The equation is:
3 O₂ + 4 Co → 2 Co₂O₃
Oxidation half reaction:
Co → Co³⁺ + 3 e
Reduction half reaction:
O₂ + 4 e → 2 O²⁻
To balance the equation number of electrons lost must be equal to number or electrons gained so we must multiply oxidation half time 4 and reduction half times 3

If phosphorous has 5 valence electrons, how many does sulfur have?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic number for phosphorous is 15, meaning that it has 15 electrons (and protons). The first and second shells would be filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 5 which goes on the third shell, which is also the valence shell, meaning phosphorous has 5 valence electrons.

Since the atomic number of sulfur is 16, the first and second shells are also filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 6 to be on the third shell, the valence shell. Hence, sulfur has 6 valence electrons.

Cerrena [4.2K]

For a hurricane to form, the sea temperature must be at least 26.7. The temperature of the water in the problem is 27.5.
Another condition is that there should be little wind in the area. The problem states that there is a very light breeze. Finally, the humidity must be high.
Therefore, it is expected that a hurricane will form at the given location.

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms

kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

Incomplete octet
Double bond
Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.
