What is the octet rule

2 answers:

8 0

The octet rule is that atoms must have 8 valence electrons to have an octet. Usually, when atoms have an octet, they tend not to bond with any other atoms because they are already stable and do not need to bond anymore.

This is a rule that says that atoms tend to combine to complete electrons to 8. And that means that the two atoms tend to combine to complete a shell to 8 electrons. Hope i helped. Have a nice day

Sterling silver contains silver and copper metals. if a sterling silver chain contains 17.6g of silver and 2.40g of copper, what

Bogdan [553]

Answer:- 0.88

Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.

mass percent of Ag = $(\frac{mass of Ag}{mass of alloy})*100$

Mass of Ag = 17.6 g

mass of Cu = 2.40 g

mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

mass percentage of Ag = $(\frac{17.6}{20.0})*100$

mass percentage of Ag = 88%

So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.

When a 2.00 g sample of KCl is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 1.28 kJ ⋅ K − 1 , the tempe

Alchen [17]

Answer : The molar heat of solution of KCl is, 17.19 kJ/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat of solution.

$q=c\times (\Delta T)$

where,

q = heat produced = ?

c = specific heat capacity of water = $1.28kJ/K$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = 0.360 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=1.28kJ/K\times 0.360K$

$q=0.4608kJ=460.8J$

Now we have to calculate the molar heat solution of KCl.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat released = 460.8 J

m = mass of $KCl$ = 2.00 g

Molar mass of $KCl$ = 74.55 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }KCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }KCl}{\text{Molar mass of }KCl}=\frac{2.00g}{74.55g/mole}=0.0268mole$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta H=\frac{460.8J}{0.0268mole}$

$\Delta H=17194.029J/mol=17.19kJ/mol$

Therefore, the molar heat of solution of KCl is, 17.19 kJ/mol

Power is the rate at which energy is?

Mrrafil [7]

In physics, power is the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. In the SI system, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine.
