Atoms of oxygen have a total of 8 electrons. Are these atoms stable, and why or why not? a.) Yes, because the Octet Rule says st

able atoms have 8 electrons. b.) No, because only atoms with 2 valence electrons are stable. c.) Yes, because oxygen is in the air we breathe and it doesn�t hurt us. d.) No, because the atoms have only 6 valence electrons, but need 8 for stability.

Boron has primarily two isotopes, one with an atomic mass of 11.0 amu and another with an atomic mass of 10.0 amu. If the abunda
Masja [62]

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>

  • <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
  • <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

                                                 = 2.035 + 8.1

                                                 = 10.135

What volume of chlorine gas at 27 °C, 812 mmHg, is required to react with an excess of carbon disulfide so that 5.00kJ of heat i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.21 L.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the reaction will be,

CS2 (l) + 3Cl2 (g) ⇒ CCl4 (l) + S2Cl2 (l)

By using the standard values of the substances, the standard enthalpy of the reaction is,

ΔH° = [(-139.5) + (-58.5) – 0 – (87.3)] kJ/mol

= -285.3 kJ/mol

The amount of heat evolved for 3 moles of chlorine reacted us 285.3 kJ.

Now the number of moles of chlorine needed to react to produce 5.00 kJ is,

= 5.00 kJ × 3 mol Cl2/285.3 kJ

= 0.0526 mol Cl2

Now the volume of chlorine gas at 27degree C and 812 mmHg will be,

Volume = 0.0526 mol Cl2 × 0.0821 Latm/mol K × 300 K/ 1.07 atm

= 1.21 L
