Explain briefly why oxygen exists as diatonic molecules?

Chemistry
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen generally exists as a diatomic molecule in the atmosphere when it is not combined with any other element. It forms the molecule O2 because in that configuration, it has its lowest energy level when uncombined.

What is the percent mass oxygen in calcium carbonate (CaCo3)?
Gnoma [55]
  <span>Step 1 is to determine the mass of each part 
Mass of Ca is 40.08 g 
Mass of C is 12.01 g 
Mass of O is 16.00 x 3 = 48.00 g 
Step 2 is to determine the total mass of the compound 
Total mass of CaCO3 is 40.08 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 100.09 g 

Step 3 is to determine the % of each part using the following formula: 
Mass of part / total mass x 100 = 

40.08 / 100.09 x 100 = 40.04 % Ca 

12.01 / 100.09 x 100 = 12.00 % C 

48.00 / 100.09 x 100 = 47.96 % O 

Step 4 is to double check by adding all percentages. If they equal 100, then I probably did it right. :) 
40.04 
+12.00 
+47.96

What is the molarity of a solution with 130g of CoCl2 in 1/2 liter? (can you show the steps please)
Elden [556K]

Answer:

2M

Explanation:

M=mol/L

1. Find moles of CoCl2

mass of substance/molar mass = 130/129.833 = 1.001 mol

3. Substitute in molarity equation

M=(1.001/0.5)

M= around 2M

It has been suggested that the surface melting of ice plays a role in enabling speed skaters to achieve peak performance. Carry
vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

Relation between pressure, latent heat of fusion, and change in volume is as follows.

          \frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T \times \Delta V}

Also, \frac{L}{T} = \Delta S^{fusion}_{m}

where, \Delta V^{fusion}_{m} is the difference in specific volumes.

Hence,    \frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{\Delta S^{fusion}_{m}}{\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}}

As, \Delta S^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{L}{T} = \frac{6010}{273.15} = 22.0 J/mol K

And,   \Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}} ...... (1)

where,    d_{H_{2}O} = density of water

              d_{ice} = density of ice

             M = molar mass of water = 18.02 \times 10^{-3} kg

Therefore, using formula in equation (1) we will calculate the volume of fusion as follows.

        \Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}

                       = \frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{997} - \frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{920}  

                       = -1.51 \times 10^{-6}        

Therefore, calculate the required pressure as follows.

              \frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{22}{-1.51 \times 10^{-6}}

                              = 1.45 \times 10^{7} Pa/K

or,                           = 145 bar/K

Hence, for change of 1 degree pressure the decrease is 145 bar  and for 4.7 degree change dP = 145 \times 4.7 bar

                              = 681.5 bar

Thus, we can conclude that pressure should be increased by 681.5 bar to cause 4.7 degree change in melting point.
