation:
The formula for the number of moles (n) is equal to 
.
Since we need to find the mass, we derive it from the formula of the number of moles and we get that mass = n x molecular weight .
The molecular weight of 
= 12 g/mol (from the carbon) + 19x4 g/mol (from the 4 fluorine atoms)= 88 g/mol
We plug in the numbers in the derived formula for the mass and we get :
mass = n x molecular weight = 0.5 mol x 88 g/mol = 44 g
Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. This sharing allows each atom to achieve its octet of electrons and greater stability. Methane, CH 4<span>, the simplest organic compound, contains covalent bonds. Carbon has four valence electrons, while hydrogen has one valence electron. By sharing these outer‐shell electrons, carbon and hydrogen complete their valence shells and become more stable. The duet of electrons on the hydrogen is isoelectronic with helium and forms a complete shell.</span>
