How many electrons are there in the valence shell of the oxygen atom of water? O a. 2 O 6.4 OC.6 O d. 8

denpristay [2]

Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons of oxygen = 6

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1

The total number of the valence electrons = 6 + 2(1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete.

In the water molecule,

<u>Oxygen has 2 bond pairs and two lone pairs which means that the total electrons in the valence shell is 8.</u>

Consider the following reaction: A(g)⇌2B(g). Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the following differe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=0.556 atm$

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=0.00995 atm$

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

$P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=0.9999 atm$

Explanation:

For the reaction

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

$Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}$

The conditions in the system are:

A B

initial 0 1 atm

equilibrium x 1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

$Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}$

Working with this equation:

$x*Kp=(1-2x)^{2} - -> x*Kp=4x^{2}-4x+1- - >4x^{2}-(4+Kp)*x+1=0$

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1

The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:

$x=\frac{-b(+-)*\sqrt{(b^{2}-4ac)}}{2a}$ (equation 1)

We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.

Kp = 1.4

$x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)+\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=1.128$

$x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)-\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=0.2215$

With x1 we get a partial pressure of:

$P_{A}=1.128 atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*1.128 = -1.256 atm$

Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.

With x2 we get:

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.2215 = 0.556 atm$

These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.

We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.

Kp=2*10^-4

X1=0.505

X2=0.495

With x1

$P_{A}=0.505atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.505 = -0.01005 atm$

Not sense.

With x2

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.495 = 0.00995 atm$

X2 is the solution for this equation.

Kp=2*10^5

X1=50001

$X2=5*10^{-6}$

With x1

$P_{A}=50001atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*50001=-100001atm$

Not sense.

With x2

$P_{A}= 5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*5*10^{-6}= 0.9999 atm$

X2 is the solution for this equation.

Is the sky a solid liquid or gas

s2008m [1.1K]

Gas.
The sky is not solid, not liquid but of gas. It is also called the atmosphere, one of the important spheres on earth that influences the climate –temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and the biotic community as a whole. The atmosphere or the sky is composed of many layers and is responsible to protecting the living organisms of the earth against the deadly ultraviolet rays and other strong radiation coming from the sun.
