According to the octet rule, which of elements will have a tendency to loss 2 electrons?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

b) C = 0.50 J/(g°C)

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

∴ Q = 50 J

∴ m = 10.0 g

∴ ΔT = 35 - 25 = 10 °C

specific heat (C) :

⇒ C = Q / mΔT

⇒ C = 50 J / (10.0 g)(10 °C)

⇒ C = 0.50 J/(g°C)

galben [10]

Answer: the answer is c.The unbalanced push causes the cart to speed up.

Explanation:

The application of an unbalanced force (the push) causes the cart to speed up. When the cart is in constant motion, the forces are balanced and there is no speeding up. Once an unbalanced force is added, the cart's speed changes.

The substance water always has a mass ratio of 11% H to 89% O. If 5.00g of a substance containing H and O was decomposed into .2

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

No the substance is not water.

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of water is as follow;

2 H₂O = 2 H₂ + O₂

Step 1: Calculate moles of H₂O;

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 5.0 g / 18.01 g/mol

Moles = 0.277 moles of H₂O

Step 2: Calculate Moles of O₂ and H₂ produced by 0.277 moles of H₂O:

According to equation,

2 moles of H₂O produced = 1 mole of O₂

So,

0.277 moles of H₂O will produce = X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

X = 0.277 mol × 1 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.138 moles of O₂

Also,

According to equation,

2 moles of H₂O produced = 2 mole of H₂

So,

0.277 moles of H₂O will produce = X moles of H₂

Solving for X,

X = 0.277 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.227 moles of H₂

Step 3: Calculate Mass of O₂ and H₂ as;

For O₂:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.138 mol × 31.99 g/mol

Mass = 4.44 g of O₂

For H₂:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.227 mol × 2.01 g/mol

Mass = 0.559 g of H₂

Conclusion:

From conclusion it is proved that the amount of H₂ produced by decomposition of 5 g of water should be 0.559 g while in statement it is less i.e. 0.290 g.
