Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

$O:8:1s^22s^22p^4$

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

$O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6$

Recently, the United States government decided to construct a huge crypt in the middle of Yucca Mountain in Nevada to bury high-

Anton [14]

The three concerns that the residents of this area might be:

1) The cost of not moving forward is extremely high, so they opposed the plan, as they think it would affect US economy

2) Nuclear waste disposal capability is an environmental imperative, so their environment would be polluted by very radioactive materials.

3) Demand for new nuclear plants also demands disposal capability which supports national security but again, their site will be no longer for them. But unfortunately, Extensive studies consistently show Yucca Mountain to be a sound site for nuclear waste disposal so the plan can't be abolished.

Hope this helps!

In a single displacement reaction between Sodium Phosphate and Barium, how much of each product (in grams) will be formed from 1

mixer [17]

Answer:

14.6 g of barium phosphate

3.35 g of sodium metal

Explanation:

2Na3PO4(aq) + 3Ba(s) -------> Ba3(PO4)2(aq) + 6Na(s)

The first step in any such reaction is to but down the balanced reaction equation according to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The two products formed are barium phosphate and sodium metal.

Number of moles of barium corresponding to 10.0g of barium = mass of barium/ molar mass of barium

Molar mass of barium = 137.327 g

Number of moles of barium = 10/137.327

Number of moles of barium = 0.0728 moles

For barium phosphate;

3 moles of barium yields 1 mole of barium phosphate

0.0728 moles yields 0.0728 moles × 1/3 = 0.0243 moles of barium phosphate

Molar mass of barium phosphate = 601.93 g/mol

Therefore mass of barium phosphate = 0.0243 moles × 601.93 g/mol = 14.6 g of barium phosphate

For sodium metal

3 moles of barium yields 6 moles of sodium metal

0.0728 moles of barium yields 0.0728 × 6 / 3 = 0.1456 moles of sodium

Molar mass of sodium metal= 23 gmol-1

Mass of sodium metal= 0.1456g × 23 gmol-1 = 3.35 g of sodium metal
