Answer:

Because a molecule, by definition, has a valence of zero

(neutral charge, stable). Also by definition, an ion has a positive

or negative charge or valence and is not stable.

A metal oxide with the formula mo contains 15.44% oxygen. in the box below, type the symbol for the element represented by m.

lana66690 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The element represented by M is Strontium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.

The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol

It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

$\frac{15.44}{100}\times (x+16)=16g/mol\\\\(x+16)=\frac{16g/mol\times 100}{15.44}\\\\x=(103.626-16)g/mol\\\\x=87.62g/mol$

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.

Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.

How many liters of O2 at 298 K and 1.00 bar are produced in 1.50 hr in an electrolytic cell operating at a current of 0.0200 A?

stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.0069L

Explanation:

2H2O(l) ---->O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e-

no of moles= it/eF

NO of moles of O2 produced = (Current in Ampere x Time in second)/ (Faraday constant x Number of electrons required)

Moles of O2 produced = (0.02x (60 x 60X1.5 s)/(96485 x 4)

= 0.0002798 moles= 2.798x 10 ^-4moles

Using ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

Where, P is the pressure,

V is the volume,

n is the number of moles,

R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature

We have, 1 bar = 0.986923 atm

Substituting the values,

V = nRT/P = (2.798 x 10-4moles x 0.08205 L atm mol K x 298 K)/ 0.986923 atm = 0.0069L

Volume of O2 produced = 0.0069L

In a particular redox reaction, no2– is oxidized to no3– and cu2 is reduced to cu . Complete and balance the equation for this r

lianna [129]

Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰(s).

Oxidation half reaction: NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Balanced chemical reaction:

Cu²⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → Cu(s) + NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq).

Copper is reduced from oxidation number +2 (Cu²⁺) to oxidation number 0 (Cu) and nitrogen is oxidized from oxidation number +3 (in NO₂⁻) to oxidation number +5 (in NO₃⁻).
