What is the octet rule

Chemistry
2 answers:
BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago

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

A 225-g sample of aluminum was heated to 125.5 oc, then placed into 500.0 g water at 22.5 oc. (the specific heat of aluminum is
Sidana [21]
when  heat gained = heat lost 

when AL is lost heat and water gain heat

∴ (M*C*ΔT)AL = (M*C*ΔT) water

when M(Al) is the mass of Al= 225g 

C(Al) is the specific heat of Al = 0.9 

ΔT(Al) = (125.5 - Tf) 

and Mw is mass of water  = 500g

Cw is the specific heat of water = 4.81 

ΔT = (Tf - 22.5) 

so by substitution:

∴225* 0.9 * ( 125.5 - Tf) = 500 * 4.81 * (Tf-22.5)

∴Tf = 30.5 °C

An automobile tire was inflated to a pressure of 24 lb in-2 (1.00 atm = 14.7 lb in-2 ) on a winter’s day when the temperature wa
const2013 [10]

Explanation:

Initial Pressure = 24 lb in-2

Initial Temperature = –5 o C = 268 K (Converting to kelvin temperature)

Final Pressure = ?

Final Temperature =  35 o C = 308 K (Converting to kelvin temperature)

No Change in Volume.

From Gay Lusaac's law; pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

P1T1 = P2T2

P2 = P1T1 / T2

P2 = 24 * 268 / 308 = 20.88 lb in-2

There would be a drop in pressure as the temperature increases. Appropriate measures should b taken by regularly gauging the pressure of the tire.

The lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom in an ester can form hydrogen bonds in some situations, but esters cannot form hyd
mixer [17]

Answer:

Esters have lower boiling point than alcohols.

Explanation:

Esters are the fruity smelling compounds which are formed from carboxylic acid and alcohol with the removal of water.

The general formula for the ester is RCOOR' which is prepared from RCOOH acid and R'OH alcohol.

Ester can not form strong hydrogen bond as there is no hydrogen attached to the electronegative atom in the ester and thus cannot form hydrogen bonds with each other.<u> Due to this factor, the interactions within the molecules of the ester is lower than that of alcohols which exist in strong hydrogen bonding. As a result, ester can be easily boiled when compared to the alcohols and thus they have lower value of boiling points.</u>

The reaction between A2 (two large red spheres) and B2 (two small blue spheres) to produce AB is shown in the diagram. The react
drek231 [11]

Answer:

B₂

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is always a reactant. You can determine which reactant is limiting by identifying which has the smaller mole-to-mole ratio with the product. This ratio can be found via the coefficients of the balanced reaction.

4 A₂ + 3 B₂ ---> 6 AB

4 moles A₂
------------------  = mole-to-mole ratio A₂/AB
6 moles AB

3 moles B₂
------------------  =  mole-to-mole ratio B₂/AB
6 moles AB

Since the mole-to-mole ratio between B₂ and AB is smaller, B₂ must be the limiting reactant.
