Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.

  • the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
  • Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
  • There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.

Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

A sample of propane (C3H8) is placed in a closed vessel together with an amount of O2 that is 3 times the amount needed to compl
Aneli [31]

Answer:

final mole fraction of O₂ = 58.84% , CO₂ = 17.64% , H₂O = 23.52% .

final partial pressure of O₂ = 2.942 atm , CO₂ = 0.882 atm , H₂O = 1.176 atm .

Explanation:

Assuming that propane is present as a gas , and also that the combustion is complete:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

then taking as a reference propane sample= 1 mol , then

initial moles of O₂ = 3* 5 moles = 15 moles

final moles of O₂= 3* 5 moles - 5 moles = 10 moles

final moles of CO₂ = 3 moles

final moles of H₂O = 4 moles

total number of moles = 10 + 3 + 4 = 17 moles

final mole fraction of O₂ = 10/17 = 0.5884 = 58.84%

final mole fraction of  CO₂ = 3/17 = 0.1764 = 17.64%

final mole fraction of  H₂O = 4/17 = 0.2352 = 23.52%

From Dalton's law for ideal gases , the partial pressure p=P*x then

final partial pressure of O₂ = 5 atm * 10/17 = 2.942 atm

final partial pressure of CO₂ = 5 atm * 3/17 = 0.882 atm

final partial pressure of H₂O = 5 atm * 1/17 = 1.176 atm

Write the net ionic equation for the equilibrium that is established when potassium hypochlorite is dissolved in water.
oee [108]
Potassium hypochlorite when dissolved in water would dissociate into ions namely the potassium ions and the hypochlorite ions. Furthermore, hypochlorite ions would interact with water molecules and would decompose further. The dissociation reactions are as follows:

KClO <=> K+ + ClO-
ClO- + H2O <=> HOCl + OH-

Adding the two reactions, would give

KClO + ClO- + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH- + ClO- 

The two ClO- ions in both sides would cancel giving us the net ionic equation:

KClO + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH-

How many molecules of CO2 are contained in 4.40g of CO2
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

6.02 x 10²²molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of CO₂  = 4.4g

Unknown:

Number of molecules in CO₂  = ?

Solution:

To find the number of molecules in the given mass, we have to find the number of moles in the compound first;

   Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of CO₂  = 12 + 2(16) = 44g/mol

Insert the parameters and solve;

   Number of moles  = \frac{4.4g}{44g/mol}   =  0.1mol

  1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³molecules

  0.1 mole of CO₂ will contain 0.1 x 6.02 x 10²³molecules

                                                 = 6.02 x 10²²molecules
