Identifying importance of carbon

Chemistry
1 answer:
GalinKa [24]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Carbon is an essential element for all life forms on Earth. Whether these life forms take in carbon to help manufacture food or release carbon as part of respiration, the intake and output of carbon is a component of all plant and animal life. Carbon is in a constant state of movement from place to place.</u>

How can we separate the components of a compound?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate. However, a compound is chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical processes. Therefore, it is much harder to separate a compound than a mixture.

The element carbon exists in several different forms. Pure carbon can be found in the form of diamonds, coal, and the graphite i
UNO [17]

Answer:

B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

Explanation:

The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

  • These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
  • Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
  • As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.

For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.

 For example:

            <em>¹²₆C                           ¹³₆C                        ¹⁴₆C</em>

The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.

 Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;

    ¹²₆C  , number of neutrons  = 12 - 6  = 6

      ¹³₆C, number of neutrons  = 13 - 6  = 7

       ¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6  = 8

Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.

The question is below
pogonyaev
The reaction that has the greatest tendency to be reversed in an spontaneous redox reaction is that whose forward standard reduction potential is the lowest (mos negative) one because that means that the reversed reaction will have the highest (most positive) standard reduction potential.

So, the answer is Cr(3+) + 3e-    ---> Cr(s) with Eo = -0.91 V, whose reversed reaction is Cr(s) - 3e-         ---> Cr (3+) with Eo = +0.91 V.

Answer: the second option Cr(3+) + 3e-    ---> Cr(s)  Eo = -0.91 V
