oxygen atomic number is 8.

electron configuration of O is 2,6

therefore O has 6 valence electrons. valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell that are involved in chemical bonds

atoms to become stable should fulfill the octet rule. This is where the outermost shell should have 8 electrons

so atoms with incompletely filled outer shells take part in chemical bonds to gain a complete octet and to become stable

So O too after forming a chemical bond would have 8 electrons in the outermost shell.

correct answer is

c. It would have eight electrons in the outermost shell.

HI decomposes into its elements according to second-order kinetics. How long will it take for the concentration to decrease to 1

Zanzabum

Answer : The time taken by the reaction is, $2.2\times 10^2hr$

Explanation :

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

$kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.6\times 10^{-3}M^{-1}s^{-1}$

t = time = ?

$[A_t]$ = final concentration = 1.25 M

$[A_o]$ = initial concentration = 2.25 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$(1.6\times 10^{-3})\times t=\frac{1}{1.25}-\frac{1}{2.25}$

$t=222.222hr\approx 2.2\times 10^2hr$

Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is, $2.2\times 10^2hr$
