Answer: Linear

Explaination: The central atom of a carbon dioxide molecule is carbon. Carbon is tetravalent which just means it has 4 valence electrons. Because the valence shell isn’t full, the carbon atom can bond with other atoms creating a total of 4 bonds. This then allows the carbon to double bond with 2 oxygen atoms. Now, the atoms in the CO2 molecule Don’t share the electrons evenly because of atomic number or proton count. Because oxygen has an atomic number of 6, carbon has an atomic number of 4, and opposites attract (referring to the positivity of the nucleus and the negativity of the shared electrons), the oxygen atoms will have a slightly negative charge (-) and the oxygen will have a slightly positive charge (+ ). Therefore, the slightly negative oxygen atoms repel creating that linear shape.

Balance the following reaction:
miv72 [106K]

 The balanced reaction is   as below

3A₂B  + 2DC₃→ 6 AC  + D₂B₃


The number that must be  to the left of AC   is 6

 Explanation

  • According to the law  of mass  conservation , the number of atoms in reactant side   must be equal  to number  to the number of atoms  in  product  side.
  • Therefore the equation above is balance  since  it obey the law of mass conservation.
  • For example there is 6 atoms  of A in reactant side and  6 in product side.

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 9.32 g of ethane is
Pie

Answer:

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethane = 9.32 grams

Mass of oxygen = 12.0 grams

Molar mass ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 32.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles ethane

Moles ethane = mass ethane / molar mass ethane

Moles ethane = 9.32 grams / 30.07 g/mol

Moles ethane = 0.3099 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Moles oxygen = 12.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.375 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles ethane we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.375 moles)

Ethane is in excess. There will react 2/7 * 0.375 = 0.107 moles

There will remain 0.375 - 0.107 = 0.268 moles

Step 6: Calculate mass ethane

Mass ethane = moles ethane * molar mass ethane

Mass ethane = 0.268 moles * 30.07 g/mol

Mass ethane = 8.06 grams

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane
