Why does carbon form so many organic compounds?

Chemistry

8 0
Because each carbon atom can form for chemical bonds to another’s atoms and because the carbon atom is just the right small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules

(c) O2 gas is transferred from a 3 L vessel containing oxygen at 4 atm to an evacuated 20 L vessel at a constant temperature of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

After the transfer the pressure inside the 20 L vessel is 0.6 atm.

Explanation:

Considering O2 as an ideal gas, it is at an initial state (1) with V1 = 3L and P1 = 4 atm. And a final state (2) with V2 = 20L. The temperature remain constant at all the process, thus here applies the Boyle-Mariotte law. This law establishes that at a constant temperature an ideal gas the relationship between pressure and volume remain constant at all time:

P x V = k

Therefore, for this problem the step by step explanation is:

P_{1} xV_{1} = P_{2} xV_{2}

Clearing P2 and replacing

P_{2}= \frac{P_{1} xV_{1}}{V_{2} } = \frac{4atmx3L}{20L} = 0.6atm

Which list ranks the gasses in the correct order from the
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

D. chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

<em>ν ∝ 1/√M</em>

where ν is the rate of effusion and M is the atomic  or molecular mass of the gas particles.

  • The molecular mass for the listed gases are:

O₂: 32.0 g/mol,

Cl₂: 70.906 g/mol,

N₂: 28.0 g/mol,

H₂: 2.0 g/mol.

  • Hence, the smallest molecular mass of the gas, the fastest rate of effusion.

So, the order from the slowest to the fastest rate of effusion is:

<em>Chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.</em>

Answer:

1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY

Explanation:

For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:

1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:

Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below

1s2 2s2 2p4

The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :

X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY

Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
