The element oxygen has _____ valence electrons. (Input only a whole number, such as 7.)

2 answers:

8 0

Remark
The short Answer is 6. That's why the ion has a charge of minus 2. Oxygen is doing it's best to have its outer ring have 8 electrons which is the number of outer electrons contained in the outer ring of the Noble Gas Neon.

Answer 6.

Looking at the periodic table, oxygen is in group 6A, meaning it has 6 valence electrons. Another way to determine this is look for the noble gas in the same row as the element whom's valence electrons you wish to find and subtract 1 valence electron from 8 until you reach the desired element. This will be your amount of valence electrons :)

What is the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal if 75.00 g of the metal absorbs 418.6J of heat and the temperature rises

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

Q= 418.6 J
c= ?
m= 75 g
ΔT= 25 C

Replacing:

418.6 J= c* 75 g* 25 C

Solving:

$c=\frac{418.6 J}{75 g*25 C}$

c= 0.223 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

Describe how the height of the tides changes from Monday to Thursday.

adoni [48]

One of the results is that the moon is near the earth and the other one, the oceans tide. Even though the earth can hold any object within
ts proximity, the ocean is partly attracted due to its liquid property. At night, the ocean tends to be attracted to the moon by creating a bulge and assigning it as ‘high tide’. This is due to the strong gravitational pull of th moon to the earth.

I hope this helps!
