Answer:

C) There are two atoms in the molecule.

Explanation:

In convention (accepted style) of writing out chemical equations and formular, it is understood that the subscript after an element tells us the number of atoms of said element.

For example, in the compound below, we can tell that;

H₂CO₃

There are 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 carbon atom and 3 Oxygen atoms.

We apply same principle to O2 and we now know the number 2 signifies the number of atoms present in the molecule.

Applying elimination on the other options, we have;

A) This option is not correct because electrons transferred or gained are represented by a charge which is the superscript after the element. E.g O²⁻

B) This option is wrong because sharing of electrons are not represented in the formular of a molecule or compound.

D) Valance electrons are usually represented by oxidation number. So this is wrong too.

Answer:There are two atoms in the molecule.

Explanation: All gases are diatomic i.e they are covalently bonded to another atom of the same element in order to attain stability. O atom is usually unstable because of it's incompletely filled outermost shell.

Which type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:? Which type of orbitals overlap to form the sigm
zysi [14]

Explanation:

When carbon atom tends to form single bonds then its hybridization is sp^{3}, when carbon atom tends to form double bond then its hybridization is sp^{2} and when a carbon atom is attached to a triple bond or with two double bonds then its hydridization is sp.

For example, in HCN molecule there is a triple existing between the carbon and nitrogen atom.

So, hybridization of carbon in this molecules is sp. Moreover, nitrogen atom is also attached via triple bond and it also has a lone pair of electrons. Hence, the hybridization of nitrogen atom is also sp.

Thus, we can conclude that s and p type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:

Sulfur dioxide, SO 2 ( g ) , can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO 3 ( g ) , by the reaction 2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 (
aleksley [76]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-296.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))}=-395.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times (-395.7))]-[(2\times (-296.8))+(1\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-197.8kJ/mol

To calculate the number of moles, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.67 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the mixture = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00bar\times 2.67L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{1\times 2.67}{0.0831\times 298}=0.108mol

To calculate the heat released of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = ?

n = number of moles = 0.108 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction = -197.8 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-197.8kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.108mol}\\\\q=(-197.8kJ/mol\times 0.108mol)=-21.36kJ

Hence, the amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

If 6.4 miles of Fe react with excess O2, how many miles of Fe2O3 can be formed? 4 Fe + 3 O2 -&gt; 2 Fe2O3
Yuri [45]
I'm assuming that by "miles" you mean moles.

If O2 is the excess reactant, that means Fe is the limiting reactant. That means that the amount of product being formed depends on the amount of Fe reactant present. To calculate the moles of Fe2O3 formed, start with the given 6.4 moles of Fe and use the mole to mole ratio given by the reaction as shown below:

6.4 mol Fe x \frac{2 mol Fe2O3}{4 mol Fe} = 3.2 mol Fe2O3
