Chemistry
1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.

How many moles of Cu do you need to react with 12 moles of O2?<br> 2Cu(s) + O2(g) 2CuO(s)
zzz [600]

Answer:

24 mol Cu

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry</u>

  • Stoichiometry

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

RxN: 2Cu (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CuO (s)

Given: 12 moles O₂

<u>Step 2: Stoichiometry</u>

<u />12 \ mol \ O_2(\frac{2 \ mol \ Cu}{1 \ mol \ O_2} ) = 24 mol Cu

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

Our final answer is in 2 sig figs, so no need to round.

what is the half life isotope if after 21 days you have 31.25 g remaining from a 250.0 g starting sample size?
alexgriva [62]

250 --> 125 --> 62.5 --> 31.25


each arrow equals one half life, so 3 half lives


14 days/ 3 half lives =


4.67 days = half life

NH3 is a weak base (Kb = 1.8 × 10–5) and so the salt NH4Cl acts as a weak acid. What is the pH of a solution that is 0.084 M in
kolbaska11 [484]
Answer is: pH of solution is 5,17.
Kb(NH₃) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.
c(NH₄Cl) = 0,084 M = 0,084 mol/L.
Chemical reaction: NH₄⁺ + H₂O → NH₃ + H₃O⁺.
Ka · Kb = 10⁻¹⁴.
Ka(NH₄⁺) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 1,8·10⁻⁵.
Ka(NH₄⁺) = 5,55·10⁻¹⁰.
[H₃O⁺] = [NH₃]  = x.
Ka(NH₄⁺) = [H₃O⁺] · [NH₃] ÷ [NH₄⁺].
5,55·10⁻¹⁰ = x² ÷ (0,084 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [H₃O⁺] = 6,8·10⁻⁶ M.
pH = -log[H₃O⁺].
pH = -log(6,8·10⁻⁶ M) = 5,17.
