Which characteristic of O₂ is correct?

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.

Calcium solid is placed in a solution of iron (III) chloride producing calcium chloride and iron solid

mestny [16]

Answer:

3Ca₍s₎ + 2FeCl₃ -------------------------------------------------------------> 3CaCl₂ + 2Fe₍s₎.

Explanation:

Iron(III) chloride is also known as Iron trichloride and it has the molar mass value of 162.2 g/mol and density of 2.9 g/cm³.

The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between solid calcium and iron (III) chloride is given below as:

3Ca₍s₎ + 2FeCl₃ -------------------------------------------------------------> 3CaCl₂ + 2Fe₍s₎.

This kind of chemical reaction is known as single displacement reaction or single replacement reaction.

A solution is prepared by mixing 93.0 mL of 5.00 M HCl and 37.0 mL of 8.00 M HNO3. Water is then added until the final volume is

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$[H^{+}] = 0.761 \frac{mol}{L}$

$[OH^{-}]=1.33X10^{-14}\frac{mol}{L}$

$pH = 0.119$

Explanation:

HCl and HNO₃ both dissociate completely in water. A simple method is to determine the number of moles of proton from both these acids and dividing it by the total volume of solution.

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = [HCl](\frac{mol}{L}). V_{HCl}(L) \\ n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = [HNO_{3}](\frac{mol}{L}). V_{HNO_{3}}(L)$
