Answer: A double bond, because they overlap orbitals to share two pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.

It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.

Oxygen is the element of group 16 and third period. The atomic number of oxygen is 16 and the symbol of the element is O.

The electronic configuration of the element oxygen is:-[Ne]3s^23p^4

As oxygen needs two electrons to complete their octet, thus it will form a double bond with other oxygen atoms forming two double bonds.

Answer:

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)

Explanation:

<em>Give the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of MgSO₃ and HI are mixed.</em>

When MgSO₃ reacts with HI they experience a double displacement reaction, in which the cations and anions of each compound are exchanged, forming H₂SO₃ and MgI₂. At the same time, H₂SO₃ tends to decompose to H₂O and SO₂. The complete molecular equation is:

MgSO₃(aq) + 2 HI(aq) ⇄ MgI₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)

In the complete ionic equation, species with ionic bonds dissociate into ions.

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)

The energy stored in molecular bonds is called _____.
makvit [3.9K]
Correct answer is chemical energy.

Reason:

For the chemical reactions to occur, energy is to be supplied for breaking and reorganization of bonds. This energy can be in form of heat, light, etc. Since, breaking of bonds results in chemical reactions to occur, t<span>he energy stored in molecular bonds is called Chemical energy.</span>

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Hg₂Cl₂(s) ⇄ Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG° = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) - ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

ΔG°f(i) are the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of reactants and products

ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂)

ΔG° = 1 mol × 148.85 kJ/mol + 2 mol × (-182.43 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-317.63 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ
