When involved in a chemical reaction with a metal, what charge will elements in the oxygen family most likely form?

1 answer:

6 0

They have 6 electron in their outer orbital. That means they want 2 electrons to be stable. Since metals have the tendency to give electron oxygen receives 2 electrons. The answer is -2

A plant fertilizer contains 15% by mass nitrogen (N). In a container of soluble plant food, there are 14.1 oz of fertilizer. How

masya89 [10]

We are given with the total mass of fertilizer which is 14.1 oz. This is equivalent to 399.73 grams. 15% of the total is the amount of nitrogen. Thus, the nitrogen amount is 59.96 grams.

A smaple of 1cm cuvette gives an absorbance reading of 0.558. if they absorptivity for this sample is 15000l/(mol.cm), what is t

Mazyrski [523]

To solve this problem, we use Beer's Law: A= ε.l.c
A is the absorbance- 0,558
ε is the molar absorptivity- is 15000 L⋅mol-1cm-1
l is the length of the cuvette- 1 cm
c is the molar concentration

Applying the formula,
0,558= 15000 x 1 x c
0,558/15000= c
c= 3.72×10⁻⁵ mol⋅L⁻¹

Consider the reaction 3X + 2Y 5C + 4D

xeze [42]

Answer:

This problem is providing a chemical equation between two hypothetical elements, X and Y and asks for the molesof X that are needed to

produce 21.00 moles of D in excess Y. After the following work, the answer turns out to be 15.75 mol X:Mole ratios:In chemistry, one the most crucial branches is stoichiometry, which allows us to perform calculations with grams, moles and particles (atoms, molecules and ions). It is based on the concept of mole ratios, whereby the moles of a specific substance can be converted to moles of another one, say product to reactant, reactant to reactant, reactant to product and product to product.

Calculations:In such a way, since 21.00 moles of D are given, we need the mole ratio of D to X in order to get the answer, which according to the reaction is 3:4 based on their coefficients in the reaction. Hence, we calculate the required as follows:

using the equation 2h2+o2-->2h2o, if 192g of oxygen are produced, how many grams of hydrogen must react with it

UkoKoshka [18]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2H2+O2-->2H2O

To determine the mass of hydrogen that is needed, we need use the initial amount of oxygen and relate it to hydrogen from the reaction given. We do as follows:

192 g O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 32 g O2) ( 2 mol H2 / 1 mol O2 ) ( 2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2 ) = 24.24 g H2
