explain how both hydrogen and carbon have achieved stability by bonding with each other to form methane ​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
8 0

Each element tries to achieve stability by forming a noble gas configuration (2 or 8 valence electrons)

Carbon has 4 valence electrons, achieving stability requires 4 more electrons

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, achieving stability requires 1 more electron

Carbon and hydrogen bond covalently by sharing their electrons so that they become stable (carbon binds 4 hydrogens) to form CH₄ (methane)

A carbon iota can bond with four other iotas and is just like the four-hole wheel, whereas an oxygen iota, which can bond only to two, is just like the two-hole wheel.

Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

Calculate ΔG o for the following reaction at 25°C: 3Mg(s) + 2Al3+(aq) ⇌ 3Mg2+(aq) + 2Al(s) Enter your answer in scientific notat
larisa [96]

Answer:

-3.7771 × 10² kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following equation.

3 Mg(s) + 2 Al³⁺(aq) ⇌ 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 Al(s)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = ∑np . ΔG°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔG°f(r)

where,

n: moles

ΔG°f(): standard Gibbs free energy of formation

p: products

r: reactants

ΔG° = 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al(s)) - 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg(s)) - 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al³⁺(aq))

ΔG° = 3 mol × (-456.35 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 3 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 2 mol × (-495.67 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -377.71 kJ = -3.7771 × 10² kJ

This is the standard Gibbs free energy per mole of reaction.

Which of the following is in intensive property a. mass b. magnetism c shape D. volume
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

b. Magnetism (sorry im very late)

Explanation:

Intensive properties do not depend on size, no matter what it doesn't. For example, magnetism, density, melting and boiling points, and color. All of those support intensive property.

A gas at 127०C and 10.0 L expands to 20.0 L. What is the new temperature in Celcius? (HINT: You need to convert to Kelvins solve
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

526.85K

Explanation:

Based on Charles's law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature. The formrula is:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

<em>Where 1 represents the initial state and 2 the final state of the gas</em>

Using the values of the problem:

V₁ = 10.0L

T₁ = 127°C + 273.15K = 400.15K

V₂ = 20.0L

Thus, replacing in the formula:

10.0L / 400.15K = 20.0L / T₂

T₂ = 800K

In Celsius:

800K - 273.15 =<em> 526.85K</em>

Be sure to answer all parts. Sulfur dioxide is released in the combustion of coal. Scrubbers use lime slurries of calcium hydrox
scoray [572]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below and \Delta S^o for the reaction is -160.6 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

When calcium hydroxide reacts with sulfur dioxide, it leads to the formation of calcium sulfate and water molecule.

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and sulfur dioxide follows:

Ca(OH)_2(s)+SO_2(g)\rightarrow CaSO_3(s)+H_2O(l)

To calculate the entropy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{products}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{reactants}]

For the given reaction:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta S^o_{CaSO_3(s)})+(1\times \Delta S^o_{H_2O(l)})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{Ca(OH)_2(s)})+(1\times \Delta S^o_{SO_2(g)})]

Taking the standard entropy change values:

\Delta S^o_{CaSO_3(s)}=101.4Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\\\Delta S^o_{H_2O(l)}=69.9Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\\\Delta S^o_{Ca(OH)_2(s)}=83.4Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\\\Delta S^o_{SO_2(g)}=248.5Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (101.4))+(1\times (69.9))]-[(1\times (83.4))+(1\times (248.5))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-160.6J/K

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above and \Delta S^o for the reaction is -160.6 J/K
