Answer:

The correct answer is A. The oxygen atom has a negative charge.

Explanation:

because at the water molecule there is a covalent bond between Hydrogen atoms and Oxygen atom and in this bond the oxygen atom can attract the shared electrons more than the hydrogen atom , this result an unequal sharing of the electrons between the oxygen atom and the hydrogen atom , and this case that each molecule of water has oxygen atom with negative charge and two hydrogen atoms have positive charge

and answer D is wrong because the water called in chemistry the universal solvent , that because of its ability to solve many substance , and the substances which water cannot dissolve it is like oils and fat soluble at all

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F

Explanation:

The equation relating the temperature to time is

$T = T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )$

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min

(a) After 0.5 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.6065)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.3935)\\ & = & 100 + 3.935\\ & = & 103.935\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

(b) After 1 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.6321)\\ & = & 100 + 6.321\\ & = & 106.321\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min

T₀ =106.321 °F

ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F

t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-(t - 1)/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-(2 - 1)/1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (0.6321)\\ & = & 106.321 - 3.996\\ & = & 102.325\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.

What mass of oxygen (O2) forms in a reaction that forms 15.90 g C6H12O6? (Molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol; molar mass of C6H12O6

Dafna11 [192]

The answer is: the mass of oxygen is 16.95 grams.

The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.

From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.

n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.

n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.

m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.

m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen.

Describe how particles of iron (Fe) an oxygen (O2) react to how produce oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

$4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)$

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.
