Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Electron geometry (arrangement) is tetrahdral but its molecular geometry is bent.

Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost shell but it only uses 2 electrons for forming bonds with 2 Hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom - center atom is surrounded by four electron pairs (2 pairs with 2 Hydrogen atoms, 2 lone pairs) so that its shape is tetrahedral. In contrast, it's supposed to be linear shaped but in fact it has bent molecular geometry due to lone pairs repel other electron pairs more strongly than bonded electrons.

Water

This is due to the fact that the oxygen atom in water also contains two lone pairs of electrons.

What mass of H2 is needed to react with 8.75 g of O2 according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g)?

Alika [10]

Answer:- B: $1.10g H_2$ is the right answer.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

$O_2(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)$

We have been given with 8.75 grams of oxygen and asked to calculate the grams of hydrogen needed to react with given grams of oxygen according to the balanced equation.

From balanced equation, 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen.

So, let's convert grams of oxygen to moles and multiply it by the mole ratio to calculate the moles of hydrogen that are easily converted to grams on multiplying by it's molar mass.

The complete set up looks as:

$8.75g O_2(\frac{1mole}{32g})(\frac{2mole H_2}{1mole O_2})(\frac{2.02g}{1mole})$

= $1.10g H_2$

Hence, the right option is B: $1.10g H_2$ .
