Oxygen has 8 plus-charged protons. The number of minus-charged electrons is

1 answer:

6 0

A single oxygen has atomic number 8 that means the nuclei of all oxygen atoms have eight protons. The number of minus-charged electron is two but the number of electrons is 10. <span>To gain a minus two-charge ion, it must have two more negative electrons than positive charged protons. With this, the ion has 10 electrons, which give it a -2 net charge. </span>

Here are 5 different types of everyday gases people use.

1. Helium helps us blow up balloons for special occasions.

2. Carbon dioxide gives us carbonated drinks.

3. Oxygen helps us weld materials.

4. Propane helps us start fires, or heats things.

5. Butane is in our everyday fire lighters/starters and even torches.

Hope I could help! :)

Answer : The empirical formula of a compound is, $C_6H_{10}S_2O_1$ and the molecular of the compound is, $C_{18}H_{30}S_6O_3$

Solution : Given,

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 44.4 g

Mass of H = 6.21 g

Mass of S = 39.5 g

Mass of O = 9.86 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of S = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{44.4g}{12g/mole}=3.7moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.21g}{1g/mole}=6.21moles$

Moles of S = $\frac{\text{ given mass of S}}{\text{ molar mass of S}}= \frac{39.5g}{32g/mole}=1.23moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{9.86g}{16g/mole}=0.62moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{3.7}{0.62}=5.96\approx 6$

For H = $\frac{6.21}{0.62}=10.01\approx 10$

For S = $\frac{1.23}{0.62}=1.98\approx 2$

For O = $\frac{0.62}{0.62}=1$

The ratio of C : H : S : O = 6 : 10 : 2 : 1

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = $C_6H_{10}S_2O_1$

The empirical formula weight = 6(12) + 10(1) + 2(32) + 1(16) = 162 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}=\frac{486}{162}=3$

Molecular formula = $(C_6H_{10}S_2O_1)_n=(C_6H_{10}S_2O_1)_3=C_{18}H_{30}S_6O_3$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_{18}H_{30}S_6O_3$
