(a)
Interpretation:
A compound with one carbon, one nitrogen atom and as many as hydrogen atoms have to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Atomic number of Carbon is 6 and has 4 valence electrons. Thus it usually forms four covalent bonds.
Atomic number of Hydrogen is 1 and has only one valence electron. Thus it usually forms one covalent bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
A compound with one carbon, one oxygen atom and as many as hydrogen atoms have to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Atomic number of Oxygen is 8 and has 6 valence electrons. Thus it usually forms two covalent bonds.
Atomic number of Carbon is 6 and has 4 valence electrons. Thus it usually forms four covalent bonds.
Atomic number of Hydrogen is 1 and has only one valence electron. Thus it usually forms one covalent bond.

Chemistry In Context
- Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide (in kg) emitted into the atmosphere by the complete combustion of a 15.0 gallon tank of gasoline. Do this by following these steps: Assume that gasoline is composed of octane (C8H18). Write a balanced equation for the combustion of octane. Determine the number of moles of octane contained in a 15.0 gallon tank of gasoline (1 gallon = 3.78 L). Octane has a density of 0.79 g/mL. Use the balanced equation to convert from moles of octane to moles of carbon dioxide, then convert to grams of carbon dioxide, and Finally to kg of carbon dioxide.arrow_forwardHelp solve all problems.arrow_forwardWhat is the ammonia gas in agriculture used for?arrow_forward
- In lab, a student was given a hydrated version of NiCl2 as the unknown. The initial mass of the hydrated salt was 0.712 g. The student heated the crucible for 10 minutes with the cover slightly ajar. After cooling, the dried salt weighed 0.458 g. What is the chemical formula for this hydrate? What is the IUPAC name for this hydrate?arrow_forwardGreenhouse gases absorb thermal energy. What happens to the energy that is transferred into greenhouse gases? Select one: a.
