Answer:

<em>The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. Atoms will react to get in the most stable state possible.</em>

C + 2H2 -&gt; CH4
ankoles [38]

Answer:

<u>C) 4</u>

Explanation:

<u>The reaction</u> :

  • C (s) + 2H₂ (g) ⇒ CH₄ (g)

       12g      4g             16g

Hence, based on this we can say that : <u>2 moles of hydrogen gas are needed to produce 16g of methane.</u>

<u />

<u>For 32g of methane</u>

  • Number of moles of H₂ = 32/16 × 2
  • Number of moles of H₂ = <u>4</u>

If 28 grams of N reacts completely with 12 grams of H2, then how many
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Mass of NH₃ produced = 34 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of nitrogen = 28 g

Mass of Hydrogen = 12 g

Mass of NH₃ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ +  3H₂    →   2NH₃

Moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 28 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

Moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 12 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen and nitrogen with ammonia.

                            H₂              :               NH₃

                            3                :                2

                            6                :             2/3×6 = 4 mol

                           N₂              :                NH₃

                            1                :                 2

Number of moles of ammonia produced by nitrogen are less thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of ammonia produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  2 mol  ×  17 g/mol

Mass = 34 g

What is the smallest particle representing water?
horrorfan [7]
Water is a compound that is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, therefore the smallest particle of water is water molecule. The smallest particle representing water is written as H2O. H2O is the smallest unit to which water can be split while still retaining the properties of water.
