Why is the oxidation state of o2- more likely than o6+ please explain ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u> Because more energy is required to form O^{6+} ion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table which belongs to Group 16.

The electronic configuration of the element is: 1s^22s^22p^4

The number of valence electrons are 6 which is not a stable electronic configuration.

To attain stable electronic configuration, this element will either loose 6 electrons to form O^{6+} ion or gain 2 electrons to form O^{2-} ion.

The loosing of 6 electrons require a huge amount of energy and is an unfavorable reaction. Hence, this element will gain 2 electrons easily and form O^{2-} ion.

This element is considered as a non-metal because it gains electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

A 0.652-g sample of a pure strontium halide reacts with excess sulfuric acid. the solid strontium sulfate formed is separated, d
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The formula of the original halide is SrCl₂.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of this reaction is:

SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X is the halide.

  • From the equation stichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide will result in 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
  • The number of moles of SrSO₄ <em>(n = mass/molar mass) </em>= (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
  • The number of moles of SrX are  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
  • n = mass / molar mass, n =  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ = mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
  • The atomic mass of halide X = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2  g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
  • This is the atomic mass of Cl.
  • <em>So, the formula of the original halide is SrCl₂</em>.
