How many valance electrons does oxygen have

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Six

Explanation:

Oxygen has six valence electrons in its elemental form so its formal charge is 6 – 6 = 0. Each hydrogen atom owns one electron [(2x½) = 1].

Given 450.98 g of Cu(NO3)2, how many moles of Ag can be made? Provide your final answer rounded to two decimal places.

vivado [14]

Answer:

4.82 moles of Ag.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 450.98 g of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 63.5 + 2[14 + (16×3)]

= 63.5 + 2[14 + 48]

= 63.5 + 2[62]

= 63.5 + 124

= 187.5 g/mol

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 450.98 g

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 450.98 / 187.5

Mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 2.41 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Cu needed to produce 450.98 g (i.e 2.41 moles) of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Cu + 2AgNO₃ —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Therefore, 2.41 moles of Cu will also react to produce 2.41 moles of Cu(NO₃)₂.

Thus, 2.41 moles of Cu is needed for the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of Ag produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Cu reacted to produce 2 moles of Ag.

Therefore, 2.41 moles of Cu will react to produce = 2× 2.41 = 4.82 moles of Ag.

Thus, 4.82 moles of Ag were obtained from the reaction.

Find the equilibrium value of [CO] if Kc=14.5 : CO (g) + 2H2 (g) ↔ CH3OH (g) Equilibrium concentrations: [H2] = 0.322 M and [CH3

Annette [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium value of [CO] is 1.04 M

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is the state to which a spontaneously evolving chemical system, in which a reversible chemical reaction takes place. When this situation is reached, it is observed that the concentrations of substances, both reagents and reaction products, they remain constant over time. That is, the rate of reaction of reagents to products is the same as that of products to reagents.

Reagent concentrations and products in equilibrium are related by the equilibrium constant Kc. Being:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

$Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} *[B]^{b} }$

Then this constant Kces equals the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients between the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

In this case:

$Kc=\frac{[CH_{3}OH ]}{[CO]*[H_{2} ]^{2} }$

You know:

Kc= 14.5
[H₂]= 0.322 M
[CH₃OH] =1.56 M

Replacing:

$14.5=\frac{1.56}{[CO]*0.322^{2} }$

Solving:

$[CO]=\frac{1.56}{14.5*0.322^{2} }$

[CO]= 1.04 M

The equilibrium value of [CO] is 1.04 M

An acid and a base react to form salt and water. Which of the following best describes this type of chemical reaction? Redox Neu

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Neutralization

Explanation:

When an acid react with base it form the salt and water. The reaction is also called neutralization reaction because both neutralize each other.

In neutralization reaction equal amount of acid and base react to neutralize each other and equal amount of water and salt are formed. When pH does not reach to 7 its means there is less amount of one of reactant which is not fully neutralize.

Neutralization reactions are also used as first aid. For example when someone is dealing with HCl for cleaning purpose of toilet and get touched. It is advised to neutralize it with soap, milk or egg white.

Example:

Hydrochloric acid when react with the sodium hydroxide, a salt sodium chloride and water are formed.

Chemical equation:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Titration:

Neutralization reactions are also used to determine the concentration of solution. Titration is a quantitative technique in which acid or base is gradually added into the solution whose concentration is to be determine until the neutral point is reached.
