What are valance electrons

2 answers:

7 0

valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

A valence electron is an electron of an atom, located in the outer most shell (called a valence shell) of the atom, which can be transferred to or shared with another atom.

hope this helps!

How many molecules of carbon dioxide are dissolved in 0.550 L of water at 25 °C if the pressure of CO2 above the water is 0.250

Grace [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of molecules of carbon dioxide gas are $2.815\times 10^{21}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $0.034mol/L.atm$

$C_{CO_2}$ = molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas

$p_{CO_2}$ = pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 0.250 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=0.034mol/L.atm\times 0.250atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=8.5\times 10^{-3}M$

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of carbon dioxide = $8.5\times 10^{-5}M$

Volume of solution = 0.550 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$8.5\times 10^{-3}M=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{0.550L}\\\\\text{Moles of }CO_2=(8.5\times 10^{-3}mol/L\times 0.550L)=4.675\times 10^{-3}mol$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, $4.675\times 10^{-3}$ moles of carbon dioxide will contain = $(6.022\times 10^{23}\times 4.675\times 10^{-3})=2.815\times 10^{21}$ number of molecules
