Answer:
Carbon has 4 valence electrons (electrons that are used in bonding), and therefore it can make 4 bonds which is the most one can (other than some exceptions, but in general it is the most). It wants to make 4 bonds so it can reach a full octet of 8 elections, hence the rule of 8.
Explanation:
Answer:
I suggest you See Explanation. But tldr: Carbon forms four bonds with no lone pairs.
Explanation:
By "rule of 8" I am assuming you mean "Octet Rule." In case you don't know, the octet rule (or rule of 8) is a rule referring to the maximum number of valence shell electrons that an atom can hold: 8 electrons. However, there are exceptions to this: octet-deficient and expanded octet atoms. Octet-deficient atoms follow what is known as the duet rule (or rule of 2), as seen in the case of H and He, or have have a capacity of up to 6 electrons in their valence shell, as seen in the case of B and Be. Expanded octets contain 10, 12, or even 14 electrons and occur in Period 3 elements and after. (It was previously assumed that this was due to d-orbital hybridization but that hypothesis has been disproven and currently an explanation regarding expanded octets doesn't exist. Yet another Nobel Prize worthy concept to solve when you have free time!)
Anyways, how does this all apply to Carbon being the backbone of the millions of organic molecules? Well, carbon follows the octect rule. Unlike duet rule atoms, it is not limited to one bond with another atom. Neither does it hold many lone pairs to itself nor form over four bonds at once causing a decrease in stability. No, Carbon forms four bonds with no lone pairs and has perfect stability in terms of both formal charge and octect rule in many of its structures. Its capacity to bond to up to 4 atoms without comprimising stability is the reason why carbon is the backbone of organic molecules.

The two green substances are not same thing because some of their properties are different and some of them are the same. If they were the same substance, all of their properties would have to be the same.
How could the explanation be improved?
Answer:
Even though the two substances possess many similarities, they have some unique properties. In turn, since they have the same properties, if they were the same substance, it would make matters worse, if the same chemical was in two different places, there would not be a difference between them since they are the same, just as it is with are two different chemicals would have differing properties since they are two properties would vary from one another since they are 2 totally different things!

Zn + Fe2O3 --> Fe + ZnO
If excess Zn reacts with 1.34g Fe2O3 in the reaction above, how many grams of Fe would you expect to be produced
The mass of Fe produced from the reaction is 0.938 g.
We'll begin by calculating the mass of Fe2O3 that reacted and the mass of Fe produced from the balanced equation.
3Zn + Fe₂O₃ —> 2Fe + 3ZnO
Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = (56×2) + (16×3) = 160 g/mol
Mass of Fe₂O₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 160 = 160 g
Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol
Mass of Fe from the balanced equation = 2 × 56 = 112 g
From the balanced equation above,
160 g of Fe₂O₃ reacted to produce 112 g of Fe.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of the Fe produced by 1.34 g of Fe₂O₃
From the balanced equation above,
160 g of Fe₂O₃ reacted to produce 112 g of Fe
Therefore,
1.34 g of Fe₂O₃ will react to produce = (1.34 × 112)/160 = 0.938 g of Fe
Thus, 0.938 g of Fe was produced from the reaction.

Explanation:
Percent Error Formula: approximate error - actual value divided by actual value (Approximate-Actual/Actual). After those steps are completed, multiply by 100 to make it a percentage form.
0.365 - 0.400 = -0.035
-0.035 / 0.400 = 0.0875

2. Use the graph below to answer the following questions.
Does this graph represent an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
How do you know this graph represents that type of reaction?
What is the potential energy of the reactants (PEreactants)?
What is the potential energy of the products (PEproducts)?
What is ΔH of the reaction?
REMEMBER: ΔH = PEproducts - PEreactants
What is the activation energy (Ea) of this reaction?
REMEMBER: Activation Energy = Maximum Energy - PEreactants
Answer:
The graph represents an endothermic reaction.
The products have more energy than the reactants.
80kJ
160kJ
80kJ
160kJ
The given graph is representing an endothermic reaction as the potential energy reactants are lower than that of the products.
ΔH of the reaction and activation energy is 80 KJ and 160 KJ respectively.
What is the endothermic process?An endothermic process can be defined as a process with an increase in the enthalpy H of the system. An endothermic process involves an increase in the temperature of the system.
Whether a process occurs spontaneously depends not just on the enthalpy change but also on the entropy change and temperature.
From the graph, the potential energy of the reactants = 80 KJ
The potential energy of the products = 160 KJ
ΔH of the reaction, ΔH = PE(products) - PE(reactants)
ΔH = 160 -80 = 80 KJ
The activation energy (Ea) of this reaction will be:
Activation Energy (Ea) = Maximum Energy - PE(reactants)
Activation Energy = 240 - 80 = 160 KJ

A sealed flask initially contains pure nitrogen dioxide gas (NO,). Over time, the nitrogen dioxide forms dinitrogen tetroxide gas (N,O.). The graph below shows the relative amounts of (NO,) and (N20.) over time. What is true about the time indicated by the blue arrow?
This problem is providing information about the equilibrium reaction whereby nitrogen dioxide gas produced dinitrogen tetroxide gas as shown on the attached picture and the following chemical equation:
NO₂ (g) ⇄ N₂O₄ (g)
In such a way, we can consider the given choices to reason the following: the blue arrow is pointing out the arrival to the equilibrium condition for the reaction, a point in which the rate of the forward reaction (formation of N₂O₄) is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction (formation of NO₂), because the molecules will fluctuate to the same relative amounts defined by the equilibrium constant.
Therefore the answer will be the first one on the attached file, which can vary on your online homework format.

Most dense
Least dense
Answer Bank
Ar
Ne
CO2
H
C12
Answer:
Arrange them in order of greatest to least Molar Mass to get most dense to least dense at a given temperature and pressure.
Explanation:
"Given Temperature and Pressure" just tells you that those two variables are being held constant. The Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT) shows that n (the # of moles) and V (the volume) are variable still. To keep pressure constant, we need to increase the volume so that the force per area is the same which would unfortunately lower the density. The only way for a gas to have the greatest density would be to have the least average kinetic energy to keep the pressure constant at a smaller volume. This is because kinetic energy is equal to KE = 1/2 m v^2, where m is mass in kilograms and v is the velocity. IT IS CRUCIAL TO NOTE THAT ACCORDING TO KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY, ALL GASES HAVE THE SAME AVG. KINETIC ENERGY WHEN AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE. So since the avg. KE is also constant across these answers due to the temp. being constant, our only way to decrease the velocity (the rate at which the particles are moving per second) and in turn the number of collisions (to repeat, a smaller number of collisions is desired because they are equal to the pressure that must maintained at a constant value at the smallest volume possible to achieve highest density possible) is to increase the molar mass. This is also pretty intutive for the other part of the issue: since Density is a broken heart (m/v), a higher molar mass would ensure a smaller pressure (due to decreased velocity) and smaller volume (due to constant pressure). Okay, now order the gases heaviest to lightest in terms of molar mass and you got your answer. Please gimme brainliest if this helped bc it took 15 minutes to type out. Hope this helped you! :D
Density is an intensive property as it does not depend on the quantity of the substances Whereas mass and volume are extensive property. The order of density is carbon dioxide>Neon >argon>carbon-12> hydrogen.
What is density?Density tells about the compactness of the substances, how much dense is the substances in other words. Object that is more denser than water they just sink in the water.
Mathematically,
Density of gas = Molar Mass of the gas ÷volume occupied by the given gases
Density is directly proportional to molar mass of the gases.
Molar mass of argon = 18g/mole
Molar mass of Neon = 20g/mole
Molar mass of carbon dioxide=44.01 g/mol
Molar mass of hydrogen=1g/mol
Molar mass of carbon-12=12g/mol
The order of gases from most dense to least dense at a given temperature and pressure is carbon dioxide>Neon >argon>carbon-12> hydrogen.
Therefore, the order of density is carbon dioxide>Neon >argon>carbon-12> hydrogen.
