Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to become stable?

Answer:

Two electrons

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, atoms must bond to each other, sharing electrons among themselves in an attempt to complete their valence shell (last layer of the electrosphere). In other words, an atom becomes stable when it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

Oxygen atoms have six electrons in their valence shell, so to achieve the stability suggested by the octet rule (eight electrons), these atoms share two electrons, forming one oxygen gas (O₂) molecule.

We can use two equations for this problem.<span>

t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half-life of the element and λ is decay constant.

20 days = 0.693 / λ 
λ   = 0.693 / 20 days        (1) 

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt)                (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, No is the initial amount of substance, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 40 days</span>

<span>No = 200 g

From (1) and (2),
Nt =  200 g eΛ(-(0.693 / 20 days) 40 days)
<span>Nt = 50.01 g</span></span><span>

</span>Hence, 50.01 grams of isotope will remain after 40 days.

If the reaction N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) --&gt; 2 NH3 (g) has the concentrations 1.1 M for nitrogen, 0.75 M for hydrogen and 0.25 M fo
Luba_88 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_c is 0.136 and is reactant favored.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{c}

For the chemical reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen follows the equation:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

The expression for the K_{c} is given as:

K_{c}=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}

We are given:

[NH_3]=0.25M

[H_2]=0.75M

[N_2]=1.1M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.25)^2}{1.1\times (0.75)^3}

K_c=0.135

There are 3 conditions:

  • When K_{c}>1; the reaction is product favored.
  • When K_{c}; the reaction is reactant favored.
  • When K_{c}=1; the reaction is in equilibrium.

For the given reaction, the value of K_c is less than 1. Thus, the reaction is reactant favored.

Hence, the value of K_c is 0.136 and is reactant favored.
