A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />
Answer:
10 molecules of NH₃.
Explanation:
N₂ + 3H₂ --> 2NH₃
As the N₂ supply is unlimited, what we need to do to solve this problem is <u>convert molecules of H₂ into molecules of NH₃</u>. To do so we use the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em> of the balanced reaction:
- 15 molecules H₂ *
= 10 molecules NH₃
10 NH₃ molecules could be prepared from 15 molecules of H₂ and unlimited N₂.

Answer is: 79.8 grams of copper(II) sulfate.
N(CuSO₄) = 3.01·10²³; number of molecules.
n(CuSO₄) = N(CuSO₄) ÷ Na.
n(CuSO₄) = 3.01·10²³ ÷ 6.02·10²³ 1/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 0.5 mol; amount of substance.
m(CuSO₄) = n(CuSO₄) · M(CuSO₄).
m(CuSO₄) = 0.5 mol · 159.6 g/mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 79.8 g; mass of substance.
M - molar mass.
