When two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen atom to form water what happens to the electrons?

1 answer:

3 0

Most bonds are made when a positive atom or molecule (one that is missing an electron in its outer shell) accepts an electron from a negative atom or molecule. Hydrogen is a positive ion because it only has one electron in its outer shell instead of a pair. Oxygen has paired electrons, but because it is highly electronegative one of the outer electrons is held closer to the nucleus, creating a partial negative charge. This partial negative charge attracts the electron in the outer shell of hydrogen and creates a bond. This type of bond accounts for the high surface tension in water.

2. 46. 23 from the mother’s egg and 23 from the father’s sperm.

Explanation:

ok for number one I am not entirely sure, but I am pretty sure that light, chemicals and temperature can all affect which genes get turned on and off. I am not entirely sure if the question is asking about the environment influencing inherited traits in the form of natural selection tho? If that is something you’re seeing right now, it might be a possible answer. But honestly I am not completely sure.

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58.4 g mole-1) would you dissolve in water to make a total volume of 500 mL of soluti

kolezko [41]

Given :

Volume , V = 500 mL .

Molarity , M = 0.5 M .

Molecular mass of NaCl is $58.4\ g/mole$ .

To Find :

How many grams of NaCl is required .

Solution :

Let , NaCl required is x gram .

Molarity is given by :

$M=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume (in liters) }}\\\\M=\dfrac{m}{M\times V}\\\\0.5=\dfrac{x}{58.4\times 0.5}\\\\x=0.5^2\times 58.4\ g\\\\x=14.6\ g$

Hence , this is the required solution.

(a) Write the balanced neutralization reaction that occurs between H2SO4 and KOH in aqueous solution. Phases are optional. (b) S

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

These are two questions and two answers

Answer:

Question 1:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Question 2:

0.201 M

Explanation:

Question 1:

The neutralization reaction that occurs between H₂SO₄ and KOH is an acid-base reaction.

The products of an acid-base reaction are salt and water.

This is the sketch of such neutralization reaction:

1) Word equation:

sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide → potassium sulfate + water

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

acid base salt water

2) Skeleton equation (unbalanced)

H₂SO₄ + KOH → K₂SO₄ + H₂O

#) Balanced chemical equation (including phases)

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l) ← answer

Question 2:

1) Mol ratio:

Using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation you get the mol ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ (aq) : 2 mol KOH (aq) : 1 mol K₂SO₄ (aq) : mol 2H₂O (l)

2) Moles of H₂SO₄:

V = 0.750 liter
M = 0.480 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M×V = 0.480 mol/liter × 0.750 liter = 0.360 mol

3) Moles of KOH:

V = 0.700 liter
M = 0.290 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M × V = 0.290 mol/liter × 0.700 liter = 0.203 mol

4) Determine the limiting reagent:

a) Stoichiometric ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol NaOH = 0.500 mol H₂SO4 / mol NaOH

b) Actual ratio:

0.360 mol H₂SO4 / 0.203 mol NaOH = 1.77 mol H₂SO₄ / mol NaOH

Since hte actual ratio of H₂SO₄ is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, you conclude that H₂SO₄ is in excess.

5) Amount of H₂SO₄ that reacts:

Since, KOH is the limiting reactant, using 0.203 mol KOH and the stoichiometryc ratio 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH, you get:

x / 0.203 mol KOH = 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH ⇒

x = 0.203 / 2 = 0.0677 mol of H₂SO₄

6) Concentration of H₂SO₄ remaining:

Initial amount - amount that reacted = 0.360 mol - 0.0677 mol = 0.292 mol

Total volume = 0.700 liter + 0.750 liter = 1.450 liter

Concetration = M

M = n / V = 0.292 mol / 1.450 liter = 0.201 M ← answer
