<span>Answer: O₃
</span><span />

<span>Explanation:
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
The term isoelectronic means same number of electrons.
</span><span />

<span>Then you need to count the number of electrons in the given species NO₂⁻.
</span><span />

<span>You have to count the number of electrons of N (nitrogen) atoms, the number of electrons of two O (oxygen) atoms, and the adjust for the negative charge of the ions.


</span><span>The atomic number of N is 7, meaning that each atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons.</span>
<span /><span>
The atomic number of O is 8, meaning that each atom has 8 protons and 8 electrons.
</span><span />

<span>The negative charge of the ion means that it has one extra electron, which is the responsible for the negative charge.
</span><span />

<span>Therefore the total number of electrons of the ion NO₂⁻ is 7 + 2 (8) + 1 = 24.
</span><span />

<span>Note that that 24 = 3 x 8, so 24 is the number of electrons in 3 atoms of oxygen.
</span><span />

<span>The moleucle O₃ is an allotrope of the oxygen. (an allotrope is a a form of an element with different structure and physical properties in the same physical state).
</span><span />

<span>Therefore, the allotrope of oxygen isoelectronic with NO₂⁻ is O₃ (ozone)</span>

Which of the following reasons best explains why water isn
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

the wax is a nonpolar substance that will not mix with polar water

Explanation:

Water is polar by due to the uneven distribution of charge between the hydrogen and oxygen. T=This automatically eliminates options 3 and 4.

Wax on the other hand is a non polar substance. Due to this non polar characteristic, it would not dissolve in water. The correct option is;

- the wax is a nonpolar substance that will not mix with polar water

Are these synthesis decomposition single replacement or double replacement?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1. Synthesis

2. Decomposition

3. Single replacement

4. Synthesis

5. Decomposition

6. Synthesis

Explanation:

Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:

Synthesis:

a + b ---> ab   In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new                compounds

Decomposition:

ab ---> a + b   In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds

Single replacement:

a + bc ---> b + ac   In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.

Double replacement

ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.

Now, let's go through the assignment

1. P + O2 --> P4O10  This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.

2. HgO ---> Hg + O2  This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.

3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2  This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).

4.  Mg + O2 ---> MgO  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.

5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2  This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.

6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.

A mixture with H2 and He exerts a total pressure of 0.48 atm. If there is 1.0 g of H2 and 1.0 g of He in the mixture, what is th
lara [203]

Answer is: the partial pressure of the helium gas is 0.158 atm.

p(mixture) = 0.48 atm; total pressure.

m(H₂) = 1.0 g; mass of hydrogen gas.

n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂).

n(H₂) = 1.0 g ÷ 2 g/mol.

n(H₂) = 0.5 mol; amount of hydrogen.

m(He) = 1.0 g; mass of helium.

n(He) = 1 g ÷ 4 g/mol.

n(He) = 0.25 mol; amount of helium.

χ(H₂) = 0.5 mol ÷ 0.75 mol.

χ(H₂) = 0.67; mole fraction of hydrogen.

χ(He) = 0.25 mol ÷ 0.75 mol.

χ(He) = 0.33; mole fraction of helium.

p(He) = 0.33 · 0.48 atm.

p(He) = 0.158 atm; the partial pressure of the helium gas.
