Answer:

three valence electrons

Explanation:

Gallium has three electrons in the outer energy level and therefore has three valence electrons. The identification of valence electrons is vital because the chemical behavior of an element is determined primarily by the arrangement of the electrons in the valence shell.

If we react 30 grams of ethane (C2H6 ) with 320 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide would we make

V125BC [204]

The mass of carbon dioxide that would be made by reacting 30 grams C2H6 with 320 grams O2 will be 80 grams

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

$2C_2H_6+7O_2---4CO_2+6H_2O$

The mole ratio of C2H6 to O2 is 2:7.

Mole of 30 grams C2H6 = mass/molar mass

= 30/30

= 1 mole

Mole of 320 grams O2 = 320/32

= 10 moles

Thus, C2H6 is the limiting reactant.

Mole ratio of C2H6 to CO2 according to the equation = 1:2

Since the mole of C2H6 is 1, the equivalent mole of CO2 would, therefore, be 2.

Mass of 2 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

= 2 x 44

= 88 grams

A compound is composed of 13% carbon, 4.3% hydrogen, 30.4% nitrogen, and 52.2% oxygen. The mystery compound has a molar mass of

vredina [299]

Answer:

C₂H₈N₄O₆ is the molecular formula for the compound

Explanation:

Data from the problem:

13 g of C in 100 g of compound

4.3 g of H in 100 g of compound

30.4 g of N in 100 g of compound

52.2 g of O in 100 g of compound

Firstly we determine, the mass of each in 184 g of compound, which is 1 mol

(13 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 24 g C

(4.3 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 7.91 g H ≅ 8 g H

(30.4 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 56 g N

(52.2 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 96 g O

And now, we divide the mass by the molar mass of each to determine the moles:

24 g C / 12 g/mol = 2 mol C

8g H / 1 g/mol = 8 mol H

56 g N / 14 g/mol = 4 mol N

96 g O / 16 g/mol = 6 mol O

So the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₈N₄O₆

How is the composition of a meteorite relevant to finding out the composition of earth’s core?

boyakko [2]

Explanation:

Since scientists think planets and meteorites were made at the same time and in the same place, it seems logical that whatever a meteorite is made of is also what planets are made of.
