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 chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is
Airida [17]

Answer:

the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First we calculate the Volume of the steel cylinder;

V = πr²h

radius r = Diameter / 2 = 27 cm / 2 = 13.5 cm

height h = 32.4 cm

so we substitute

V = π × ( 13.5 cm )² × 32.4 cm

V  = π × 182.25 cm × 32.4 cm

V = 18550.79 cm³  

V = 18.551 L

given that; maximum safe pressure P = 3.10 MPa = 30.5946 atm

vessel contains 0.218kg or 218 gram of carbon monoxide gas

molar mass of carbon monoxide gas is 28.010 g/mol

so

moles of carbon monoxide gas n = 218 gram /  28.010 g/mol = 7.7829 mol

we know that;

PV = nRT

solve for T

T = PV / nR

we know that gas constant R = 0.0820574 L•atm•mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

so we substitute

T = ( 30.5946 × 18.551 ) / ( 7.7829 × 0.082 )

T = 567.5604 / 0.6381978

T = 889.317387 K

T = ( 889.317387 - 273.15 ) °C

T = 616.167 ≈ 616 °C  { 3 significant digits }

Therefore, the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Cobalt Sources

Cobalt-60 is used as a radiation source in many common industrial applications, such as in leveling devices and thickness gauges. It is also used for radiation therapy in hospitals. Accidental exposures may occur as the result of loss or improper disposal of medical and industrial radiation sources.

What is the difference between an enzyme and a catalyst?
stealth61 [152]
Catalyst- chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed from the reaction. Enzyme- substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a particular biochemical reaction. Hope it helps.
