Answer : The number of moles of oxygen present in a sample are 11.3 moles.

Explanation :

The given compound is, Ni(CO)_4

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 1 mole of of Ni(CO)_4 has 4 moles of CO.

Or we can say that, 1 mole of of Ni(CO)_4 has 1 mole of nickel (Ni), 4 moles of carbon (C) and 4 moles of oxygen.

That means,

Number of moles of carbon = Number of moles of oxygen

As we are given that:

Number of moles of carbon = 11.3 moles

So, number of moles of oxygen = number of moles of carbon = 11.3 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen present in a sample are 11.3 moles.

Which element rarely reacts because it has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

C. Arsenic

Explanation:

Each period is terminated by a noble gas with a closed valence shell with electronic configuration ns²np⁶. Since noble gases have completely filled orbitals in the valence shell and are very stable, it becomes very difficult to alter their stable arrangement by the addition or removal of electrons. They they exhibit very low chemical reactivity.

Noble gas elements are: Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Helium (2 electrons in outer shell, stable).
