Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?​
stepan [7]

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

A chemist measures the energy change ΔH during the following reaction: C3H8 (g) +5O2 (g) →3CO2 (g) +4H2O (l) =ΔH−2220.kJ Use the
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The reaction is exothermic.

Yes, released.

The heat released is 4,08x10³ kJ.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

The ΔH is -2220 kJ, As ΔH is <0, <em>The reaction is exothermic.</em>

As the reaction is exothermic, the heat of the reaction will be <em>released.</em>

The heat released in 81,0g is:

81,0g C₃H₈×\frac{1mol}{44,1g}×\frac{2220kJ}{1mol}= <em>4,08x10³ kJ</em>

<em>-Using molar mass of C₃H₈ to convert mass to moles and knowing that there are released 2220 kJ per mole of C₃H₈-</em>

I hope it helps!

Salt domes result when: 1. inland seas dry 2.the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise 3. a layer of sedimentary sa
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Salt domes result when <u><em>the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise. (Option 2)</em></u>

Explanation:

In geology it is called the gently wavy and rounded relief dome.

Salt has some special properties like rock:

  • Salt has a lower specific gravity in relation to a common mineral.
  • Salts deform plastically and are very mobile.
  • Salts have a high water solubility.

These properties allow, if the pressure is very high, that the salt layers move upwards (due to their lower density). That is, the internal forces produce the elevation of the strata by means of the pressure they exert towards a higher point, generating that the salt looks for its way towards the surface [that is, the salt ascends through the sedimentary layers of the earth's crust, crossing them and deforming them] and causing the bulging structure. The oldest strata are located in the central area of the dome, while the most modern are distributed in the farthest radius. The structure is called salt or diapiro dome, the phenomenon by which it is formed is called diapirism.

Finally, you can say that <u><em>Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise.</em></u>

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

To know more about oxidation number here:

Explain the ways that carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. How is it removed? Does most carbon enter the atmosphere as car
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Each year, five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels.Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent.Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating
