Two oxygen atoms in a oxygen molecule share two electrons<span>. Oxygen atoms only have 6 </span>valence electrons<span> (</span>electrons<span> in the outer shell). They want 8 </span>electrons<span> so they need to steal two or share two.</span>
I think it's reactivity. but i'm not sure.
Answer:
107.8682 u would be the answer
Explanation:
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
Molar mass O2 = 31.99 g/mol
Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
Moles ratio:
<span>C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
</span>
5 x 44.01 g O2 ---------------- 3 x 44.01 g CO2
( mass of O2) ------------------ 37.15 g CO2
mass of O2 = 37.15 x 5 x 44.01/ 3 x 44.01
mass of O2 = 8174.8575 / 132.03
mass of O2 = 61.916 g
Therefore:
1 mole O2 ----------------- 31.99 g
moles O2 -------------------- 61.916
moles O2 = 61.916 x 1 / 31.99
moles = 61.916 / 31.99 => 1.935 moles of O2
