The correct answer is A. The energy change that happens when a neutral atom gains an electron

Explanation:

In chemistry, an electron is a negatively charged particle that along with neutrons and protons form the atom and make an atom be positively charged, negatively charged or neutral. Additionally, electron affinity refers to the energy involved as in the transfer of electrons, especially as an atom that is neutral gains an electron and energy is released during this change. This occurs mainly in the gaseous state of atoms and implies the creation of bonds. Thus, electron affinity is the energy change as a neutral atom gains an electron (Option A).

CH4 with pressure 1 atm and volume 10 liter at 27°C is passed into a reactor with 20% excess oxygen, how many moles of oxygen is
BaLLatris [955]

Answer : The moles of O_2 left in the products are 0.16 moles.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of CH_4.

Using ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

V = volume of gas = 10 L

T = temperature of gas = 27^oC=273+27=300K

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

(1atm)\times (10L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (300K)

n=0.406mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of O_2.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of CH_4 react with 2 moles of O_2

So, 0.406 mole of CH_4 react with 2\times 0.406=0.812 moles of O_2

Now we have to calculate the excess moles of O_2.

O_2 is 20 % excess. That means,

Excess moles of O_2 = \frac{(100 + 20)}{100} × Required moles of O_2

Excess moles of O_2 = 1.2 × Required moles of O_2

Excess moles of O_2 = 1.2 × 0.812 = 0.97 mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of O_2 left in the products.

Moles of O_2 left in the products = Excess moles of O_2 - Required moles of O_2

Moles of O_2 left in the products = 0.97 - 0.812 = 0.16 mole

Therefore, the moles of O_2 left in the products are 0.16 moles.

Described the role of electrons in the formation of a covalent bond​
My name is Ann [436]

Sharing of two electrons make a <u>Covalent </u>bond.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Attractions among the atoms bring them together. So the electrons from each of the atoms are attracted towards the nucleus of those two atoms, that “share” the electrons produces a covalent bond.

It is also named as molecular bond,  a bond that entails the sharing of a pair of electrons among the atoms. When the atoms share the electrons among themselves, it produces a molecule, which is more stable than the atom.

If the attractions between the atoms are strong enough and if every atom has enough space for the electrons in its outermost energy level then there occurs covalent bonding. So electrons are very important in the covalent bond formation.

please help!!!!!! What is the mass of 1 mole of magnesium (Mg)? Express your answer to four significant figures. The mass of 1 m
Semmy [17]
I believe you just look at your periodic table for this value. I don't think there is any math involved.
Therefore one mole of Mg = 24.305g.
