What is the total number of electron pairs shared between the two atoms in an O2 molecule?

Chemistry

vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
8 0
The answer is (2) 2 pairs. The oxygen atoms combine to get stable structure. So after the combination, each atom needs to have 8 electrons. So when they share 4 electrons can satisfy this requirement. Then there are 2 pairs shared.

"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = \frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol

Moles of propylene = \frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol

1 mole = N_A =6.022\times 10^{23} molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = 2.036 mol\times N_A

Units of propylene = 1.024 mol\times N_A

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}

If I need 2.2 moles of CO2 , and I have excess Fe2O3 , how many moles of C do I need?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.733 mol.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced equation:

<em>2Fe₂O₃ + C → Fe + 3CO₂,</em>

It is clear that 1.0 moles of Fe₂O₃  react with 1.0 mole of C to produce 1.0 mole of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

  • Since Fe₂O₃ is in excess, C will be the limiting reactant.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of C produces → 3.0 moles of CO₂, from the stichiometry.

??? mole of C produces → 2.2 moles of CO₂.

∴ The no. of moles of C needed to produce 2.2 moles of CO₂ = (1.0 mole of C) (2.2 mole of CO₂) / (3.0 mole of CO₂) = 0.733 mol.
