1,2,3, or 4. Generally, carbon likes to make 4 bonds to 4 different atoms. For example, in methane(CH4), Carbon makes 4 bonds to 4 hydrogens. However, Carbon can also make double and triple bonds to atoms. This means that of the 4 bonds, more are used to bond to one thing. For example, in the compound CN, Carbon bonds to hydrogen on one side and triple bonds to Nitrogen on the other. This shows carbon can bond to at 2 atoms as well as 4 at a time. using a one double bond carbon would only bond to 3 atoms. I cant think of an example where carbon only bonds to one other atom without breaking the octet rule, but all the other values can be validated through examples. So, I still think the bottom answer is correct. Hope this helped!

CH3CH2OH+3O2 2CO2+3H20 ( ethanol) explain this equation! if u didn't understand the wat I have written could u text in personal
Alexandra [31]

The equation is given is of combustion of ethanol.

Fuel ethanol (C2H5OH) has high energy carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds that store chemical energy. From the ethanol container, ethanol molecules evaporating, enter the flame's base. A physical action called evaporation converts liquid into gas. Ethanol evaporates with a constant molecular structure.

The molecules of ethanol and oxygen combine inside the flame and undergo a chemical transformation. Let's consider matter, or the atoms. The oxygen (O2) and ethanol (C2H5OH) molecules' atoms reorganise into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). There are always the same number of atoms. A chemical equation may be used to demonstrate how the atoms are rearranged.

Energy is released as the atoms in the oxygen and ethanol are rearranged. When the high-energy C-C and C-H bonds in ethanol are swapped out for the low-energy H-O and C=O bonds in carbon dioxide and water, chemical energy is released as heat and light.

The ethanol and oxygen atoms are rearranged into carbon dioxide and water during burning. Water and carbon dioxide escape from the flame's top.

To conclude with we can say that the given reaction of combustion of ethanol. Ethanol with oxygen given carbon dioxide with water on reaction.

Consider the equation for the formation of water.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The theoretical yield is 160 g H₂O.

<em>Moles of H₂</em> = 18 g H₂ × (1 mol H₂/2.016 g H₂) = 8.93 mol H₂

<em>Moles of H₂O</em> = 8.93 mol H₂O × (2 mol H₂O/2 mol H₂) = 8.93 mol H₂O

<em>Theoretical yield</em> of H₂O = 8.93 mol H₂O × (18.02 g H₂O/1 mol H₂) = 160 g H₂O

What would you observe when zinc is added to a dilute hydrochloric acid? Write the chemical reaction that takes place?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

1) Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

You would see the reaction forming bubbles vigorously. Hydrogen gas is produced in the process.
