The reaction CuO + CO → CO2 + Cu is an example of reduction because copper(II) oxide (CuO) gains electrons to form copper (Cu). Reduction is the gain of electrons by a species.
The oxidizing agent in the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O is oxygen (O2). Oxygen is the substance that is gaining electrons and causing the methane (CH4) to oxidize.
yes
There are 22 electrons in one molecule of CO2.
10,225 g oxygen are required.
The carbon atom in CO2 has 4 valence electrons. Each oxygen atom in CO2 adds 6 valence electrons, for a total of 16 valence electrons for the entire molecule.
Total electrons in CO2 are 6+16 = 22

yes
No, SO2 and CO2 are not isoelectronic. Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons, but SO2 has 18 electrons (6 from sulfur and 6 from each oxygen) while CO2 has 16 electrons (4 from carbon and 6 from each oxygen).
In the structure of CO2, there are 2 bonding electrons between each carbon and oxygen atoms, connecting them. There are no nonbonding electrons in the CO2 molecule because all the valence electrons are involved in bonding either between carbon and oxygen or within the oxygen atoms themselves.
C+co2 = 2co
There are 22 electrons in one molecule of CO2.
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2(H2O), the products are CO2 and H2O
C has 4 electrons O has 6 electrons==> O2= 6*2=12 electrons CO2= 4+12 =16 electrons
CO2 does not have unshared pairs of electrons.
