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.

A sample of seawater has 0.075 g of sodium chloride per mL of solution. How many moles of sodium chloride are there per liter of
amm1812

Answer:

1.28 mol

Explanation:

mole = mass/molar mass

n = v/v/cm³

mass = 0. 075g

v = 1dm³ =1000cm³

n= m/MV=0.075/58.44(1000)

n =1.28 mol

Question 11. Identify the reducing agent <br> Sn+2 + AG 0 —&gt; Sn0 + Ag+
Temka [501]

Answer:

Ag 0 is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reducing -> gaining electrons

Oxidizing -> losing electrons

Ag lost electrons (became more positive) since it went from a 0 charge to a +1 charge. Therefore it was oxidized. Ag+ is the oxidized product. Reactants that create an oxidized product are called reducing agents. This would make Ag 0 the reducing agent in this reaction.

Answer:

Weathering involves the use of water and or wind to wear down the environment. The sand dunes were most likely carried by wind to form them and form its shape. Erosion most likely took away parts of the sand to make the sand dune. Deposition most likely deposited sand to the area.
