Answer:

5. gains two electrons.

Explanation:

In order to determine the most stable monoatomic ion of oxygen, we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

Oxygen is in the Group 16 in the Periodic Table, so it has 6 valence electrons. Therefore, it will gain two electrons to have the electron configuration of the closest noble gas.

What is the total energy change for the following reaction:CO+H2O-CO2+H2
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{-41.2 kJ/mol}}

Explanation:

Balanced equation:    CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

We can calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)

(a) Enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O} & -241.8\\\text{CO$_{2}$(g)} & -393.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$(g)} & 0 \\\end{array}

(b) Total enthalpies of reactants and products

\begin{array}{ccr}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{Contribution)/(kJ/mol})&\textbf{Sum} \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5& -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} &-241.8& -241.8\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for reactants} &\mathbf{ -352.3}\\&&\\\text{CO}_{2}(g) & -393.5&-393.5 \\\text{H}_{2} & 0 & 0\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for products} & \mathbf{-393.5}\end{array}

(c) Enthalpy of reaction \Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol - (-352.3 kJ/mol}\\= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol + 352.3 kJ/mol} = \textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}\\ \text{The total enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$}
