Carbon sometimes forms tetrahedral shaped molecular structures. Which property of carbon BEST explains this?

A tetrahedral shaped molecule involves a central atom (in this case carbon) covelantly bonded with four other atoms with out any lone pars.  Since carbon has four unpaired valence electrons, it would make sense that it can form 4 bonds with other atoms.  All of the other choices don't really directly<span> affect the type of bonds that can be formed</span>.  A common example of a tetrahedral structure is CH₄.

Answer:   B. Carbon's four valence electrons.

Explanation:  Tetrahedral shaped structure is the structure in which central metal atom is bonded to 4 other atoms out of which 2 or in the plane of the paper and one is above the plane and other one is below the plane of the paper.

Thus carbon atom can form 4 bonds and shaped itself into tetrahedral structure as shown below -

In a reversible reaction, the endothermic reaction absorbs ____________ the exothermic reaction releases. A. less energy than B.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: C. the same amount of energy as

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is a chemical reaction where the reactants form products that, in turn, react together to give the reactants back.

Reversible reactions will reach an equilibrium point where the concentrations of the reactants and products will no longer change.

A+B\rightleftharpoons C+D

Thus if forward reaction is exothermic i.e. the heat is released , the backward reaction will be endothermic i.e. the heat is absorbed and in same amount.

The amount of energy released will be equal and opposite in sign to the energy absorbed in that reaction.

Oxygen gas, generated by the reaction 2 KClO 3 ---- 2 KCl + 3 O 2 , is collected over water at 27 C in a 2.00 L vessel at a tota
laila [671]

Answer:

The moles of KClO3 = 0.052 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the pressure of oxygen gas

The oxygen has a total pressure (including water vapour) of 760 mmHg

The pressure of Oxygen = (760 - 26) mmHg

                                         = 734 mmHg of water vapor

Step 2: Calculate the no of moles of oxygen

        Using Ideal gas equation

        P V = n R T

       P = pressure of oxygen in N/m2 ( you should convert 734 mmHg to pascal or N/m2) = 97,858.6 N/m2 or pas

       V = 2 litres = 0.002 m3

       R = gas constant = 8.31

       T= 27oC = 300 K

Applying this equation P V = n R T

        97,858.6 x 0.002 = n x 8.31 x 300

        n = 0.0785 mol of Oxygen

From the balanced equation

2 KClO 3 ---- 2 KCl + 3 O 2

3 moles of oxygen is produced from 2 moles KClO3

so 0.0785 mole of oxygen will be produced from x

x = (0.0785 x 2 ) / 3

x = 0.052 moles of KClO3
