2.

The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms.

6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8

Answer: The number of hydrogen atoms that can combine to oxygen are 2.

Explanation:

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table with electronic configuration: $1s^22s^22p^4$

This element requires 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of the periodic table with electronic configuration: $1s^1$

This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

2 Hydrogen atoms will share their 1 electron each with 1 oxygen atom. So, that both the element attain stable electronic configuration.

They will form a covalent compound with chemical formula $H_2O$

Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms that can combine to oxygen are 2.

What volume of so2 is produced at 325 k and 1.35 atm when 15.0 grams of hcl reacts with excess k2so3?

vova2212 [387]

The volume of SO2 produced at 325k is calculated as below

calculate the moles of SO2 produced which is calculated as follows

write the reacting equation
K2SO3 +2 HCl = 2KCl +H2O+ SO2

find the moles of HCl used
=mass/molar mass = 15g/ 36.5 g/mol =0.411 moles

by use of mole ratio between HCl to SO2 which is 2:1 the moles of SO2 is therefore = 0.411 /2 =0.206 moles of SO2

use the idea gas equation to calculate the volume SO2
that is V=nRT/P
where n=0.206 moles
R(gas constant) = 0.082 L.atm/ mol.k
T=325 K
P=1.35 atm

V=(0.206 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.k x325 k)/1.35 atm = 4.07 L of SO2

Which statements describe the six elements found in all living things? Check all that apply.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Carbon is the basis of all living things

Nitrogen is found in certain foods

Oxygen and hydrogen combine with each other to form water

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur are found in organic compounds

Explanation:

We are all made up of mainly three elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. These three elements are found in every living organism on our planet, and along with a few trace elements, they make up all the nutrients we take in and use to build our bodies and survive.

Nitrogen is primarily found in meats, and this is because nitrogen is a key element in amino acids (which are used to build proteins), however we cannot directly assimilate nitrogen from the air, so we have to assimilate it through amino acids already synthesized in plants, or in proteins found in meat.

The chemical formula for water is H₂O. Seeing the chemical formula, it is obvious that hydrogen and oxygen are the only elements in the water molecule.

In our bodies, we use phosphorus to form our skeleton and help maintain it, sulfur and nitrogen can be found in some amino acids, and carbon, hydrogen and oxygen can be found in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

What two categorical ways of thinking about matter are discussed in the passage?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

There's no passage but I can say that matter are that ''thing'' which extend through all Universe, matter is everything. It can be seen or felt as liquid, gas or solid. This changes of its state depend on the amount of energy that is involved.

So, here is used categorical thinking because is a abstract concept that is hard to understand sometimes. It's abstract when we say that matter is all, not just what we see, but even what we don't see like ''Dark Matter'', which is the majority in the Universe.

Which of the following statements is true about rain falling from clouds?*

enot [183]

Answer:

Clouds are not made of liquid water but they hold liquid water, and when the pool of liquid water that fills the inside of clouds gets too large for the cloud to hold, the cloud releases the water as rain. ... Rain does not fall from clouds.
