Answer:
The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.
Explanation:
Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.
For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows
..
.. Cl..
.. ..
..Cl..----------C----------..Cl..
..
.. Cl..
The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.
Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.
The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.

Answer:
Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Explanation:
Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,
15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg
1 mg = 0.001 g
Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.
Answer:
38 : 25
Explanation:
First thing's first, we have to confirm if the reaction is indeed balanced.
The equation of the reaction is given as;
C25H52 + 38 O2 → 25 CO2 + 26 H2O
From the reaction, 38 moles of O2 produces 25 moles of CO2
The ratio is given as;
38 : 25
