Chemistry

Vaselesa [24]3 years ago

Answer:

X₂O₃ , Y₂O

Explanation:

Valency of an element tells how well that element can form compounds with other atoms.

It sometimes, is also determined by the number of hydrogen atoms that it combines with.

Oxygen usually has a valency of 2, or oxidation state of -2.

That means oxygen will need 2 more electrons in it's outer shell to form a configuration of a noble gas(octet configuration).

The oxidation state of an atom in a molecule gives the number of valence electrons it has gained or lost.

Assuming both X and Y are less electronegative than oxygen, X  has a valency of 3 and OS of +3.

While forming a neutral compound, we need no net charge on the compound. In X₂O₃,

total charge on X is 2 x (OS of X)= 2 x ( +3) = +6

total charge on O is 3 x (OS of O)= 3 x ( -2) = -6

Net charge is 0.

Similarly, in Y₂O

total charge on Y is 2 x (OS of Y)= 2 x ( +1) = +2

total charge on O is 1 x (OS of O)= 1 x ( -2) = -2

Net charge is 0.

Can anyone teach me what is criss cross method in chemistry​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

In the criss-cross method, the numerical value of the ion charge of the two atoms are crossed over, which becomes the subscript of the other ion. Using this technique, we will write the chemical formula of the given compounds.

Criss cross the absolute values to give Al2O3. To find the formula for magnesium oxide:- The oxidation number of Mg is +2 and oxygen is -2. Criss cross the absolute values to give Mg2O2In this example there is a common factor of 2 so divide by 2 to give MgO.

A certain reaction with an activation energy of 205 kj/mol was run at 485 k and again at 505 k . what is the ratio of f at the h
lapo4ka [179]
Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:

K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..

Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:

K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)

K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5

Answer: 7.5
