How many covalent bonds are there in one molecule of silica, SiO2?

Chemistry

Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

The number of covalent bonds is determined by the number of valence electrons of an element. The number of electrons tells the maximum number of bonds an element allows. In this case, an oxygen atom requires two bonds. So for Sio2, each oxygen  atoms are bonded in double bonds to Si.  Hence there are two covalent bonds.

The number of covalent bonds that are present in one molecule of silica, SiO2 is two. The fact that the number of valence electrons actually determine the number of covalent bonds that can be made. In this case there are two oxygen atoms and two bonds are required to form the bond with Si. this is why this situation needs two covalent bonds.

Hard water often contains dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. One way to soften water is to add phosphates. The phosphate ion forms in
avanturin [10]
<span>5.5×10−2M in calcium chloride and 8.0×10−2M in magnesium nitrate.
What mass of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.5L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ion

1) Content of Ca (2+) ions

Calcium chloride = CaCl2

Ionization equation: CaCl2 ---> Ca (2+) + 2 Cl (-)

=> Molar ratios: 1 mol of CaCl2 : 1 mol Ca(2+) : 2 mol Cl(-)

Calculate the number of moles of CaCl2 in 1.5 liters of 5.5 * 10^-2 M solution

M = n / V => n = M*V = 5.5 * 10^ -2 M * 1.5 l = 0.0825 mol CaCl2

=> 0.0825 mol Ca(2+)

2) Number of phosphate ions needed to react with 0.0825 mol Ca(2+)

formula of phospahte ion: PO4 (3-)

molar ratio: 2PO4(3-) + 3Ca(2+) = Ca3 (PO4)2

Proportion: 2 mol PO4(3-) / 3 mol Ca(2+) = x / 0.0825 mol Ca(2+)

=> x = 0.0825 coml Ca(2+) * 2 mol PO4(3-) / 3 mol Ca(2+) = 0.055 mol PO4(3-)

3) Content of Mg(2+) ions

Ionization equation: Mg (NO3)2 ----> Mg(2+) + 2 NO3 (-)

Molar ratios: 1 mol Mg(NO3)2 : 1 mol Mg(2+) + 2 mol NO3(-)

number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 in 1.5 liter of 8.0 * 10^-2 M solution

n = M * V = 8.0 * 10^ -2 M * 1.5 liter = 0.12 moles Mg(NO3)2

ions of Mg(2+) = 0.12 mol Mg(NO3)2 * 1 mol Mg(2+) / mol Mg(NO3)2 = 0.12 mol Mg(2+)

4) Number of phosphate ions needed to react with 0.12 mol Mg(2+)

2PO4(3-) + 3Mg(2+) = Mg3(PO4)2

=> 2 mol PO4(3-) / 3 mol Mg(2+) = x / 0.12 mol Mg(2+)

=> x = 0.12 * 2/3 mol PO4(3-) = 0.16 mol PO4(3-)

5) Total number of moles of PO4(3-)

0.055 mol + 0.16 mol = 0.215 mol

6) Sodium phosphate

Sodium phosphate = Na3(PO4)

Na3PO4 ---> 3Na(+) + PO4(3-)

=> 1 mol Na3PO4 : 1 mol PO4(3-)

=> 0.215 mol PO4(3-) : 0.215 mol Na3PO4

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of Na3 PO4 = 3*23 g/mol + 31 g/mol + 4*16 g/mol = 164 g/mol

=> mass in grams = 0.215 mol * 164 g/mol = 35.26 g

Answer: 35.26 g of sodium phosphate

At STP (101.3 kPa, 0 °C), what volume would 2.00 moles of oxygen gas occupy? The gas constant is 8.31
lakkis [162]

Answer:

44.8 L

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Equation -

i.e.,

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = moles

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature

Using the information given in the question, Volume of the gas can be calculated -

P = 101.3 kPa

V = ?

n = 2.00 moles

R = 8.31

T = 0 degree C = 273.15 K

Using the above data, and putting the data in the respective formula -

PV = nRT

101.3 kPa * V = 2.00 moles * 8.31 * 273.15 K

V = 44.8 L

Hence, the volume of the given gas = 44.8 L
