The electron dot diagram for the oxygen atom shows six electrons around the symbol of the atom.

<h3>What is the electron dot diagram?</h3>

The electron dot diagram is the diagram of atoms of elements showing only the valence electrons present in the atom represented with dots.

The electron dot diagram for the oxygen atom is drawn as follows:

The number of valence electrons in oxygen atom is determined; valence electrons = 6
The symbol for the oxygen atom is written
The valence electrons are shown as dots around the symbol of the element.

In conclusion, the electron dot diagram uses dots around the symbol of an atom to show the valence electrons in the atom.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

$Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

This equation tells that ; when 1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

$Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

$1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}$
