It’s 6 because each oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons

Simora [160]3 years ago

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outer energy level of oxygen is 6.

Explanation:

Oxygen is present in the group 16 of the periodic table. The electronic configuration of group 16 element is $ns^{2}np^{4}$ . The number of electrons in outer energy level of group 16 element is always found to be 6.

The addition of the number of the electrons present in the valence shell orbitals of oxygen will give the total number of electrons present in the outer energy level.

The number of electron in the outer energy level of oxygen is (2 + 4) = 6.

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor

Elza [17]

You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

Compare the rates of effusion for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases

Airida [17]

According to Grahams law the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular weight. The rate of diffusion is the measure of rate at which two gases mix. From this law we can say that for the two gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the rate of effusion of carbon monoxide is greater than that of carbon dioxide, this is because carbon monoxide is lighter (28 g) compared to carbon dioxide (44 g).

For the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride, write each of the following. The products of the re

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A balanced ionic equation shows the reacting ions in a chemical reaction. These equations can be used to represent what happens in precipitation reactions or displacement reactions.

Precipitation reactions

In a typical precipitation reaction, two soluble reactants form an insoluble product and a soluble product.

For example, silver nitrate solution reacts with sodium chloride solution. Insoluble solid silver chloride and sodium nitrate solution form:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

The Na+ ions and NO3- ions remain separate in the sodium nitrate solution and do not form a precipitate. Ions that remain essentially unchanged during a reaction are called spectator ions.This means these can be ignored when writing the ionic equation. Only how the solid silver chloride forms is needed to be shown:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)

In a balanced ionic equation:

the number of positive and negative charges is the same

the numbers of atoms of each element on the left and right are the same

Displacement reactions

Displacement reactions take place when a reactive element displaces a less reactive element from one of its compounds.

A common type of displacement reaction takes place when a reactive metal reacts with the salt of a less reactive metal. For example, copper reacts with silver nitrate solution to produce silver and copper(II) nitrate solution:

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

In this reaction, the NO3- ions remain in the solution and do not react - they are the spectator ions in this reaction. So, they can be removed from the ionic equation:

2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)

Question

Explain why this ionic equation is balanced:

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → BaSO4(s)

Hide answer

There are the same numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The total charge on both sides is also the same (zero).

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the formation of a silver carbonate precipitate:

Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Hide answer

2Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the displacement of iodine from iodide ions by chlorine:

Cl2(aq) + I-(aq) → I2(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Hide answer

Cl2(aq) + 2I-(aq) → I2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq

When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mass of CaCl₂ = 20 g

CaCO is presewnt in excess.

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 7.007 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 25 g

Mass of hydrochloric acid = 13.0 g

Mass of calcium chloride produced = ?

Chemical equation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CaCO₃= 25.0 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = 0.25 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles of HCl = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of HCl = 13.0 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles of HCl = 0.36 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaCl₂ with HCl and CaCO₃ .

CaCO₃ : CaCl₂

1 : 1

0.25 : 0.25

HCl : CaCl₂

2 : 1

0.36 : 1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

The number of moles of CaCl₂ produced by HCl are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCl₂ =0.18 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂ = 20 g

The calcium carbonate is present in excess.

HCl : CaCO₃

2 : 1

0.36 : 1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

So, 0.18 moles react with 0.36 moles of HCl.

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.25 -0.18

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = Moles × molar mass

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 7.007 g
