Explain, in terms of electron configuration, why oxygen atoms and sulfur atoms form compounds with similar molecular structures

1 answer:

3 0

Oxygen atoms and sulfur atoms form compounds with similar molecular structures because if you look at these two, they both have six electrons in their valence shells. Therefore, they will generally react in much the same manner. I hope this helps you on your assignment.

Which organism is the carnivore in this food web?

mihalych1998 [28]

Among the choices, the only one that can be considered a carnivore is C. Adelie penguin. Adelie penguins are found in the Arctic, and feed on aquatic creatures such as krill, fish, and squid. Krill is a type of crustacean that feeds on phytoplankton, which is at the bottom of the food chain.

You determine the volume of your plastic bag (simulated human stomach) is 1.08 L. How many grams of NaHCO3 (s) are required to f

dsp73

Answer:

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 753.5 mmHg = 0.9914 atm

( $1 atm = 760 mmHg$ )

V = Volume of gas = 1.08 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 24.5 °C= 297.65 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.9914 atm)\times 1.08 L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 297.65K\\\\n=0.0438 mole$

Percentage recovery of carbon dioxide gas = 49.4%

Actual moles of carbon dioxide formed: 49.4% of 0.0438 mole

$\frac{49.4}{100}\times 0.0438 mol=0.02164 mol$

$2NaHCO_3\righarrow Na_2CO_3+H_2O+CO_2$

According to reaction ,1 mol is obtained from 2 moles of sodium bicarbonate.

Then 0.02164 moles f carbon dioxide will be obtained from:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.02164 mol=0.04328 mol$

Mass of 0.04328 moles pf sodium bicarbonate:

0.04328 mol × 84 g/mol = 3.636 g

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

All of the statements describe hydrogen bonds EXCEPT: a. Hydrogen bonds account for the anomalously high boiling point of water.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The correct option is e

Explanation:

Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction/bonding that are formed between an electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine) and a hydrogen atom. They are weak intermolecular bonds compared to covalent bonds but account for the high boiling point of water because of the strong hydrogen bond presence between the water molecules. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds between each other; since an oxygen atom (in a water molecule) has two lone pairs on it's outermost shell, it forms an hydrogen bond with two hydrogen atoms of other water molecule. Due to the fluidity of liquid water molecules, hydrogen bonds keep getting broken (although recreated/formed almost immediately), hence, individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water does not exist for long.

In the explanation above, it was stated that the strength of the hydrogen bond in water is the reason for it's high boiling point. The atoms in a water molecule are bent NOT linear hence the strength of hydrogen bond does not depend on the linearity of the atoms involved in the bond.
