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

Chemistry

Elodia [21]3 years ago

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.

If have a volume of 18 L of a gas at a temperature of 272 K and a pressure of 90 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if ra
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)

Explanation:

Given:

P₁ = 90 atm                    P₂ = ?

V₁ = 18 Liters(L)              L₂ = 12 Liters(L)      

=> decrease volume => increase pressure

=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)                                                                  

T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K)          T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)

=>  increase temperature => increase pressure

=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)

n₁ = moles = constant    n₂ = n₁ = constant

P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)

By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.

yanalaym [24]
Answer is: sodium (Na) and iodine (I₂).

<span> First ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat: 
</span>NaI(l) → Na⁺(l) + I⁻(l).

Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Na⁺(l) + e⁻ → Na(l) /×2.

2Na⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → 2Na(l).

Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2I⁻(l) → I₂(l) + 2e⁻.

The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume
IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm  (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =273K=

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles

CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = \frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352 moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride =moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L
