Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as octet rule. That is because octet refers to 8 valence electrons, making a element stable in its outer shell.

Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule

Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.

In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.

How many moles of oxygen are in 1 mole of iron (II) nitrate?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

One mole of Fe(NO3)3, or iron(III) nitrate, has three moles of nitrate molecules, which have three moles of oxygen atoms each. We can show this mathematically:

1 mole Fe(NO3)3 * (3 moles NO3)/(1 mole Fe(NO3)3) = 3 moles NO3

3 moles NO3 * (3 moles Oxygen)/(1 mole NO3) = 9 moles Oxygen

9 moles of Oxygen in one mole Fe(NO3)3

Calculate the volume in cm^3 of 325.0 dg of alcohol. Alcohol has a density of 0.785g/mL.
Masteriza [31]
Answer:
106 mL

Explanation:
In order to be able to answer this question, you must understand what the density of a substance tells you.
The density of a substance is nothing more than the mass of that substance that occupies one unit of volume.
In your case, the density of ethanol is given in Grams per milliliter, which means that one unit of volume will be
1 mL
.
So, ethanol has a density of
0.785 g mL
−
1
, which is equivalent to saying that if you take exactly
1 mL
of ethanol and weigh it, you will end up with a mass of
0.785 g
.
Now, you know that the volume you're using has a mass of
83.3 g
. Well, if you get
0.785 g
for every
1 mL
of ethanol, it follows that this much mass will correspond to a volume of
83.3
g ethanol
⋅
ethanol's density

1 mL
0.785
g ethanol
=
106.11 mL
Rounded to three sig figs, the answer will be
V
ethanol
=
106 mL
