solution:

answer is two

explanation:

In sharing of electrons in the equation water each carbon atom and hydrogen atom share its one electron from its outermost orbit.

since carbon has seven electrons in its outermost orbit and it wants to get one electron to complete its octet.

while hydrogen atoms has one electron to its outermost orbit and it needs one electron to complete its duet.

similarly

second hydrogen atom do as the shame process as it also share one electron to carbon to complete its duet.

after the sharing of electrons both the atoms form molecule water which is stable.

What is the total pressure in a container with 256 mm Hg of Oz, 198 mm Hg of He,
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

P(total pressure) = 504 mmHg = 504mm/760mm/atm = 0.663 atm

Explanation:

Apply Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.

P(total) = ∑Partial Pressures = ∑(256mm + 198mm + 48mm) = 504 mmHg

P(total pressure) = 504 mmHg = 504mm/760mm/atm = 0.663 atm

How many grams of the excess reactant are left over according to the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 g of Al and 1
valentinak56 [21]
<span>4 Al + 3 O2 → 2 Al2O3 

(10.0 g Al) / (26.98154 g Al/mol) = 0.37062 mol Al 
(19.0 g O2) / (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 0.59377 mol O2 

0.37062 mole of Al would react completely with 0.37062 x (3/4) = 0.277965 mole of O2, but there is more O2 present than that, so O2 is in excess. 

((0.59377 mol O2 initially) - (0.277965 mol O2 reacted)) x (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 
10.1 g O2 left over</span><span>
